anybody out there listen to girl talk? anybody out there listen to girl talk and then hey, that doesn't sound that hard? anybody out there actually try to put together a girl talk mix?
originally my (cocky) plan consisted of putting together an hour girl talk-inspired mix, then putting the product out on the blogsites under the false pretense that it was actually a girl talk mix. then of course i'd sit back and have a few well-earned snickers as the internet dissected whether or not it was actually a girl talk mix, whether it was up to par with his previous work... etc. but i eventually just said fuck it i'll post it here.
girl talk uses a ton of his own drum beats to link songs together and while putting together my mix i kind of felt like that constituted cheating - taking the easy way out when at a loss for transitions. the mix i put together is constructed COMPLETELY from other people's music. there are pros and cons to how that restriction affected the finished product.
anyways, i love girl talk and this ep (it's a little over half what night ripper and feed the animals run) is my homage to him, even if by the 18 of 19th minute the temptation to stretch mash-up sections out overcame me. that and making a mix like this is an eff-ing tedious project. i recently played this at a house party to a somewhat positive response. if i had to guess, there were too many samples flying by too quickly for people to sink their teeth into on the first listen. the last ten minutes got the most people shaking their booties, and it's not because that's the dopest part.
here are the samples i used, in chronological order, for my "What could happen if hear mars and girl talk made sweet love" mix. let me know whatchu think.
