BeatCrave Fave: Girl Talk

Girl Talk has created quite the buzz this year. Greg Gillis, the sole genius behind the most infamously incredible mash-up artist this year (if not ever) has been selling out shows across the country.  While his music may be questionably legal, there is no question that his live shows are nothing less than spectacular (read the BeatCrave Review).  With the release of Feed the Animals, Girl Talk has also been creating quite a stir in music critic circles: even Stephen King placed Girl Talk’s album in the number 4 spot of his Top Ten Albums of the Year (why Stephen King is writing about music I don’t know but, with this selection he’s proving to have great taste (read it)).  With the uncanny ability to take a song on one end of the spectrum and layer it with a song on the complete opposite end and turn into an amazingly enjoyable moment of noise, Girl Talk proves that there is more than one way to create original music and, for that reason amongst many others, deserves a place in this week’s BeatCreave Fave.

If you love Girl Talk as much as we do, vote for him on Friday as the BeatCrave Fave pick of the week.
