Unbelievable. Thats the best word to describe Girl Talk's set. From the opening beat to the ending comprised of pure noise, the dancing was non-stop. The crowd turned into one hot and sweaty mass of dancing and jumping with the amazing DJing that came out of that skinny white boy.

I couldn't believe my ears with some of the samples and music he mixed up. Just like his impeccable album, Night Ripper, Girl Talk manages to kick it up a notch live, and to perfection. With everything from Busta Rhymes, Nine Inch Nails, Elton John, Smashing Pumpkins, The Jackson Five and more, all mixed together in one brilliant two-hour electronic symphony. And throwing "No Diggity" into the mix? Badass.

At any rate, if you get a chance to go see this guy, take it. For the price, its the best dance party you'll ever go to.

I'm a huge Nine Inch Nails fan, so it's really awesome getting to hear current member's and former member's side projects. I'm particularly impressed with Modwheelmood. They remind me of an amalgamation of several bands I like, all wrapped into one. And pretty much every single song of theirs has an incredibly melody or bridge that wows me every time.

And it's good to hear Claudia Sarne (of 12 Rounds) doing music with Jerome Dillon, it makes for a very interesting combination.

So if you're on the fence about either group, go ahead and give yourself a quick taste-test. Modwheelmood is a little lighter on the soul, while nearLY is a tad more dark.

Enjoy!]]>
