No thread on the Girl Talk album, surely some mistake

audacious move

and maybe he just wanted to make a good, solid party record that, you know, could be listened to for F.U.N., without him having to worry about it being mistaken as his latest friggin' high school science project?

but nah, that can't possibly be it, rite? i mean, cripes, man, wot wuz i even thinkin'?

well it's definitely not fun, so that's not it

as proven by S.C.I.E.N.C.E.

apparently he does everything in audacity?

this can't be true - there's just no advantage at all to using that for this kind of thing over ableton and similar. it's not like Burial where he deliberately wants things to sound slightly off here and there.

when he played at my uni and my mag did an interview with him I recall he used some arcane software to do this, though I can't remember any details beyond the fact that he uses a panasonic laptop instead of a mac cause panasonics are more durable? something like that

fairly sure he just uses winamp 2.xx and presses play

I agree All Day sounds more like a snapshot of what his live set is like at the moment rather than a new "composition" that would form the basis of a new set. Still it's free, maybe we should think of it as more like a patchy mixtape release than an album with pretensions.

I thought he used some archaic old pc .wav editor

Or at least used to

are there people doing this same thing and doing it better? considering how easy it seems... (I don't pay enough attention to know)

like I have no problem w/ the idea of what girl talk does, I just think he's lazy and gimmicky and only hits 2-3x per album

think this record was designed more than ever to be played on a dancefloor to drunk people, and not to be listened to in your home

i keep hearing either this, or the entire opposite of this, from supporters. not v much party unity on this one

I think it's more that this is not an album for repeat listening, unlike Feed The Animals (imo).

maybe not, but it sure does sound great NOW.

I missed the last weekly Girl Talk Supporters Association meeting, also forgot to paid my dues, can't get the 20% discount to Girl TAlk shows like I used to have

dude: Girl Talk Fan Organization could always use members

five years ago I'd be caught dead before being seen at a Girl Talk Fan Organization meeting, nowadays, I'll have to seriously reconsider my position

gtfo

i mean, that's great, i'm just a little surprised is all

i will go and get my coat

the album is less fun to listen to than the previous ones. maybe it's more fun to get drunk & dance to but kinda hard to test out that theory, not many drunk people in my living room

surely some mistake

jordan do you like this album y/n

yes, much more than 'feed the animals', altho it's making me wonder if i was too harsh on FTA but i haven't had time to go back & listen to it

and you dont find he lets the samples drag on for way too long? or is doesn't bother you? is your living room full of drunk people?

well honestly i never saw 'night ripper' as party music -- i think it's frenetic in an exciting & listenable way but i always thought it was a bit awkward to listen to -- i thought his show was easier to dance to, but i don't think that style translates as well to record -- but that may just be function to me

if i'm dancing i'd still rather listen to the original 'teach me how to dougie'

awkward to dance to**, sorry

i guess i'm being a bit contradictory but that's the role GT plays in my life

i thought his show was easier to dance to, but i don't think that style translates as well to record -- but that may just be function to me

i agree & that's why this album does so little for me

my ta in a history class im taking asked us what the 2010 equivalent of the soulja boy dance was & i said 'teach me how to dougie' and no one in the room had even heard of it and they all laughed at me for being hip to black teenpop dance trends. had a very whineyesque moment & was tempted to snap back w/ like pfft i bet you dorks would dance to it on the girl talk album, but i thought better of it and just shrugged

lol

looooool

why was he asking you what the 2010 equiv of the soulja boy dance was

she lived in germany for the past two years i think

two eventful years, evidently

teach me how to germany

I have opted to pay $0.00 because:

i find he lets the samples drag on for way too long
my living room is full of drunk people
i was in germany for the last two years
I have no problem w/ the idea of what girl talk does, I just think he's lazy and gimmicky and only hits 2-3x per album
it's like why wouldn't he want to produce some relatively more original shit by doing some crappy Duck Sauce type thing??
also he put 'girl' in his name and people like girls
the little sprat was doing this kind of "hey i'm a rapper now! now i'm procol harum! now i'm 80s keyboard dude" choreography,

does it absolutely kill anyone else when the keys of the vocal and instrumental don't match? it doesn't even happen that often on this new one but totally takes me out of it when it does. love this dude though, i think he's doing something that kinda needs to be done and the few other kitchen-sink remixers that i've heard really can't step to him imo

omg, new post from a facebook friend:

Greg Gillis of Girl Talk: Nothing else has stopped me dead in my tracks with my jaw in my shoes. Whether or not you appreciate the artistic merit of a good mash-up, you have to be able to admit that this person took the concept of a simple "mash-up" and created his own musical category. My brain exploded when I heard "Feed the Animals." It nearly atomized as I digested "Night Ripper" and the most recent release, "All Day." I realize that this might be cheating, as each album contains snippets from something like 300 artists, but if you can combine Lil' John and Paul Simon and make it sound not just good, but amazing, you're a bona fide genius in my opinion. I like Beyonce and Kanye and Lady Gaga as much as the next guy, but I think I appreciate them a lot more when combined with something crazilyunexpected. Is it legal? I'm not sure. Is it awesome? You bet your sweet ass.

stop the presses -- ilxor has corny friends

You bet your sweet ass.

lol deej

Lil' John

stop the presses - non-music nerd enthusiastically expresses unstylish opinion

surely some mistake

let he who has never enthusiastically expressed an unstylish opinion cast the first zing

idk he sounds like a music nerd to me

he's failing pretty hard at being a nerd if he heard Feed The Animals before Night Ripper

surely some mistake

Damn it. Wiki got rid of the nicely detailed samples list for this new one, they link to the Illegal Art where its just every sample on the entire album in alphabetical order. Annoying.
