Wrap Party: deadmau5 cameo, Dillon Francis Grilled on Festie Angels, Flosstradamus US Tour

Soundgarden - "By Crooked Steps" - New video + deadmau5?
You wouldn't believe it at first, but you can find Joel Zimmerman (aka deadmau5) in Soundgarden's latest video for "By Crooked Steps." After the band wreaks havoc on their segways (even terrorizing a club DJ and his Macbook), they are put to a halt by none other than masked crusader himself (only sans mouse mask). Thanks to the guys over at Beatport for finding this.
