Sidestepping some of the people talking about groundbreaking music, pop art, etc Me and a few of my friends from work, school, etc all love Girl Talks previous stuff (like all of it), e603, Super Mash bros. and a smattering of mashup artists in between all of the aforementioned friends have disliked All Day at best. It's just boring. opinions are opinions and I don't want to be that guy or try and be above it but I just wanted a dumb fun album to blast in my car or put on while I'm on my PC cruising forums like a boss and this isn't it. I honestly don't understand the people praising it while also claiming they love his other stuff.

One problem that I found with Feed The Animals and especially now with All Day is that it takes Greg so long to put out stuff that there's already someone online whose taken a specific beat or acapella and mixed it better than him already. With Night Ripper, I found myself hearing the real songs later and expecting the Girl Talk version. Now I hear Girl Talk's stuff and all I can think about is a better Hood Internet or Easter Egg or Ludachrist version. People were praising the U2/Twista mash up, but after hearing Flosstradamus do Twista/Sigur Ros, I just wasn't that excited. Also, Girl Talk uses the vocals from NERD's "Everybody Nose", where Easter Egg used the music behind it, and I thought Easter Egg's version was much more successful.

All Day was OK, Night Ripper was really raw sounding and he even threw in some of his own productions on there and that really added to the rawness of the mix where as All Day kind of just seemed like catchy acapella's thrown over predictably catchy beats. EDIT: I was just reading an earlier post where someone said he balanced the good songs with the bad, that's a perfect description of my point. He used such obscure samples the first time that half the fun was NOT being able to recognize them. Although the last track, One Day mixed over imagine was fantastic and ended things off perfectly. Not sure if anyones posted this yet but I am really liking The Death Set mixtape that's been doing it's rounds.

I know that it is nice and all to have a big epic ending, but what I would like to see one of these guys do is end the cd exactly how it starts. This way I can just loop it at parties and people will not know what the gently caress. I'd like to see how many rotations it could do. Please.

Just so you know, some retarded aspie wikipdian [see also: human being] decided it'd be a great idea to take down just about all the tracklists on wikipedia for all of Girl Talks albums because they're not actual research but others speculation. Way to go, wikipedia!

It was really only a matter of time - 'original research' is both the most stupid and the most basic type of information Wikipedia people like to remove from articles. It was incredibly lucky that it lasted that long. I was considering starting up something like http://samplespotting.wikia.com to host collaborative IDing, but I haven't found the time yet to start it and move the stuff over.

If people are still looking for the tracklists the last.fm pages for each song still have them up, although it's still a lot less convenient than the wiki page having them all on one page.

You really should go through the thread, there's a lot of great material there that's worth your time. I mean I know some of these mashup artists seem to demand short attention spans, but 17 pages isn't that big a deal.

I'm really liking All Day, but "Talk Is Cheap" has some of the best poo poo I've heard in a while as far as mashups go. Not only is the overall pacing great, but even poo poo that isn't all that obscure like RATM/Busta sounds fresh.

I half wonder if any future mashup artists can be successful or if they'll just be dismissed as "that guy who wishes he was Girl Talk." I guess that's not a bad thing though, right? Don't most youngsters pick up an instrument because they have dreams of being [insert person here]?

Geno posted:it just sucks there such a limited number of samples out there to choose from. The way that you can be a mashup artist and distinguish yourself from girl talk is by not sounding like girl talk, which is pretty simple to do since recordings made entirely from samples have been happening for years and years before Night Ripper.

"Don't sound like Girl Talk," is fine advice for the aspiring mashup auteur, and I agree there are a million samples to use. The rise and popularity of Girl Talk just brings up so many questions for me who has been following music for years, and as someone who went to college to write about music. Is there a market for the genre of "mashup artist" in the [relative] mainstream or is there really only room for Girl Talk? Where does the aspiring mashup artist even go to get their music out? A "standard" DJ can get nights at bars and clubs, and a band can do showcases at any local venue, but where, besides college house parties did someone like Gillis get his live word of mouth going outside the internet? I'm not necessarily looking for answers to these, but they're just questions that interest me. I guess the impact of the internet and technology as a whole on music moving further into the 2000s is interesting to a nerd like me. Anywho, sorry for the rant. Legit question: do guys like Super Mash or Ludachrist do live shows?

I got what you were saying, and I hope there are musicians that do explore this.  DJ Shadow is cool and all but I don't think he's someone I could listen to regularly. It's a shame that the mashups genre has been watered down by any rear end in a top hat on youtube slapping up an off-key, off-beat "remix" of whatever single is huge.I'd love more quality ADD-party-mashup types like Girl Talk or Ludachrist to pop up because it would be intersesting to see what kinds of samples they pull and how they'd use those pop samples that scream "use me!" from the moment the song hits.

It seems like we see a lot of the same samples pop up everywhere because they're popular songs that happen to have a section with vocals only or instruments only, or released karaoke versions, or have this separation in the stereo mixing: i.e. where these two things can easily be separated. For whatever reason the popular formula is pop/rock instrumentals and hip hop/rap vocals, but that could certainly be changed up. Still, as a result, we get a lot of the same samples. I feel like we could really see something different if artists were to: a) change the "rap vocals over rock background" formula b) better explore vocal-reduction filtering technology to sample tracks without that separation inherently. Yes I know these filters suck in winamp or whatever but there's some good semi-automatic human-assisted stuff out there that could probably do it sufficiently (http://www.mtu.com/basics/vocal-eliminator.htm)

weekly font posted:Rap vocals work the best because you have very little worry in regards to key matching. Unsurprisingly, this simplicity is what breeds a lot of lovely and/or "my first" mashups and mixes. They beatmatch and call it a day without any consideration of the cadence or mood of the acapella. The concept of the new whole being a new beast or in any way greater than the sum of its parts seems to be a dying art when the only sentiment people seem to expect from bastard pop is "WOOOOOOO PARTY". There's also the potential to go for an even cheaper shot than that and aim for "wacky juxtaposition" that falls flat almost every time since the shock of the new kind of petered out around the start of the last decade. Like, say, "Got Your Money" played over "Creep"!

This mashup is still the best in terms of matching the melody of the vocal with that of the backing track (also the only mashup to cross over to #1 on the pop charts) So yeah if you can do mashups like that go for it, but this was done by an Actual Electronic Musician so be warned.
