Touching the table can be a difficult and dangerous task, but it means you're usually ready to complete the transition from mainstream>alt(bag) that Hipster Runoff talks about. Sometimes other fans can accidentally end up grabbing the front of your shirt, because their neon sunglasses were really fogged and they thought the front of your shirt was the table. For Bmore residents this process isn't quite as important as, say, touching Dan Deacon's sweaty Flintstones tee but it's pretty close, especially if you can get on your knees in front of the table so your face is like right next it.
Girl Talk - Don't Stop

Yesterday Girl Talk's Greg Gillis told us about his action plan for bringing some cold, hard, legal justice to the punks posting unauthorized Girl Talk mashup videos on YouTube and other sites. He's understandably concerned that this "illegal art" is a blatant violation of his copyrighted work and has a well-shaven legal team ready to go Lars on their asses.
Well played, Greg. We fully support you on this one and believe the case should help define copyright laws, fair use and creative commons in the online era.

When Girl Talk fans who downloaded Feed the Animals for free make unauthorized mashup videos of Girl Talk mashups, what happens? Is that like when Diet Sundrop tried to sue Sundrop for taste infringement?
Girl Talk - Don't Stop (Mashing)
Is the Trey Told 'Em team playing on Sunday like a hip hop version of Garfield minus Garfield, where Girl Talk = Garfield? Because that just sounds like a ripoff of The Nietzsche Family Circus.
Did the term "mashups" come from that Beatsie Boys sample where the guy said he was going to stick his Gillis in the starch?
Mantan Moreland - Mashed Potatoes Comedy Routine (maybe FF to around 2:10)
Either way, this weekend is that kind of party with an implosion of 70+ artists creating anything but familiar laptop derivates. Not even counting the inaugural incarnation of indie Voltron glob Who is the Tunafish Man? (Dan Deacon + Spank Rock + Girl Talk), expect to see some unexpected collabs and spontaneous freaking in the aisles. Word is there will even be a couple Bmore elementary school janitors on site Sunday night for when things get sick, they got that special sawdust.

Master of the Bmore indie electro universe Dan Deacon established a temporary Castle Greenskull at St. John's Church Tuesday night with White Williams and Girl Talk.
Someone stole Dan's glasses and later gave them back. White Williams did not have glasses so we gave him some. He also had two guitarists playing along with drum machines, a laptop, an array of vocal effects and a synthesizer. Girl Talk almost made us feel bad about being in church in the dark next to sweaty tenderonis and a giant inflatable spider.
Two samples from Williams' debut Smoke which drops Nov. 6 via Tigerbeat6:
White Williams - Headlights (via Crackers United)
White Williams - New Violence
This show was all ages!
