For the past couple of years, I've been listening to a DJ mash-up artist named Gilbert Gillis or more popularly known as Girl Talk. I first heard of him when he was in relative obscurity, a sampling DJ fighting the RIAA for rights to his newly conglomerated mixes. As far as I understand, he takes free samples of songs given online and loops them to help form mixes that have you dancing all night long. He's famous for some unlikely mixes, such as Radiohead's "Reckoner" with Warren G's "regulators". I can now say, after going to his concert Monday, that I agree with him - even though I heard lyrics to Arcade Fire, in no way was I ever actually listening to Arcade Fire.
Here are some pictures of the bright lights flashing, bass thumping good time. The people next to us were doing cocaine, but I thought it was overkill - the concert itself was all the high I needed.
Yes, that's confetti in my hair and I'm wearing glow-in-the-dark sunglasses
He really wanted the ball full of confetti...
Arcade Fire vs. The Black Eyed Peas
Definitely a good time. Definitely recommend it.
Peace,
