Girl Talk mashupper hijacks his own Montreal Jazz Fest set


Mashup legend Girl Talk hijacked his own set at the Montreal Jazz Festival last month. Towards the end of his set, he walked out of the auditorium and set up his laptop in the parking lot with two 200W speakers powered by a generator. 400 people converged on the lot while Girl Talk did another set, open air, no permit, while the cops looked on in bewildered amusement.

Open Source Video, the "open" copyright documentary, captured the event for posterity. Link (Thanks, Brett!)
