As a DJ, you naturally attract certain things into your life. One of them is Vinyl. Right now I gotta say thanks to my boy Anthony Jackson for the hook-up from Jive Records.
Another thing you attract is constant concert talk. As people are coming into town, you constantly get asked if you are going to the latest show or know anything about it. To my peril, I keep getting asked about Girl Talk. Who is girl talk? If you don’t know, check out his wikipedia entry HERE.
Girl Talk has become famous for his insane mashups. In a single track, he is known to sample up to 30 different artists. No artist typically plays for more than 8 seconds or so. I’ve you’ve heard his work, you know it’s absolutely genius. What’s even better, is that when he “performs” in concert, he does nothing more than play his mash-ups right off of his notebook computer. Amazing.
So why is it so perilous that I keep hearing about Girl Talk? Because he is playing for FREE this Saturday right here on UNM’s Campus. Why is this bad? Because I will be playing all day for FREE at the Grand Opening of the new Express store in Cottonwood mall. Oh well. Pitty, pitty me.
This new club banger comes to us from Justin, Madonna and Timbaland. I couldn’t like it more. I absolutely can not believe how Timbaland has been unable to put out nonstop hits since “Sexyback.” The video version has a different intro and outro than the radio single, and I prefer to play the video version in the club. Great track.
I read this in a recent article that interviewed Timbaland.
”It’s killing me. The ringtone rap is not fading away. “A Bay Bay,” none of it’s fading away. If you ask me, it’s getting stronger… Nowadays,I think the way hip-hop is going, rappers don’t know nothing. They so simplistic, they’re like a jack-in-the-box. They just put an 808 behind it and then they got a song.”
