Girl Talk @ Princeton

Wow! Something I never would have expected happened last Saturday.

For the past couple of months I've been rocking Girl Talk's latest effort Night Ripper pretty hard. For the uninitiated Girl Talk (aka Gregg Gillis - a biomedical engineer from Pittsburg), is a DJ who takes euphoric moments of already well known songs (e.g. from Notorious B.I.G., Elton John, 50 cent, the Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, Ludacris, Fleetwood Mac, Weezer, Nirvana, just to name a few) and mashes them up into 1 awesome track of ultimate party.

Well, then I heard he was coming to my very own Terrace club here at Princeton! What a crazy show! It was packed beyond belief, making it uncomfortable at times, but that only added to the energy.

Highlights:
-Kicking things off with "Throw Some D's" on that Bitch!!!
-Justin Timberlake "My Love" matched with the bassline from Nirvana's "Lithium"
-Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down" with some booty rap song about getting pussy
-Flute solo from Toto's "Africa"
-Chugging a pitcher of beer before the entire audience:


I highly recommend you check this guy out. Night Ripper is hand's down the best party soundtrack I've ever heard. One of my favorite Girl Talk tracks (though not on the album) is this one:



It mashes Clipse's "Wamp Wamp (What it do)" with Grizzly Bear's "The Knife. " So freakin awesome! Grizzly Bear's Yellow House, which featured "The Knife" was one of my favorite albums of last year (#2!). And, mostly because of this Girl Talk song, I recently got into Clipse's Hell Hath No Fury, which has been getting a lot of critical attention lately . They are amazing! One of the best hip-hop groups out there for sure.
