JM and I have recently taken to the album "Feed the Animals," a wild mash up by a guy who calls himself Girl Talk. The music he samples is so disparate and from such distinct moments that it can invoke a clanky mash up of memories if you're not careful.

(It's okay, I may have averted a seizure.) Oh! And his videos are cool too. Here's a sample (snort), in which my grad and undergrad years are laid right next to each other:
And here he is at work.
And finally, this one is my favorite song on the album, quite possibly because of Rich Boy ("candy red lollipop" ) flipping into some Rod Stewart:
