pop hits, y'all

― PARTYMAN (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 24 August 2006 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

5 minutes of huge, cavernous, anonymous electro drums...wtf hall and oates?!

― PARTYMAN (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 24 August 2006 14:54 (nineteen years ago)

Using the word "mash-up" around this record is insulting.

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Thursday, 24 August 2006 15:00 (nineteen years ago)

pfork + latin rascals is as accurate a summation as i can imagine

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 24 August 2006 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

one thing i did appreciate about dude live is that he kept a...well not a steady beat but definitely a pulse going throughout. you could dance to all of it. (and people did.)

― PARTYMAN (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 24 August 2006 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

i listened to it again yesterday....it's pretty neato....it's kind of like watching someone do card tricks or pulling coins out from behind your ear.

This makes me think of seeing Diplo a few weeks ago, where I kept thinking, "Dude, calm down. I'd like to hear more than 30 seconds of Me & You."

The rock riffs are always gonna make me think sub-2ManyDJs.

this album is damn fun for road trips

― Chris Grasinger (gman59), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 03:41 (nineteen years ago)

Just got this in the mail whilst there was no ILX. It's great. My favorite part is "Face Down, Ass Up" vs "Silly Love Songs"

Um... where can I get this?

sorry.

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 23:26 (nineteen years ago)

I can live quite happily without ever hearing this.

― brr (fandango), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 23:28 (nineteen years ago)

I soulsought it. Like that? Cheers.

― Cracks (Crackity), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 23:45 (nineteen years ago)

Still great. "The Whisper Song" + "Bittersweet Symphony" is sublime and I've never had any use for the latter.

― Rodney... (R. J. Greene), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 23:53 (nineteen years ago)

ironic hipster nonsense.

― pipecock (pipecock), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 03:27 (nineteen years ago)

"The Whisper Song" + "Bittersweet Symphony"

I AM DISGUSTED BY ANYONE WHO THINKS ANY OF THIS SHIT COULD POSSIBLY BE GOOD

i think i need to go and vomit a little now

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 23 November 2006 09:42 (nineteen years ago)

i can't even look at those combinations without feeling like i am BLEEDING INSIDE

i mean what next, aaliyah "mashed up" with oasis??? SPARE ME.

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 23 November 2006 09:42 (nineteen years ago)

Oh come on, the first few bars of Bittersweet Symphony are tailor made for wacky student mashup japery - ie with any trace of Richard Ashcroft completely expunged.

I have zero interest in hearing this album though.

(I sort of want to make that Aaliyah/Oasis bootleg just to annoy you now. Better still, Aalyic Monkeys!)

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 23 November 2006 09:58 (nineteen years ago)

you are not stevem, matt.

"wacky", "student", "mashup" and "japery" = worst words in english language

― RODNEY HAVE TOO MANY EMOTHINS!!! (R. J. Greene), Thursday, 23 November 2006 10:26 (nineteen years ago)

Relax Lex, there's no Aaliyah/Oasis it's Slim Thug/ Oasis instead. Some of it you might even like.

beware this album, fun-seekers

― milton parker (Jon L), Thursday, 23 November 2006 22:22 (nineteen years ago)

This album still sucks. Now, DJ Muggs' MashUp Radio, that's a fucking album.

― dommy p is alright WHICH IS A LOT MORE THAN I CAN SAY ABOUT A LOT OF PEOPLE (Dom, Friday, 24 November 2006 00:02 (nineteen years ago)

haha dom!

one month passes...

I like this album a lot...but I can't help but also feel a little bit frustrated because each part are cut off so quickly(and yes I know that's the point!), but I want to hear more of each part. Like Biggie rapping Juicy over Tiny Dancer.

Is there anywhere you can find the the whole mash ups?

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Saturday, 6 January 2007 14:34 (nineteen years ago)

I'm pretty sure "whole" mashups don't exist. Girl Talk just takes tiny bits and plugs them together for just those instants. Great how he hints at the fact that there could be a whole mashup track just built on one 10 second part in each of his songs eh? I think that's what I love best about the album.

― David Hartunian (dgh), Sunday, 7 January 2007 15:16 (nineteen years ago)

What I love best about the album is that it's fucking awesome.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Sunday, 7 January 2007 17:54 (nineteen years ago)

by the way, what's the sample that ties 'hate me now into 'laffy taffy', that intense distorted thing? i don't see it listen on the wiki.

it's part of one of his own keyboard compositions

― cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Sunday, 7 January 2007 18:15 (nineteen years ago)

The moment when it's going through "Hate Me Now" + "Intense Distorted Thing" and suddenly opens up into, but also explodes into "Laffy Taffy" is bliss puro.

― The Reverend Rodney J. Greene (R. J. Greene), Sunday, 7 January 2007 18:32 (nineteen years ago)

this album is terrible and you people will be slapping yourselves in less than ten years for thinking it has any value.

even worse are the djs in seattle following in its footsteps, yuck!

― maximum bob (gaseous), Sunday, 7 January 2007 18:34 (nineteen years ago)

even worse are the djs in seattle following in its footsteps, yuck!

I like the album, but that's just unexcusable. Seattle should be declared a Music-Free City. It would save the world from copious amounts of dreck.

― The Reverend Rodney J. Greene (R. J. Greene), Sunday, 7 January 2007 18:41 (nineteen years ago)

I just finished my year end mixtape, and my roomate suggested that next year, I take all the favorite parts of my fave songs and stick em together like Girl Talk does... Hmmm, once mashmix becomes easy enough to do, maybe it'll change the way we make mixtapes! (Though my freinds would probably not be too enthused about my Grizzly Bear-on-Young Dro-into-Prurient blobs).

Still, I'm gonna start loading my hard-drive with song-pieces now! My roommate's gonna try too. I'll post the results in 2008 if I pull it off! Everyone should do this.

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Sunday, 7 January 2007 22:07 (nineteen years ago)

i can see a bunch of annoying bullshit following in GT's wake

― ‘•’u (gear), Sunday, 7 January 2007 22:09 (nineteen years ago)

two weeks pass...

who are the djs in seattle following in its footsteps?

― rmd (dj gauge transformation), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 07:47 (nineteen years ago)

this totally needed more rewinds, sirens, and gunshots to be any good.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 10:46 (nineteen years ago)

agreed. i'm not a huge fan, but i'm still curious about these alleged seattle djs. i live there, and while i'm not an avid clubgoer, i've never really noticed anyone playing anything that similar to this. at least not intentionally similar. the closest i can think of are four color zack and f.i.t.s., but they seem more diplo-/tim sweeney-ish respectfully. can any seattleites illuminate me?

― rmd (dj gauge transformation), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 00:20 (nineteen years ago)

is there ANY part of that Rentals song you need besides one or two "Ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo"s?

Far more important: the sweet alarm of the synth on the chorus.

― Doctor Casino (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 05:09 (nineteen years ago)

Afaik, there's nobody in Seattle doing quite what Girl Talk is doing, for better or for worse. Fourcolorzack may come the closest to what GT does with his short-attention-span/genre-roaming/seemingly random-juxtaposition-heavy sets. Rolls off the tongue, don't it?

― Dave Segal (Da ve Segal), Thursday, 25 January 2007 01:59 (nineteen years ago)

i'm just talking about mashups in general (which are stil super popular in seattle). i hate all this shit except the avalanches so i should probably just keep my mouth shut.

― gaseous (gaseous), Thursday, 25 January 2007 02:34 (nineteen years ago)

i just don't need people to fuck with my favorite hot jams

― gaseous (gaseous), Thursday, 25 January 2007 02:36 (nineteen years ago)

unless it's 'billie jean' over 'living thing' over 'i got my mind made up'

I raved and ranted about it on my blog back in May.

I don't have too much else to say about it at this point except that it's my favorite album of the year.

And if anyone wants to go in a chatroom one day to help make a comprehensive list of every sample on the album, then that might be fun. Since his credits are all fucked up ("Oochie Wally" is QB's Finest, not Nas, duh!)

Idk. I am curious.

Interesting to read first 50 posts on this thread, which are very positive! Bc my assumption these days is
" ilx types are not fond of mr Gregg gillis."

http://fortressamerica.gawker.com/media-critic-calls-chris-hayes-sexist-for-girl-talk-r-1635774906

Mark Finkelstein, a NewsBusters editor dedicated to "COMBATING LIBERAL MEDIA BIAS" who "spent ten days in Iraq" once, has a scoop: MSNBC host Chris Hayes was really sexist on the air last night. Which is true, if you don't know who Girl Talk is. Mark Finkelstein does not know who Girl Talk is.
"Paging the MSNBC PC police!" Finkelstein crowed:
On his All In show this evening, Chris Hayes used some decidedly un-PC language to dismiss concerns that ISIS or other terrorist groups might be infiltrating across our porous southern border.
Huffed Hayes: "in the years since September 11, there have been occasional stories of this type. Sort of, a kind of girl talk mash-up of the fear about the border and the fear about terrorism being fused together." The fear of terrorists coming across the border is "girl talk?" Off to the re-education camp with Chris!
Speaking of re-education, by morning Finkelstein had appended his attack on Hayes' "frankly unfeminist... political incorrectness" with an "update":
UPDATE: Reader Tom E. has brought to my attention that "Girl Talk" is the name of a DJ who specializes in mashups. I'd surmise that, like me, most Hayes viewers didn't get the cultural reference and took "girl talk" at face value.
