chbp artist to check out: girl talk

I have a lot of respect for Girl Talk. Although I'm not nearly as avid about the über ADD mashups as I used to be, I still remember being blown away the first time I listened to Night Ripper back on a rainy day junior year. It was wild to hear such a combination of songs chopped into one giant mixtape. I saw him at Coachella two years ago, and it was quite the party. His live shows are an experience, to say the least. Thus, I recommend checking him out on friday.

I'll admit it: I've still not listened to Feed The Animals in its entirety. As I said, I'm over mashups. I'm not saying it's bad, I just don't care. And, I know that live he'll be awesome so it's not like I hate him now that he's increasingly entering the frat boy lexicon (although that is a little disheartening). So for a track, I'm choosing to put my all time favorite "Smash Your Head." I couldn't believe this when I heard it. I'd recently been getting heavily into Ready to Die and the idea of putting Biggie over Elton John was something of a stroke-of-genius. 

See Girl Talk Friday @ 7:45 on the main stage
