dying @ this, but obv otm

omg I can't believe you like the imagine part, I felt like that was clearly the worst single idea he's ever had

imo this is way better than feed the animals!

i dance in my chair and air guitar but that doesnt really count

i don't think it's great or as poignant as some of his stuff can be, just that it was a good idea in theory

markers can't dance, he can't talk
only thing about him is the way he walk.

pretty sure the audience would be 100 percent people exactly like you

feel like girl talk would be a fun guy to shoot the shit with on ilm

fixed

the idea that a FUCKING MASH-UP ALBUM FOR STUDENTS gains any critical attention whatsoever in 2010 is so annoying. not fun not clever just grim and gross.

also fucking DANCE ffs (not to this)

more about the audience

what are the audiences like at the shows you go to? (xpost n/a)

mostly everyone i know that is SUPER into girl talk has terrible taste in music/fits into the category of whiney's tweet but oh well i enjoy the stuff

^^

the audiences at the shows i go to generally arent much better, but i dont go to many shows, so

always felt like the name 'feed the animals' was an indirect reference to his shows

markers prob doesn't dance, he just pulls up his pants

you know lex not everything one listens to has to be on the cutting edge of music in 2010

i always felt like the name 'feed the animals' was a direct reference to his shows, like if there are animals at his shows you should feed them

there was a duck, and a goose, and a cow at the show I went to, but nobody fed them

?

my impression of his shows is that its a lot of young kids who are kinda nerdy & dont party much who find this to be a more 'acceptable' way to appreciate 'teach me how to dougie' than how 'regular ppl' just listen to it & so they go to his shows to CUT LOOSE & PERFORM THE ACT OF FUN IN A SOCIAL SETTING in a way that makes me HRO-style cynical. like ... i just get a theater kid vibe from ppl who talk about how FUNNN he is

that said this is from stories other ppl have told me about going to his shows -- "Dude it was a bunch of 19 yr olds going apeshit for, like, elton john"

Why does Lex even click on these threads?

ehh if girl talk is the gateway drug for letting loose at a trick daddy show then more power to him imo

ksh I will leave it up to you to find out

haha i dont really think it works that way, though

yeah I get it, but your argument is kinda the same as whiney's, that girl talk is a way for corny indie fux to dance to trina w/ a safety word?

i dont really know why its the only way some ppl listen to trina, but it is

it wd lead me to suspect that some ppl need things mediated thru acceptable social channels. & why those channels are 'more acceptable' ... well i guess u could say that part of my motivation for writing abt music where i do is arguing that these channels are unneccessarily closed off from other channels, & that there are connections that can be made that treats things in the other contexts, that they shouldnt be limited to playing by certain rules

but anyway this aint abt me its about girltalk! so ill leave yall alone

In the light of day, audiences at any club or dance-based gathering are pretty awful imo. The great thing is that doesn't matter a jot when you're out dancing.

whiney told me to tell dayo he wasnt saying anything abt gt's music he just thinks its fans are lol

lol @ whip my hair making its way into this

whiney thinks fans of all music are lol so

I saw him in '06 at a small bar and it was super-fun

he's been back since, twice, and played 1500-cap theatres, and I haven't gone because I don't think it would be fun

but I'd go if he played to fifty people again, even if they're teenage douchebags who are liking it the wrong way, because it might still be fun

ugh i hate when this convo degrades to this

arguing past each other. 'fun' vs. ''fun''

kinda think yr probably all otm re: douchey girl talk superfans but if someone said 'hey gbx let's go to a girl talk show' i wouldn't say no because i thought it wouldn't be fun or that i wouldn't dance, it'd be because the tickets are probably too expensive these days

GT albums are a hard listen overall (too jarring, eventually tedious, concept wears thin), but in small doses -- and live -- he's a blast.

oh yeah that too, assume my willingness to go again includes the ticket price going back down from $60 to $16

a girl talk show is $60?

yeah, this. this one is taking 4eva to download, but i was actually encouraged by whoever it was upthread that said the samples are "too long." there are parts of his other albums where whatever groove he's locked together with his samples seems good enough to sustain an entire track, but he's discarded it after 16 seconds.

i cant get it download at all

yeah, see the Real Love/These Eyes bit on Feed the Animals.

lil markers it took like fifteen minutes for the thing to ~start~ DLing after i clicked the link

guess thats not that bad considering in 1999 id wait a half hour for one 3 MB song to download
