Re: Girl Talk - Feed the Animals
...really?
I dunno how I feel about Girl Talk when I first heard (forget the name of the album) while riding in a friend's car almost a year ago... I was like, 'hmmm this isn't too bad and a bit clever' then when I said to Jess (my friend) yea, he's not too bad then I had to hear this rant about how it was 'art' and how unique and original it was, blah blah blah I was like... um... 2 Many Dj's? Which was met with a confused look, and then a bit of a 'disagreement' ensued (then repeat this exact same experience months later in a "Leadership in the Arts" seminar course) |

Re: Girl Talk - Feed the Animals
i know what you mean blake. night ripper was quite fun but not really the ground breaking magnum opus that some quarters held it up to be.
plus like a lot of these sort of mixes, they're very much of the moment and i can't imagine playing night ripper again many more times in the future. i'll be interested to hear the new one but won't be rushing out to download it... |

Re: Girl Talk - Feed the Animals
uh huh.
people do get ranty because there's ranty reasons why girl talk feels a lot different than 2manydjs, shitmat, and lots of other people who multi-mash stuff. but whatever. this album is awesome, better put together than night ripper, and full of "did he really just do that" moments that kept this guy from being a novelty act to me, unlike so many others just like him. |

it wasn't even a 'rant' about how different/similar Girl Talk is to 2manyDj's, it was this looooong rant about how "it's art" and "unique" and "nothing else is like it" to which I was like, dude - it sounds like a 'party mix' or like 2ManyDj's from back around 2001/2002... then came the vacant stare, as if I basically just made up the name "2manydj's" ... then she (my friend Jess) got really defensive. To which, I was like - hey Girl Talk isn't bad just don't give me 10-15 minutes of why I should like him so much for being 'original' just say - hey this guy does mash-ups... that actually ARE really good, technically difficult to produce, and not boring like the majority of them are these days but anyways - I probably will end up buying this album eventually |

Re: Girl Talk - Feed the Animals
yeah the 'originality' label only really applies in that he's got an exceptional ear for entertainment and momentum with these things (a fake leak came out in march and people were fooled for about ten minutes before calling it out because it was like every other crap mashup exercise), so people do get a little hyped beyond reason, but that's because they're fucking fun. they turn stupidass club hits into stupider creations that are ludicrous and make people go "really?" if they arent too busy getting way into it. to me it's at a point where it doesnt matter how it got there if it's one of the most entertaining things to happen that year.

Re: Girl Talk - Feed the Animals
I haven't heard that Blackstreet song in ages.
Fun for playing name that sample. I like how he uses very short samples that you almost miss. Would love to hear this in a club setting, it's a bit out of context just listening to it on the headphones.
