Just went to a Girl Talk show

[deadguy]

And MAN it was tons of fun. Seattle people were all dancing - dancing! I hadn't seen everyone grooving like that since The Go! Team came around.

He didn't just play tracks from the CD, he tore it apart and remixed it different ways, with different tracks, plenty of new stuff but tons of recognizable snips of music... ah it was good.

Some of the memorable parts were:

Pieces from Daft Punk tracks (three different ones! Technologic, Digital Love, Around the World)
Queen - We will rock you
Nirvana - Lithium
Depeche Mode - Enjoy the silence
Ace of Base - The sign
LCD Soundsystem/Elton John/Neutral Milk Hotel (from Night Ripper)
Some Michael Jackson track I couldn't remember the name of

And a whole cr*pload of fun stuff I couldn't even tell what they were but sounded great. He finished with another Nirvana track after asking if we wanted a dance track or a depressing track to finish, to which he said 'ah f$ck it I'll just play both'.

The dude was grooving all through, he stage dove, he invited people to join him on stage -- there were around 20 random people dancing with him and it was just a big party. Security went up there but they left the first people that had made it, so it was all goodness.

Definitely go check him out in Coachella if you're into electro/dance.

Anybody else remember more tracks from the show?

Las Vegas (regardless of feelings toward Girl Talk) should spotaneously errupt into unsurvivable flames... probably the most worthless city on the planet.

Don't worry. They'll run out of water soon.

Why would he get sued?

[hawkingvsreeve]

Copyright infringement.

[JustSteve]

i believe that if you use less than 10 seconds of a song then you are alright, and a little over is not the biggest deal in the world.

[mob roulette]

girl talk is a subsidiary of viacom. they already own everything anyway.

Does this apply to live performances? Are there RIAA lawyers at all these shows with stop watches?

[amyzzz]

Is Girl Talk a DJ? I'm confused about why copyright infringement would matter if he's a DJ....

[jackstraw94086]

You can generally play anything you want at a live show. It's only when you record it and try to sell it that you get into trouble.

so how's he getting away with it then?

not baiting you, just curious as to your opinion on this. no way all that stuff is cleared. no way. a standard girl talk "track" contains "elements" of at least fifty songs. at least the ones i've heard.

[J~$$$]

I dont think Night Ripper was for sale....It was a free dl. I think, cuz I sure as hell did not pay for it....



EDIT: $11.99 on Amazon. WHA!?

[jackstraw94086]

It definitely was for sale. I remember this being mentioned on tribe a while back. In fact, the CD pressing was late and GT offered a discount to download it. This was about a year ago I think, because i specifically remember knowing about this well before Bassnectar put a snippet of a GT track in his BBC mix last May.

[amyzzz]

Ok, I get it now. I didn't know he had CD's of this stuff.

I have no idea what the legalities of that album are. It would seem he'd have to have some sort of legal clearance. Still though I can't imagine how he could pay for that.

I'd be curious to hear about how he pulled off being able to sell that album from anyone who knows the specific details.

and btw, why the fuck aren't you baiting me? try harder
(actually, I couldn't give a shit. i only appear take interest in the other thread because of that douche)

[jackstraw94086]

found it.

Here is the post where I first learned about girl talk
http://tribes.tribe.net/glitchhop/th...5-0248758fbb31

and this was the site where it was being first sold
http://illegalart.net/girltalk/

[J~$$$]

hahahahah thats the site that is selling "girl talk is not a dj shirt."

Is that his labels site?

[J~$$$]

I see a loot of blogs touting that Leigon of Doom mash-up sold on that site but it is emo screamo and punk mashups, its not really my speed.

[jackstraw94086]

quit being pretentious, yo.

[el pescado]

Youi have to pay ascap or bmi charges to release others music in your mixes if they are sold in any format.Just ask the Verve.
