Girl Talk - Night Ripper
I apologize for the blog silence yesterday. I had a family funeral to attend in Louisville. I had to head home really late Sunday night after returning from Desdemona, which by the way, was fantastic. I hope you've read about it on Each Note Secure, YANP, iGIF, Marathonpacks and Good Hodgkins. I'm still getting organized with that, so to hold you over...
Girl Talk (aka Greg Gillis) is master of the mashup. In his third release, Night Ripper, the amount of samples used is unreal. Thousands of sounds slammed together, combining everything from Smashing Pumpkins to PM Dawn to M/A/R/R/S to Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch. If you can think of a modern classic or popular song from the last 30 years, chances are it finds it's way into one of these tracks. It's almost like "Name That Tune" as one blogger put it when describing the format of these tracks. The bits and pieces fly in and fly out and you have only seconds to recognize them. It may sound like a mess, but it's pieced together with high skill. My take : It's kind of the ultimate party record.
"Hip hop hits, grunge masterpieces, glossy club-shakers and rock anthems are all layered and pieced meticulously together into one non-stop celebration of pop and excess."

It was kind of funny. When I listened to this album I kept thinking of it more as a record of or musical past than an actual record. Like you said, it's kinda like playing "Name That Tune."
(that said, I wasn't really in love with it. Like we always joke, I am the pop kid ;)
er..that was me.

Dammit...I found this on #indietorrents a few days ago and wanted to be the first cool guy to leak it. SO FUCKING GOOD.
This is one of my favorite things you've ever posted. GirlTalk might replace PartyBen as my favorite Mash DJ. Thanks!
