Open’ Er Festival Adds Itself to Badass Festival List

Electrosound Mash-Ups
Just came across the site for Electrosound, a mash-up DJ from Besançon (Northeaster France). He has a ton of free MP3′s of his mash-ups, including Britney vs Nirvana “Gimme More Teen Spirit,” Justin Timberlake vs Daft Punk “Around the Sexy Back,” and Lady Sovereign vs Gorillaz “Love Me or Dare Me.” Fun.
