Lions and DJs and Shaft, oh my!

Check out this video mash-up by thesmokeeater(s), DVJs from Amsterdam who found me on MySpace. I hardly go on MySpace anymore and usually ignore friend requests from bands/DJs, but I do appreciate a good mash-up so I checked them out. Glad I did! In the same vein as Mad Decent's video podcasts (which I love), thesmokeeaters combine awesome musical mashups with cool pop culture visuals. It's fun for the whole family... or you know, your ears and eyes. It's very cool that DJs are getting so creative and branching out into live performances with VJs doing visuals, artists painting live, and even real instruments. Definitely makes going to a show more fun than watching a guy press buttons on his laptop. Of course, many DJs are and have been way past that, but it's good to know that more are straying from that awful hipster uninspired norm. Today's theme is brought to you by the letters M, I, and A, by total coincidence.
