Yes, it's no secret I love Girl Talk. Who doesn't love this musical magician? I swear he's using a computer program of some sorts to identify which music to use and how to blend it. No mortal could EVER be that good.
It's also no secret I love computers. I love technology (more than Kip I swear) and I'd hope the pursuit of my PHD in computer science is such an indication. This semester I am taking Information Visualization taught by Ben Shneiderman. Thus is was as if the stars aligned when one of my buddies sent me a link that has a nice visualization of the latest Girl Talk album 'All Day':

Finally I can see what song is being played at what point. A few of the items are slightly off but I think this is a nice way to view Girl Talk's implementation. It's insane to think he occasionally mixes up to 7 songs at a time.
Insane.
