Z-Trip videos, including Z-Trip and Beck live at Coachella

Z-Trip's new album comes out 4/19/05. I respect Z-Trip because he's paid his dues as a turntablist before helping to foster the trendy mash-up scene. (Though Z-Trip asserts he is not a mash-up DJ, in this interesting article about mash-ups).
He even says the following:

"It's sort of become the new karaoke, in my mind. You're at work, and someone's like, 'Hey, listen to what John did in Cubicle No. 4! It's pretty wacky: He did this thing with Christina Aguilera and the Strokes.' To me it's lost its appeal. And it's gone way, way out of the DJ realm."

In the meantime, check out these nice videos of Z-Trip in action. Yeah, I have permission to post these videos. Really, I do.
