Me and my friends would drive for eight hours to play for twenty people. That was cool, and if a couple of people bought t-shirts, that would be the greatest thing. We could go eat some hamburgers that night.

The goal of the work is always for it to come across as original material, as transformative material.
Girl Talk
Image
I'd been to a lot of shows and I was just tired of people being jaded about music in general. Just a lot of pretensions, a lot of the attitude that goes along with it was a little difficult for me to deal with.
Girl Talk
Image
I always like the people who keep moving forward, but kind of stay in their own lane.
Girl Talk
Image
When I would play pop music at underground shows, it was offensive to some people. I wasn't doing it to piss people off: I just didn't believe in those strong divisions that you're supposed to listen to this or that.

It's weird for me when someone asks me to do a remix as Girl Talk and not use samples.
Girl Talk

When people come to my shows they know there is a distinct beginning and end. It's difficult for me to play for much more than an hour, so people kind of come out and treat it like a rock show. They're fiending and ready to dance.

I use minimal software to make my music - a wav editor and a calculator for my beats to make sure everything falls on mathematical precision. If you were just mapping this out visually, it works by math. I guess it's slightly engineering influenced.

My start came with experimental musicians and live bands. I never played with DJ's because it wasn't really the correct fit. It fit in more with someone using a laptop to create their own electronic music. When you're doing music like that, it's hard to get more than 20 people to come to your show.

Sometimes the show needs that kick in the ass so being able to sing a Nirvana song kind of takes it there. I've grown up putting on extravagant shows with Girl Talk so when I'm playing I like to go nuts. After 30 minutes of pointing and clicking it's nice to scream into a microphone for three minutes.

I love getting out there and traveling and doing shows and all of that. But when I can be home, it's a special time.

I can't edit live as meticulously as I can for an album.

It's easy to hate on things that are close to your world that aren't exactly what you're doing.

In the past, hearing music had more value.

I think it's an interesting thing to have to produce an album that you'll want to listen to for 50 minutes.

I wasn't trying to make a following. I was just trying to make interesting music. That's not being modest, that's just being realistic.

People see me on stage and sometimes they think, Who's this hotdog thinking that he's the best. They miss the point that what I'm doing now comes from a whole different world of doing it for no one with nobody caring.

I like to use recognizable songs, but other than that, this song would be perfect.

It's hard to play a laptop in the midst of band and have people want to buy your t-shirts and CD's.

I have my small little cult following, I play random shows from house parties to opening up for rock bands.
