I do this all the time. I think I actually heard Lil' Wayne's A Milli in a mashup before hearing the actual track.

e-603's new album is pretty cool, but it's got a LOT of repeats from other mashup mixes I've heard.

Girl Talk is coming to my school in September but I've heard he is very boring live. Anyone see him?

I never thanked you for the mirror. I used it. Thanks.


When he's using samples I haven't heard before, this album is awesome, but whenever I get into it he throws in something I've heard in every single mashup album and I get a little disappointed. Still, it's great, and if I hadn't listened to so much in this genre already I'd be wowed all over again. It's kind of difficult to judge objectively as a result.

Really? Are we talking about the same E-603? He's good, there's no doubt about it, but he's still trying to do the 'girltalk' thing but can only do it half as well. I think it's telling that he delayed 'Torn up' after 'Feed the Animals' came out.

I think that 'Something for Everyone' is a stronger album than 'Torn up', despite the lower production values. 'Torn Up' has an amazing opening track, and I think the album as a whole reaches moments of excellence. But the difference with Girltalk is that GT's mash-ups feel somewhat organic. Tracks just seem to 'go' together. For me he gets a lot that feels 'right', though I will admit there's a few mis-steps on 'Feed the Animals' but they're few and far between.

Just in case anyone was looking for a sample list from E-603, it's up on his website here:

I don't have Circle of Fifths, but I'm pretty sure the sample that comes in at 1:20 in the latter song is Ratatat. Specifically I think it's this one, maybe sped up a little:
Ratatat - 2006 - Classics - 02 - Lex

If not, then it's probably another song of theirs. Ratatat are great but it's hard to remember specific songs.. it's more like one contiguous trip where multiple songs on an album will build on a running "theme" melody.

okay so I'm a super mash bros fan (disagree with above drat it) and I went to their concert recently and love them more for it. I just got introduced to the white panda. who else would I like? I enjoy girl talk already

edit: I guess I should say on the grand thing of things SMB is wayyy greater than GT for me

I can't get into E-603 I don't know why. I definately think Girl Talk is better than Super Mash Bros, though. There are always samples used by SMB which I hear and just think "why?"" The point of this genree is that you take the best things and put them together, but they just use crappy modern rock radio poo poo a lot of the time.

Ludachrist is probably my favourite, I just wish they'd release stuff more often.

Just found Feed The Animals at a store and picked it up for the retarded price of AU$32. However, the black disc it has is loving cool.

I can't determine how sincere / sarcastic you're being. I've written a couple of papers on remix / mash-up culture (Larry Lessig, Henry 'JenkDawg' Jenkins, Rebecca Tushnet, etc), but mostly I just read Wikipedia a lot and don't kiss girls. My senior thesis is part legal theory and part lit crit as applied to mash-ups.

Welp. Here is some awesome/horrible news from Milkman.


Can't wait for the new album, but I'm sad he isn't looking to continue. Though I guess that you can only do so much with mashups, and that showed with the latest girl talk.

Gaspar Lewis posted:

Not "all". Definitely not "all".

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]?

I'm hoping it's better than the thing I posted. I don't think he was ever mentioned in this thread. He also does awesome video editing for his mash-ups.

Fun fact: Last year, a local DJ claimed Earworm's best of 2009 mash-up as his own work and started playing it regularly on air. I laughed.

Still giving it a couple listens to see if it grows on me, but I don't like it as much as 2009's.

Wow, Milkman rules. I just removed the last two tracks and will never think about them again.

I give my vote to Milkman's Algorithms. I've listened to it the most of all the recent releases but maybe this will change when E-603's album is released

I actually had planned on asking this question, was just trying to figure out how I was going to word it. I think this works pretty well for the wording.

Equilibrium posted:

I listened to Girl Talk years ago and liked it well enough, but didn't find it held up to repeat listens. Is there anybody specializing in less schizophrenic, more meditative mixes, that don't abandon a catchy hook every thirty seconds? Albums would be great.

Oggumogoggum posted:

Those lyrics sound familiar; I think that sample is also used in the Hood Internet's "Shut Up, American Boy". Hope that helps. Looks like the Estelle song features Mr. West.

'The New Workout' does not contain the line "No interview with the NME cause I'll only make enemy, no Q&A with the Q today 'cause I really don't have good to say" which is what he is interested in.

I asked this in the recommendation thread but I figure I'll get a better response here. Where can I find songs like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTx3G6h2xyA because holy poo poo that song owns. I have a good amount of mash up poo poo but this is different in some way idk I just know I need like 2 hours of this
