Anything is better than Girl Talk

I'd have to say that I was within the whirlwind of hype that is Girl Talk. I was interested in the concept of mostly hooks and only 20sec of any song. However, it's like eating just the frosting off a bunch of cupcakes: you never get into the substance. As a result, your teeth (brain) rot. It's great for the ADHD youth of the nation but why promote it? I shouldn't be likening Pretty Lights to Girl Talk, but he does plenty of sampling and seamless puts them all together. I guess a better comparison would be to an earlier RJD2 who used primarily all samples (versus now where he writes his own stuff). This sound is similar in groove, downtempo, chill step, whatever to RJ.



Good news for you, all of Derek Vincent Smith's stuff is available for free at his website. Why? I don't know; I'd probably buy an album and play it for the babies. Give the guy some money, folks. In the meantime...

This guy is rather neat. I heard about him here. He definitely has that dreamy, floating sound. Go reverb! It's time for bed, so this mini-set is perfect.

GAH!!

Ok, so I knew about Flosstradamus playing at the Burlington way back when and I either didn't go there because:

a) I was doing something I thought was better
b) The last Flosstradamus set I saw at Sonotheque I wasn't impressed with
c) I said 'Eh, fuck it'

Well hearing from this guy about the sexy results that ensued sent me in a rage of disappointment for about 5sec... apparently DIPLO showed up and started to PLAY A SET that night. FML.

Ok, enough dwelling on the past, let's reminisce instead. How about a choose your own adventure? Would you rather:

a) Take Charge at 16Hz


b) Conquer the Wind


or

c) Shoot and Drive Away via Giorgio Moroder

P.S. Remember, a Stamos boner, is not an awkward boner.

P.P.S Thanks TNUC.
