K this is probably a stupid idea and won't work but we can try. Everyone seems to love from 1:57 seconds to the end of the song too deep - girl talk. So if we make a huge thread of everyone saying make a full song that sounds like it with the sweet "california here we come" beat in the background they might do it. dont call it stupid if you dont like it just piss off and back out of the thread. so yea we can make the thread than find a way to email them the thread adress so they can check it out.

d00d stop hating so hard. this isn't even about the thread anymore. Who cares if you don't like girl talk.

oh no! he doesn't use turntables! Therefore he isn't good at what he does! and no one should respect his music!

And telling someone they need music re-education is stupid. You have no idea what anyone here listens to. Unless every artist you listen to is unheard of, stop acting so pretentious.

its not that easy as it seems to make mashups like girl talk. you gotta make sure everything is beatmatched perfectly, no clashing, and transitions can be really hard to make. i remember reading somewhere that it took him about a full day to make one song on his album. spending 20 hours to make 2 minutes is not easy.

Not using turntables doesn't make your mix less "real" than a DJ Shadow mix ... a DJ is someone that plays with music. It doesn't matter if the DJ uses some vinyl, CDs, mp3s or anything else.
This video sums up pretty much my point on DJing ( for those who don't know, Serato is a program allowing you to mix mp3s with your cpu using special vinyls- timecode vinyls)


And about Girl Talk, what makes not like his stuff that much isn't the fact that he's not keepin it real or anything else. It's just that he doesn't not play original stuff, and tracks that aren't good IMO ( I mean, Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, etc. is some weak ass shit) in a way that I don't like (harsh transitions, only little samples). I understand though that playing well known tracks in a mix gets a party going: more people like listening to some Top 40 hits than obscure indie tracks. And yeah, don't forget that GT does a way better job than many club DJ's



While we're at it, if you wanna listen to some good mixing, listen to this mix by Soulwax(radio rip dating from 2005)

Alright guys, I'd hate to be the mediator but look - Allen, if you don't like the music, then fine, stop bitching at people because their tastes don't meet yours.  You're taking it way too seriously.  And to everyone else - you all took his bait.  You all know he likes to argue! 

Basically - no one was meaning to be n00bish or lame or pathetic or whatever in this thread.  I like the music so I signed it.  I don't care if Girl Talk is hated in the industry or whether it turns out he's actually awful.  I like his music and that's my opinion.  Personally I'd love to hear a whole mix with that riff in there.  Again, just my thoughts and opinion

So sue me.

I like A-Trak better personally. He's I believe Dave1 from Chromeo's brother and Kanye West's tour DJ.

Girl talk has some intresting bits in it i like the first half of once again, but the music, in my opinion, is ruined by the fact that its mixed way to much, and is just a bit gimmicky to me. Also it really isnt amazing its really simple anyone could do it really, have a proper dj mess about for you and it will put it to shame.

However if you liked mixed hip-hop type sets check out DJ Spinbads Fabric Set, same sort of well known hip hop tracks mixed together that would appeal to people that like that thing.

Sure anybody can mix the songs girl talk uses to make his albums but a big part of girl talks success is that he has found those songs which go together so well. Any DJ/mixer whatever you want to call it IDK can mix songs together but girl talk has found some of the best songs which go together well and has carried it through the whole track. That is what makes his music so good IMO.

you think its overhyped on ns? the few kids in my school who know about them talk about it as being greater than having sex while taking a nice faceshot in a pillowline with constant freshies.

To be honest i dont care how easy it is to make that song, i dont care how the song was made and if it was LEGIT dj stylin or what. all i do care about is if someone can make me a full version of it that sounds just as cool whether its girl talk or not. This might sound weird to you but when im listening to music IM FUCKING LISTENING TO IT. I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT WHAT WENT INTO MAKING IT, I LIKE THE WAY IT SOUNNNNDS is what i like! PEOPLE ARE GONNA HAVE DIFFERENT TASTES IN MUSIC, IF YOU POSTED GIRL TALK SUCKS GO AHEAD! FUCK! ALL I SAID WAS THAT I LIKE 20 SECONDS OF ONE SONG! now your going on about how its easy to make? then do everyone a favour and make it!. i liked the beat i like the rhymes, make me a full song like that.
