What’s my palette?
Do you ever find yourself buying a lot of things in a particular color or motif, developing a palette or theme practically unbeknownst to you? Yeah. I do that. Check it. My Philly purchases:
And just so I’m not hogging it all to myself, here’s an MP3 for you.
From Girl Talk, here’s “Here’s the Thing” off of his album Feed the Animals. The DJ behind Girl Talk is from Pittsburgh, not Philly, but I’m just posting it because I like it.
There’s a moment (at 1:15) where he successfully mashes up Nine Inch Nails with Kelly Clarkson. I heart it. Because, otherwise, I can’t stomach anyone from American Idol. It’s full of other clever moments of mash-up delight. Later on, you will hear Rick Springfield’s “Jessie’s Girl” playing alongside the Prodigy’s “Firestarter.”
Ladies and gentlemen, it works.
If you enjoy this, go buy the album entire (it’s a pay-what-you-want set up, a la Radiohead).
