Mizaria posted:So have always kinda thought that mashups CAN be a decent way of rejuvenating a has-been track, and splicing it with another similar sounding track, to the benefit of both tracks. However, there are ridiculous amounts of AWFUL homemade and so-called professional mashups on the web, I kinda wondered as to people's opinions on said 'technique' in terms of enjoyment and/or if they have any decent ones they swear by, orrr any they absolutely hate? Just don't sign your posts. On the subject though someone put together Guetta's "Memories" and "Like a G6" and while a lot of people were trashing it, I think I would rather listen to it than either of the songs on their own. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAQB1VwDZ7A

Reading all the positive All Day reviews and clueless press-kit John Oswald/Plunderphonics name-drops has me in a lovely mood so if you haven't already you need to listen to Raiding the 20th Century before I break your face. Which I assume is most of you. It might be six years dated but it's still the best audio history of reappropriation I think anyone could ask for. Between this and the strides made since (yes this in some small way includes Night Ripper), anyone who legitimately thinks anything Greg Gillis does anymore is "transformative" needs to jam this through their earhole and then either wise up or maybe die or something else unpleasant. Tracklist/credits and a link-through to my link are here. Now this thread can vanish into nothingness again.

I'll agree that some of it is really good & a lot of it is cool & interesting (I am sitting in a room, etc etc) but that being said a lot of it is relatively painful to listen to. I'm talking mostly about the actual "mash-ups" that really didn't grab me & just kinda sounded eh.

You don't 'fit', and nobody said you have to. It's just that you don't enter into the dialog. If you don't want to engage your music on a deeper level and try to understand the context of it, or hold it to the same standards you hold other art, that's your hang-up. Then again I also didn't think All Day was any fun either; it felt rote and uninspired. If there was any joy or spark of his personality in there I missed it, other than the handful of parts I got into. It was a big step back for him both technically and in just being something I'd ever want to listen to more than once. Just know that if the next album is even worse, it's the fault of people like you for not wanting anything better, or anything more.

I was recently introduced to mashup artist Norwegian Recycling and man, am I ever impressed. He has 3 mashup albums available on his website and from beginning to end they're solid and consistently good. This is probably my favourite track of his so far: http://norwegianrecycling.net/2010/09/be-like-a-dosed-black-eyed-gary/ Also, I recently downloaded the new Ludachrist but was disappointed that it wasn't available as separate tracks. ...so I separated them myself. I'd love to offer up the split-tracks version (if it's not available anywhere else), but don't really have anywhere to host it.

Here is a .7z of the new Ludachrist album, split into 25 tracks according to the .txt file that comes with the original download. I fine-tuned the precise location of track changes (the .txt file is only specific down to the second) to make sure they flowed well. http://ge.tt/4nUX4dd

baberaham lincoln posted:Thanks dude. I'm not sure how lit critty any of my senior thesis will be, but I am intrigued by that. Have you ever seen any of Burrow's 'Cutups'? He was essentially doing what you're describing, but with famous books instead of music in the public domain (actually, I'm not sure if all of 24 Hours was in the public domain, but I'm pretty sure that most of Since I Left You is. Also, Aus copyright law is wonky and I don't understand it, so maybe they have a more all-encompassing public domain). Could you point me in the direction of these cutups? I know it's not exactly on topic, but that's really interesting to me, and Google did me no favors.

I went to the Pittsburgh show tonight; definitely the first show at the venue and possibly the first with the new (spoilered for people attending future shows who don't like to know stuff in advance) video screeens showing various things, including crowd footage and (at least in this case) Pittsburgh stuff. A lot of fantastic re-mashes of materials from the past three albums plus new elements like the backing track of gently caress You, the piano part from Runaway, and even a verse from this, although I doubt he'll drop that outside of his hometown. Not much else to say, because it's still a Girl Talk crowd and it's still a Girl Talk show. Javelin, by the way, killed it in their opening set.

As far as whether or not "All Day" is transformative, it certainly is more so than, for example, the B.I.G./XX album linked to earlier, which doesn't do anything different than "Stroke of Genie-us." You know what though: it's still entertaining. Seriously, though, go gently caress yourself with that kind of attitude.

Also, the fact that another album is worse doesn't make All Day any better.

kingcobweb posted:Maybe you just missed the part of his post where he addressed this, but he says right there that he didn't think All Day was any fun and I totally agree, Gillis has completely folded down to formula and away from the impulse to make interesting music that made Night Ripper a genuinely good album. I read it: he accepted for the sake of argument that fun was a worthy motive, then said that he didn't find the album fun. He basically said "Even if we were to assume . . . ." for one sentence. The ultimate thrust of his post, however, was that enjoying music for its surface qualities or "merely" for its ability to entertain makes someone at fault for lovely music. EDIT: I'm honestly not even defending the album. It's solid, but at a few points he aims for recognition over a good mix. I love Radiohead and Toadies, but dwelling on those tracks pretty much capsizes the two best tracks on the album. I'm attacking the underlying elitist tone in his post, though that may be a fool's errand in NMD. EDIT: Not worth bumping up the thread, but I did read his post. He said that if you don't want to read into music, that's your "hang up," but you only have yourself to blame for crappy music. Gaspar Lewis posted:If you don't want to engage your music on a deeper level and try to understand the context of it, or hold it to the same standards you hold other art, that's your hang-up. The middle paragraph did say that he found the album rote, etc., but that was responding directly to the argument that someone enjoyed the album as fun ("Then again . . "). Even if you think that fun is the barometer, he thinks the album failed, but he clearly rejects the idea that fun should be a valid primary analysis.

It's just as hard to craft a piece of purely "pop" art as it is to craft some groundbreaking work -- maybe even slightly more so, because you don't get the points for the effort or ambition Right, well I'm glad that we're taking the time to put intention into Greg Gillis' mouth for him. The fact that he described All Day as, "[being] ... more dynamic and expressing more patience and being more detailed than before" and "... something that's really, really complicated and has material that jumps around as far as possible in genre and style...", as well as "...[hoping] it can be headphone music..." suggests to me that Gillis wasn't shooting for something that is "crafted primarily to be fun" (source: http://pitchfork.com/news/40515-girl-talk-dishes-on-new-lp/). If Gillis wants Girl Talk to play art, as he did with the first 3 GT albums (and I mean the real first three albums because I am a real person who doesn't ignore whole chunks of an artist's catalog just because I don't like it), than both he and his work have to be able to withstand artistic criticism. Like Gaspar said, if you want to listen to mash-ups simply because they're fun, you're free to do so. No one is going to stop you, and while I think (or, mayhaps, some of the posters in this thread might think) that you'll be missing out on one of the more interesting aspects of mash-ups and bootlegs, you will undoubtedly still be able to enjoy All Day while hanging out with friends or going for a jog. But your idea that Gaspar is somehow morally objectionable for voicing an artistic critique of a work, whose own author intended it to be received "as art", is way more silencing and pretentious than his own response (which, for the record, I found to be very sane and rational and essentially on target. I probably wouldn't have been so hard in admonishing fans of the album, but you also have to remember that this is a board on a humor website and who gives a poo poo).

Also, I don't think anyone has mentioned Wise Blood yet. It's a nice refreshing take on mash-ups, perhaps a mash-up artist for the "chillwave" bedroom pop era. Dude self-identaifes at With House, but it doesn't have the dark quality that witch house does. I'm still waiting for someone to do a super dark and heavy mash-up project. I guess No Virgins remix of 'I'm Da poo poo' is what I'll have to settle for. Anyways, Wise Blood's 5-song EP is available for free on Wise Blood's band-camp: http://hazemotes.bandcamp.com/

I think All Day is loving rad. "Let It Out" is damned amazing. Disregarding the album as "rote and uninspired" just looks pretentious when it sounds so great, and is unintentionally hilarious.
