freestyle + beatmatching = <3

Beatmatching in itself is a pretty easy, if underutilized (and almost looked down upon) technique in the FS world: Just turn down the machine volume (ideally - covering the speakers works as well), start the boombox after four counts, and go ahead with your routine.

In the past we've seen stuff like EnoOn's "IIDX', Clark Kent's "Smooth Criminal", and DarkDynasty's "Yeah!"...hell, RTF even scrapped together a boombox-themed FS gathering in 2001. Other than that, beatmatching is a rare thing FSers get to witness.

I'm hoping to throw a boombox/improv-themed NorCal tournament in the summer of 2006, so I started compiling a list of BPMs that match up to the songs in DDREx. This is mostly a list for personal reference, but hey, feel free to add onto it if you have any suggestions.
