No thread on the Girl Talk album, surely some mistake

but feed the animals is a bunch of mashups

I have like 900 albums on my desk that i have to get through for this week, so I'll return to this thread when I've heard it, I guess.

1) i am not sure why this guy in particular is getting all the attention, i think it is TOTALLY fair to call this stuff mashups--if these aren't, what is--and tons of ppl have been doing them since like 2001. so why this dude? he doens't even seem to be a particularly media-friendly personality. i have to assume ppl actually like the WAY he does it beyond just the concept...

2) saying that night ripepr or whatever is exactly like listening to the radio is kinda disingenuous, it's a funny dis but we all know it's not an exact equivalent.

3) don't know why i numbered those.

@RaptorAvatar: he took colored-peoples' music and made it white! what's not to like, right?? and since its white..its (probably) art.

i can't believe lil wayne said that

surprisingly coherent for him too

i'm weezy btw

I can't believe I missed this thread's delights.

Girl Talk does mash-ups, for sure, but his M.O. is a lot more than "lolmashup," though -- I mean, I'd heard plenty of terrible mash-ups before Night Ripper, but the reason that album clicked for me really had to do with the flow. It wasn't just slapped together like "hey rap song + rock song lolz!!" -- it was about dropping in samples at a rapid-fire pace that alternately disorient you ("wait, where do I know that from?") and hit your pop-music pleasure spots ("oh, shit, I love this song!"), all the while building this tapestry of sound that works as its own composition. At its best, there's an intricacy to it, and that's what I respect. (I want to withhold judgment until I've listened a few times, but I think I agree with J0rdan that Feed the Animals lacks some of the intrinsic build and contours that Night Ripper has).

so it's a mashup with 10 songs in one track instead of 2, basically?

that's what i'd sya.

say

i dunno man ive been buying those 50 song "every joint off the radio + a couple classics" mix-cds since h.s. dont really see how this is different besides having more garbage music

not enough weezer

i was about to make the exact same joke

No thread on the Tony Touch album, surely some mistake

the key to this is all in the first post:

All the usual ILM friendly faves mashed up into one 16 track extravaganza. Pavement, MIA, Neutral Milk Hotel, Annie, even a bit of Beatles and Genesis to keep Geir happy. What's not to like?

i mean, it really is all about the perhaps dubious pleasure of weezer + big pun or whatever. i don't think anyone would deny that...

i dont remember any big pun - most of the rap was stuck on either 90s obvious biggie shit or like paul wall & fergie

or whatever

string bit from that vitamin c song made me laugh

classic thread

Please i.d. these Girl Talk samples.

whose sock?

I.D. them yourself butt nugget

-- TynanTynan

ice cold!

you really can't invent a strawman this effective:

(Despite conscious, concerted efforts to like hip-hop, I've never been able to enjoy it... until now!)

that should be on a sticker on the cd

I have opted to pay $0.00 because:

I may donate later
I can't afford to pay
I don't really like Girl Talk
I don't believe in paying for music
I have already purchased this album
I don't value music made from sampling
I am part of the press, radio, or music industry
Other reasons

What do you guys think of the Mae Shi's Mixtape 2004?

i like the miley cyrus bit!

stayin' positive

not as good as Mae Shup's Mixtape

I have opted to pay $0.00 because:

I'm white btw
I don't like mashups
I've never been able to enjoy hip-hop
I would be embarrassed to have a girl talk cd lying around my house
I have like 900 albums on my desk that i have to get through for this week
I've been buying those 50 song "every joint off the radio + a couple classics" mix-cds since h.s. dont really see how this is different besides having more garbage music

Girl Talk was one of the first things my girlfriend and I got into together. She listens to it at the gym.

wiki sample list is unsurprisingly already up:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feed_The_Animals

Yes, and the changes I suggested were made, thank God.

yes, thank the lord

Girl Talk was one of the first things my girlfriend and I got into together. She listens to it at the gym.

Same thing with me any my wife. She adores Girl Talk.

thank GOD. lol xxp

I like that he gives you the option to state that as a member of the music industry, there's no fuckin' way you're paying for this.

wtf! i'm totally listening to the wrong album...what's all this stuff on imeem?

New album leak is a fake!

Yesterday, someone posted a fake "leak" of my upcoming album. I was not involved in this at all. The music posted had nothing to do with me. Please spread the word that the leak was fake.

Thanks

Gregg

You can stream the new one on his MySpace page, Tape Store.

phewwww

thanks, that was mostly terrible, except for the two moments i pointed out.
