This was my fourth Girl Talk show, and the largest by 3 or 4 times. The first time I saw him was at this bar called The Depot in Baltimore, with maybe 30 other people. I didn't even know who he was, he just started playing.

His songs are like super-mashups. Each song has bits from maybe 12 or 20 different songs from several genres (pop, hip-hop, indie rock, classic rock, etc). It's a winning formula, sort of makes you say, "why didn't I think of that?". I guess that's how a lot of good ideas work, though.

    about girl talk i have to say that i like what he does but i don't think it's revolutionary...bands like soulwax did those mash ups years ago.
    plus since he is just doing stuff with his laptop it's really hard to tell what he is doing on stage really or if the whole show is planned ahead.
    but since he encourages people to party and it works it's fine...
  • Jake Lodwick 3 years ago
    I don't think anyone is claiming it's revolutionary!

    If you know some good revolutionary bands maybe you could link us to their websites.
  • soma 3 years ago
    Unfortunately I don't think there are many revolutionary bands about anymore.

    Good tunes are good tunes are happy times are all smiles are funky ... beep boop beep etc.
  • fabiantoepel 3 years ago
    well ok maybe the term revolutionary was a bit exaggerated...i just wanted to point out that he can't do anything wrong if he uses good hip hop tunes mixed together to throw a good party...to write good tunes is another thing.
    one band i would like to recommend is the jai alai savant from chicago. nice mix of different styles played live...
  • Jake Lodwick 3 years ago
    I don't know, I've heard plenty of boring mashups in NYC bars & clubs in the past 2 years. It's kind of an epidemic.
  • Kendall Bruns plus 3 years ago
    it may not be revolutionary (check out John Oswald's plunderphonics stuff from the freakin 80s[!]) but Girl Talk does it better than anyone else I know.
