A snapshot of what was going through my mind when I clicked “publish”
No, this post is not going to have anything to do with girls. Rather, it’s about Gregg Gillis a.k.a. Girl Talk. His latest album, Feed The Animals, is a sampling assault. Each song jumps from sample to sample at an amazingly frantic rate; it’s been on my iPod for weeks now and I can’t get enough. It’s music for people with ADD (if you like it, I recommend Arthur King’s Pop Sh!t).
The challenge with his music - and any sample-based music in general - is trying to explain it to anyone who’s never heard anything like it. Fortunately, the good folks at Wired magazine are up for the challenge. Check out this visualization of one of his tracks; you can find it in the latest issue (16.09):
I'm fascinated by what happens at the margin of everyday life. That's the sort of stuff that tends to written about here. Expect some speculation, snippets of my life and the odd incoherent rant. Does the Internet get any better than this?
