Never mind the title. Last weekend me and my best'est friends hit up Bootie for gay pride weekend. Bootie is San Francisco's bi-monthly mashup bootleg party. Sometimes I think mash-up music is a bastardized musical art form devoid of any real substance. (Isn't that what they said about Rap music 20 or so years ago?) Well, This is maybe the most fun club I've gone to consistently. Anyhoot, everytime I leave place I get that mash up kick. Cool thing about this genre, is that the music is easily accessible for free from the web (the medium that basically facilitates its life).

Well, that's just back story. So a while back I checked out this free documentary online Good Copy, Bad Copy, concerning the use and unexplored potential of a restriction free world wide web. Like eliminate all the bureaucracy with policing the web and RiAA head hunters, supposedly it'll open the doors for the creative minds out there to explore all ends of the earth. Well digitally at least.

I digress again. This post is about Girl Talk. They interviewed this cat in the movie. Dude seems like the mash-up king of all time. Where they last left of with this kid in the movie he was exploring the drum breaks used in the Techno Brega movement in Brasil. I meant to check for his stuff but never got around to it.



Fast forward to now, I was reading this month's Rolling Stone (with barak Obama on the cover), and here's this fucker's new record in the reviews section.(!!) A bootlegger gone legit? Either way, I copped...and listened. Dude is mashing and mixing at 100 miles an hour. Fun stuff.

This one's for my bootie compadres, they'd enjoy it.
