Mashup DJ Girl Talk
From Wired.com, how do you visualize a music mashup of 300 different songs?
In the modern laptop era, any monkey with Pro Tools can make a mashup. But Pittsburgh-based computer maestro Girl Talk (known to the IRS as Gregg Gillis) has turned the cut-and-paste process into a jams-packed jigsaw puzzle. His latest album, Feed the Animals (released digitally in June with hard copies out September 23), brims with 300 song snippets in just over 50 minutes (compared to around 250 in his previous effort). "People want to see the bar raised," Gillis says. Below, a beat-by-beat breakdown of a single track.Thanks Daniel for the link!

I've seen that recently the italian edition of Wired also made an infographic about the same song. A little less readable (in my opinion), but still looking nice: http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/75185/projects/337563/751851257002775.jpg
It's interesting to see how different spaces brought to totally different solutions...
