What's on these times

Thursday, mashup star Girl Talk gig was totally insane at The Zoo, Brisbane. I not particularly a huge fan (listening to his albums bores me, to be honest), but watching him doing his sampling and mashing stuff live was fucking sick. First parts weren't unforgetable.

From The Zoo site:
"From Pittsburgh, USA, Girl Talk is a true musical phenomenon of the digital era. In the spirit of illegal art pioneers, 2Many DJ's and Dangermouse, Girl Talk took the 'mash up' aesthetic to a new level of madness. After his thrilling performance at Meredith Music Festival last year, it's no wonder every festival in the country wanted him this summer.
Gregg’s breakthrough record of last year 'Night Ripper' contained 16 individual 'songs' that used over 200 samples, sitting Elton next to Lil Jon, the O.C theme song blended with classic punk. 'Night Ripper' quickly became the soundtrack to summer. The Girl Talk live show is an over the top affair. He quickly shatters notions of the dull laptop artist, with pounding beats, Top 40 samples, wild dance moves and a mob of party people crowding around the stage."

Here are a few pleasant studio tunes from the Night Ripper album.

Also, if you are from Brisbane, you might have missed (has I bloody did) People Under The Stairs, yesterday at The Uber, a nice West End night club.
By the way, in the same club, if you're a hip hop dood, don't miss the great Dr Octagon (best known as Kool Keith). It's on the 19th.
