Tuesday Afternoon Diversion: The Cee-Lo Redemption

The internet has been collectively peeing its pants over the greatness that is the new Cee-Lo jam "Fuck You." And why not? It's pretty damn awesome. And now it's getting the mash-up treatment. The one featured below is our favorite by far. [via] more ›

DOWNLOAD: The Kleptones

DOWNLOAD: The Kleptones

The Kleptones' 2006 release 24 Hours was on our list of favorite albums from that year, so we've been waiting quite a while for it's follow up to arrive. The DJ collective, primarily fronted by Eric Kleptone, operates within the framework of mash-ups but unlike many other mash-up DJs they don't tweak the tunes for novelty's sake. Instead they truly re-contextualize the source material and rework it to create sweeping mood pieces and sometimes, as on 24, actual narratives. more ›

DOWNLOAD: The Hood Internet

DOWNLOAD: The Hood Internet

The Hood Internet -- the DJ duo of STV SLV and ABX -- has come a long way since they first started to drop their inde / hip-hop mash-ups, and even further since they played their first live show at an event put together by a certain local website. (O.K., we admit it, we're a little proud of the fact that we were on-board with the boys back before they started their jet-set lifestyle and became a household name in the music blogosphere. Sue us.) more ›

Friday Afternoon Diversion II: Obligatory Obama/Wilson Mash-Up

A mash-up of Rep. Wilson's "YOU LIE!" moment during President Obama's speech was bound to happen. At least it was as awesome as this. It's all we could ask for on a Friday afternoon. [via] more ›

Friday Afternoon Diversion: Clash of the Internet Memes

Earlier this week, we brought you the awesome The Mai Shi remix of actor Christian Bale's recent on-set tantrum. Also making the rounds on YouTube lately has been the famed "David After Dentist" video of a kid totally blasted out of his mind on nitrous after a rousing visit to the...well...dentist. In the age of mash-ups, it was only a matter of time before the two became one. As it was written, so let it be done. Warning: language very NSFW, so use the earphones in the office. more ›

Thanksgiving Eve Diversion

Things are getting punchy here at the Chicagoist office as I keep the staff chained to their desks, churning out posts before I turn them loose for the holidays. Much like some of you, I'm sure. So we can turn to one of the things we're thankful for, the wily interwebs, which provide us with so much entertainment. Like this video which mixes Lil John with the Nickelodeon show LazyTown. Though we must warn you, since it's Lil John, the language is definitely NSFW so if you're still at the office, use the headphones. For added entertainment, be sure to check out the comments section. more ›

Interview: Girl Talk

Interview: Girl Talk

Radiohead Shmaediohead. If there’s one act we’re pumped to see at Lollapalooza this year, it’s the sweatfest dance party stylings of Pittsburgh mash-up artist Gregg “Girl Talk” Gillis. Riding high on the recent release of Feed the Animals, Girl Talk takes the stage in Grant Park on Sunday for a live sample-based set certain to spark a raucous party and rip the festival a new one. Unlike the Debbie Downers crying copyright lawsuit, we see a bright future for this mash-up maven, who has single-handedly elevated our standards of what it means to have a good time at a show. In anticipation of the Lolla madness, we rapped a little with Gillis over email to get some insight into what it’s like to be the ringmaster at the center of the Girl Talk circus. more ›

Free Music: Girl Talk Feeds The Animals

Free Music: Girl Talk Feeds The Animals

How appropriate, the day that Chicago's supreme mash-up duo has a record release party is the same day Gregg Gillis decided to drop the new Girl Talk album, Feed The Animals. For free. (Or pay what you can.) It's largely the same set of tunes he used to whip the crowd into a frenzy at last year's Pitchfork Music Festival, so there are no real surprises, but it is a supremely solid piece of work. Our personal favorite "what the heck?!" sample moment occurs early on when Aphex Twin pops up in "Shut The Club Down." more ›
