Girl Talk

Anybody a fan? I'm going to see him tonight, and I'm pretty pumped actually.

He's obviously not a dj, but does anyone have any idea if he does his sampling live or if he just pushes play? His shows look like a lot of fun regardless, as the music is pretty creative.

That was actually really cool

I love how the chick is trying to sleep behind him.

i dislike the guy and his music

opened for him a few years back. just played a prerecorded set and acted like a doofus. musical content was questionable imo

Posted by iammesol on Oct-10-2008 23:10:

Hate the music I've heard from him.

Posted by enydo on Oct-10-2008 23:13:

Dislike him a lot honestly.

i can see what you mean. he appears to be doing fuck all in the second video. the man has talent in the studio though.

thread title vs. thread content was complete failure.

not happy.

i thought for a second his artist name might be "girl talk", kinda like M.A.N.D.Y. lol

I find his music annoying, though creative.
However to generalize, I don't really think that people like us who like long, repetitive, vocalless music would be the type like this "talented top 40 bar dj"

Eh, it was fun. It was mostly pop music, but that's what we expected. We just mainly wanted to go to see a shitshow and dance around a bit. Played Paper Planes twice, so I was happy. My friends and I were entertained by identifying as many samples as we could, which was a pretty high percentage of them.

isn't this pretty much the same as what dj shadow did ten years ago?

More commercial though. It's more like what 2 Many DJ's do, or a less underground Diplo. It was more about the spectacle than anything.

Who was really only doing what Mario C did 10 years before him.

I really hate when people default to DJ Shadow comparisons as if he was the first artist to ever sample anything else to make a new track.

The amount of credit people give him for being an "innovator" is absurd. Eric Clapton is a brilliant guitarist but it isn't as if he created the guitar, the blues, or rock music.

Yeah....Stevie Ray Vaughan did.

Damn straight, you trifling ass bitch.*

*Note: I really wanted to use the phrase "trifling ass bitch" today.

Posted by jfk-pilot on Oct-11-2008 17:54:

hmm i wonder what he will do when his computer boards the fail boat.

No but it's true though. I totally am a trifling ass bitch.

Girl Talk is ok, SPEAKY is hardcore awesome though with the commercial stuff.

There was all this buzz about "Girl Talk - Feed the Animals", which isn't Girl Talk's album, it's Speaky's, and it's pretty awesome.

diplo's in town on the 28th, and girl talk's in town on the 30th. I got a chance to see Diplo last year, but I think he's getting myt money again this time.

I've never heard of anyone having a bad time at a Diplo show. Not my thing, but everyone I know who is into them is absolutely mental for them.

Diplo is just one dude.

edit: You trickass nigger.

That is exactly how out of touch with this whole "mashup" business I am.

For the record, I only thought the first video was cool. The other two are just borderline pathetic. What a fucking wanker.
