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

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

beware this album, fun-seekers

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

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'

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

good lord just looked at the tracklist for the first time
dude couldn't be much more obvious, could he. "In Da Club," seriously?

― deej.. (deej..), Thursday, 25 January 2007 02:40 (nineteen years ago)

Seattle mashup DJs: Freddie King of Pants (no, really) and Lance Lockarm (I think he still lives here; you out there, Lance?).

― Dave Segal (Da ve Segal), Thursday, 25 January 2007 08:15 (nineteen years ago)

The idea of Girl Talk is better than its execution. The songs don't congeal into something greater than the sum of their parts, but I suspect they delight critics who like to play name-that-sample.

Seattle should be declared a Music-Free City. It would save the world from copious amounts of dreck.

No Christmas card from Sir Mix-a-Lot for you this year!

This is patently false. That was one of the most compulsively listenable albums of last year.

― The Reverend, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 23:42 (eighteen years ago)

terrible

― deej, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 23:46 (eighteen years ago)

Still love it.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 23:47 (eighteen years ago)

Did you even hear it, deej? Your post above implies not.

― The Reverend, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 23:52 (eighteen years ago)

Your post from January, I mean.

― The Reverend, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 23:53 (eighteen years ago)

this album either makes me want to hear the songs in their entirety or it bores me because the song choices are obvious.

― omar little, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 23:55 (eighteen years ago)

sometimes both at once

― omar little, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 23:55 (eighteen years ago)

so so terrible

― babedad, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 23:57 (eighteen years ago)

Decrying the obviousness of the song choices = way to miss the point.

― The Reverend, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 23:58 (eighteen years ago)

OTM.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 23:58 (eighteen years ago)

Has nobody on this thread ever heard a fucking mix album before? It's like DJ Yoda with all the fun sucked out of it and replaced by a shitload of chinstroking tedium.
OTFM

― babedad, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 23:58 (eighteen years ago)

haha this disc is great
i'm white btw

― sleepingbag, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 00:00 (eighteen years ago)

we could have guessed that.

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 31 October 2007 00:02 (eighteen years ago)

xxxpost The point of the album is recontextualizing songs you already know.

― jaymc, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 00:02 (eighteen years ago)

song choices being obvious aka familiar is half of why this is so great in the first place.

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 31 October 2007 00:03 (eighteen years ago)

right :/

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 31 October 2007 00:03 (eighteen years ago)

i'm not missing the point, i just don't care about this guy's recontextualizing.

― omar little, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 00:10 (eighteen years ago)

there's nothing as complex as recontextualization going on with this album...

― babedad, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 00:24 (eighteen years ago)

no matter what context i hear 'in da club' in, i don't want to hear it any more

― deej, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 00:26 (eighteen years ago)

he can recontextualize it all he wants

― deej, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 00:26 (eighteen years ago)

merely sticking songs and bits on top of each other is not recontextualizing in and of itself.

― babedad, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 00:29 (eighteen years ago)

you have to have vision

― babedad, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 00:29 (eighteen years ago)

a vision
