New Beck is greater than Girl Talk for the simple reason that Beck actually made all the shit on his album. Girl Talk is one step above me in my parents’ cupboard banging on pots in 1980. But I admit those 1980 pots got shafted by David Byrne, who banged on said pots in 1982’s Pot-Banging-Fuck-Explosion, but I’ll give him a pass since he was like 900 million-years-old at the time. (Ha! Take that, old dude who actually deserves my respect!)

So I guess you don’t like Negativland either.

well yer Girl Talk hatred prolly also has to the do with the fact that you aren’t exactly one to get down. for me the joy of it (and The Avalanches, and a lot of disco) is how much it makes you wanna mooooooove

Melissa – If I wanna move, I’ll get Parkinson’s.

Blake – Then I am a dumbass with a gaping pop culture void that can only be filled with the salty log of knowledge.
JP – Glad to know you’re still reading this! You also share initials with a very nice Boston neighborhood.

Yeah JP! My fave neighborhood.
Also, I don’t mind Girl Talk. They do make you want to dance.
