I want to see a piece about what acts people actually were excited to see, unless that is too hard to discern from the stream.

During the Replacements set it appears folks preferred Girl Talk and the dance music tent
from the Billboard article Josh linked
As the set wore on, more crowd members wandered away from the stage, perhaps to catch Girl Talk on the main stage or get ready for Zedd's massively packed performance in the Sahara Tent.

girl talk is one of those acts that are massive among the festivalgoer demographic, to everyone (or maybe just me)'s continual surprise
― katherine, Monday, 14 April 2014 13:52 (ten years ago) link
you may be too young for the replacements, but you are never too old for fun.

i am surprised girl talk is still popular
― dyl, Monday, 14 April 2014 14:36 (ten years ago) link
dancing is still popular
― Mayor Manuel (La Lechera), Monday, 14 April 2014 15:01 (ten years ago) link
(although dancing to the replacements is fun too, i bet most of the crowd wouldn't be quite as buoyant as at the girl talk tent. )
― Mayor Manuel (La Lechera), Monday, 14 April 2014 15:02 (ten years ago) link
i can't believe someone who's modus operandi is literally toying with the most popular songs at the moment is still popular, why won't these kids do the right thing and watch a 54-year-old man ironically cover kiss?
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 14 April 2014 15:05 (ten years ago) link
? They haven't covered Kiss in years, idiot

The important thing to remember here is that The Replacements have always been super boring.

I've not heard them but ppl call them "the mats" right? That's lame

I like food and putting it on stuff and I'm not saying I could come up with a better wacky nickname for this band the replacements, I'm just saying: lame

The continuing success of Girl Talk is pretty baffling to me. Is Kid808 still really big too?

I have a lot of friends who love girl talk but personally idgi. I wanted to like him.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Monday, 14 April 2014 16:45 (ten years ago) link
Girl Talk basically just does the DJ Z-Trip thing, right? Does it go any deeper than that? Fun enough stuff. I don't know if I would check out him or Zedd though. Definitely not the Replacements.

festivals of its ilk have "music" maybe eighth or ninth on its list of priorities, just under sunscreen vendors and ahead of mist tents

Are the Replacements post-punk or a collective?

maybe they should be replaced by a good band like staind

i'm guessing you mean kid606 and not so much i guess?girl talk live is a bit baffling; he sorta has a party with a bunch of audience members on the stage with balloons and shit and then there are rings of subparties into the crowd and everyone else holds up their phones and tapes the entire proceeding? i wish that sort of thing was exciting to me.

It doesn't matter. It's popular as long as popular songs remain popular.
― Evan, Monday, 14 April 2014 19:14 (ten years ago) link
and dancing remains popular as well
― Mayor Manuel (La Lechera), Monday, 14 April 2014 19:23 (ten years ago) link
As long as girls and talking remain popular.

i think it's fair to ponder the enduring popularity of a mash-up act considering the decline of mash-ups as an area of interest outside of that one act's career
― some dude, Monday, 14 April 2014 19:50 (ten years ago) link
I don't know if the crowds into Girl Talk are the kind of people that can be concerned with how hip the concept of mash-ups are, the mash-ups will be popular (in festival type settings) as long as the mashed up songs remain current.

i've seen his show three times and each was worse and more eyeroll-inducing than the previous. and yes i am aware that people still like dancing and listening to top 40 radio (or even recurrent hits, which is what comprises the majority of gt's work)
― dyl, Monday, 14 April 2014 20:05 (ten years ago) link
So what is everyone struggling with then?
― Evan, Monday, 14 April 2014 20:09 (ten years ago) link
Again, the crowd he is attracting aren't analyzing the act in the slightest they're just all "OMFG I LOVE THIS SONG TOO"
― Evan, Monday, 14 April 2014 20:13 (ten years ago) link
Almost like what a DJ does.
