Jordan Roseman (aka DJ Earworm) is a San Francisco-based mashup artist who has achieved recognition for his technically sophisticated, songwriting oriented music and video mashups. His annual “United State of Pop” mashups, short mixes featuring the top 25 songs of the year according to Billboard magazine, have reached the Top 100 for national radio play.
Roseman was born into a big family of musicians and raised in eastern Iowa and Evanston, Illinois. In his early life, he played piano and produced original electronic music on a computer, later majoring in music theory and computer science at the University of Illinois. He began using ACID recreationally in 2003. After encouragement from DJ Adrian at Club Bootie, Roseman created the moniker DJ Earworm ("earworm" referencing a song that repeats uncontrollably in one's mind) and began releasing mashups via a website.
DJ Earworm has a unique mashup style that consists of a compositional, songwriting approach. He gradually layers samples on top of one another, matching keys and subtly altering melodies. His mashups often convey an entirely new meaning than the original material, such as a political message in “No More Gas”. He has been contrasted with mashup artist Girl Talk, who has a more DJ-oriented style.

Federer has won a men's record 16 Grand Slam singles titles.

He is the only male player in tennis history to have reached the title match of each Grand Slam tournament at least five times and also the final at each of the nine ATP Masters 1000 Tournaments. Many sports analysts, tennis critics, and former and current players consider Federer to be the greatest tennis player of all time.
Federer has appeared in an unprecedented 23 career Grand Slam tournament finals, including a men's record ten in a row, and appeared in 18 of 19 finals from the 2005 Wimbledon Championships through the 2010 Australian Open, the lone exception being the 2008 Australian Open. He holds the record of reaching the semifinals or better of 23 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments over five and a half years, from the 2004 Wimbledon Championships through the 2010 Australian Open. At the 2012 Australian Open, he reached a record 31st consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal. During the course of his run at the 2012 French Open in Roland Garros, Federer eclipsed Jimmy Connors long standing record of 233 match wins in Grand Slam tournaments when he defeated Adrian Ungur in a second round match.
I keep on my shoulders the weight of the world,
but I broke when you asked for a ride.
I’ll be outside.
I guess you’re just bored and you’re boring like me,
and if you don’t keep me happy someone will.
I’ll be all right.
I didn’t know there’s a rollercoaster in town.
Been gone too long.
I’m prepared for the ups and downs,
but sometimes,
yeah, sometimes you wanna get off.
I’ll never feel the same again,
but I wouldn’t re-write anything.
Let’s hope your resolution’s made.
Yeah.
A minute to midnight,
and I’m bailing out.
Nothing to kiss but pavement now.
We’re counting down.
I can’t believe I used to like losing to you,
and if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, then.
That’s what you said.
Where are your friends?
Who are you gonna tell?
Been gone too long.
I guess the time alone will do you well.
I’ll never feel the same again,
but I wouldn’t re-write anything.
Let’s hope your resolution’s made.
Happy New Year, you’re dead to me.
Now that I’ve set the record straight:
this is my holiday.
this is my holiday.
I’ll never feel the same again,
but I wouldn’t re-write anything.
Let’s hope your resolution’s made.
Happy New Year, you’re dead to me.
Now that I’ve set the record straight:
Newspaper full of violence
But I ain't so good at violence
But I wanna smash Hilton's face like the window back at my place
These tabloids make me puke
All these bands I'd like to nuke
There ain't nothing today but bullshit and celebrity news
So what have we got?
Nothing, nothing to do.
Who's gonna take 'em down?
And rip off all their crowns?
Cuz I don't wanna hear Stephani or Beyoncé
Our minds have been impounded
and now we are surrounded
When he hears the radio does "Uncle Joe" turn in his grave?
So what have we got?

i can climb and
i can shine and

Negativity lives and breathes inside of me
It's worthless to think that I'll ever be free
Fuck you
My hate for this world is more than I can take
If you say that you love me, I'll say that you're fake
No one is listening and no one fucking cares
Life is disgusting and nothing is fair
I can't even stand to look you in the eye
You want me to smile, I want you die
You don't have scars and you don't know pain
Violent thoughts are what's left in my brain
