Girl Talk: "Let's move together"

Sorry, your browser doesn't support the embedding of multimedia.
Girl Talk is a DJ/Mashup Artist from Pittsburgh who mixes A LOT of songs to make crazy tracks. I saw him last night at FunFunFun Fest here in Austin (and I saw him last Spring at SXSW). Last night, he kept saying "Let's move together." It seemed like his goal was to build an organism that bounced, waved, and grooved together. He was looking to compose both a track and a scene. He succeeded. There was a mob of people up on stage with him. It was pretty fucking awesome, and I took a clip of it with my phone (you can kind of see him...he's the white orb at the center bouncing up and down).

If you're not familiar with his work, check out his "Night Ripper" album. My favorite track - "Minute By Minute" - mixes the following songs:

* 0:10 (13:15) Ying Yang Twins ft. Mike Jones and Mr. Collipark - "Badd"
* 0:28 (13:33) LL Cool J - "Around the Way Girl"
* 0:44 (13:49) Michael McDonald - "I Keep Forgettin" / Warren G ft. Nate Dogg - "Regulate"
* 0:56 (14:01) Missy Elliott - "On & On"
* 1:04 (14:09) Neutral Milk Hotel - "Holland, 1945"
* 1:14 (14:19) Jefferson Airplane - "White Rabbit"
* 1:14 (14:19) Juelz Santana - "There It Go (The Whistle Song)"
* 1:32 (14:37) Steely Dan - "Black Cow" / Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz - "Déjà Vu (Uptown Baby)"
* 2:06 (15:11) Bruce Hornsby - "The Way It Is"
* 2:11 (15:16) Sophie B. Hawkins - "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover"
* 2:18 (15:23) Panjabi MC - "Mundian To Bach Ke"
* 2:27 (15:32) The Game, 50 Cent - "Hate It or Love It"
* 2:45 (15:50) Better Than Ezra - "Good"
* 2:47 (15:52) Pixies - "Debaser"
