version3.0

It is fair to say that November got a little out of hand. Between getting stuck in at &some & version3.0 taking a week long unplanned (& extremely frustrating) outage I completely neglected the November mix of the month. Never the less, we have got there eventually.

It seems fitting that a month into which I crammed so much stuff I made Girl Talk’s brand new mashup opus the mix of the month. All Day, Girl Talk’s follow up to the extremely popular ‘Feed the Animals’ that saw him become the party DJ du jour, was released mid-November and has been getting a tonne of play. You have probably heard, or at least are aware of Girl Talk’s sound by now. It isn’t subtle. It tends to divide people. Provided you don’t take it too seriously there isn’t too much here to get upset about. I find it is hard not to smile at the audacity of some of his combination’s.

Whatever you think about Girl Talk, this mix is a definite crowd pleaser. Those who don’t enjoy it probably don’t enjoy much.

Girl Talk – All Day

There isn’t much point in posting a tracklist (despite the fact there is a version that splits it into 12 distinct tracks), with the whole album clocking in at 373 different samples. Just run the whole thing, it is worth it.

Right click and stick this in your computer.

If you are interested, you can see the full list of samples over on Illegal Art, or check out the excellent All Day Samples which breaks each track down by the samples that make it up in real time.

If you have a chance you should also check out the excellent RIP: A remix manifesto which takes a critical look at copyright, using Girl Talk as the subject matter.

This is a bumper edition of the guide to the Interneat to celebrate version 3.0 being resuscitated. Enjoy!

• I am loving some of the gems that Letters of Note uncovers. The presidents address that would have been delivered by Richard Nixon in the event of the Apollo 11 mission being a disaster is fascinating (as is some of the discussion about the note itself).
• Wicked little spot for Smart from those clever clogs at Buck. Love the style of this one.
  
• The work of illustrator Ryan Snook is fantastic. I am particularly digging this ‘whale driver’.
  
• Scottish trials mega freak Danny MacAskill has a new short flick, Way Back Home, shot beautifully in his home country. Danny does stuff that almost no one else in the world can on a bike. Red Bull sure know how to do sponsorship and branded content right.
  
• Forget Avatar. The best use of 3D so far: 3DD - a book of three dimensional boobs. Probably not safe for work if your boss doesn’t like boobs. It’s art, ok.
• An exhibition of incredible wallpaper that is made up of three different patterns in red, yellow & blue from Carnovsky. You can view the patterns individually by viewing through a filter.

• Mattias Adolfsson has some of the most fantastic sketchbooks that I have ever seen. There is an incredible amount of detail & imagination in his sketches.

• All round smart/creative/talented dude Evan Roth has created the Public Domain Donor system. Donate your ideas to the public domain on your death so that they may live on. Just print one out and stick it on your license.
  
• My favourite infographic designer Nicholas Feltron whipped up this awesome caffeine monitor dashboard for the Build Conference.
• The Underbelly project is an exhibition of street art from 103 artists that was 18 months in the making. Even more interestingly it was held in an abandoned part of the New York underground transport network. Would love to check it out for myself.

• Brush & Spoke is a sweet blog dedicated to cycle related art. It can be a bit hipster tattoo & fixie fixated, but some really beautiful stuff in there.
• I have a soft spot for stupid puns. The Narc-whal (from Iain Burke) hits that soft spot with a giant bat.

• Floating DJ desk made from Lego. I want one.
  
• Aussie sampling wiz kid Pogo has whipped up a couple of new tunes with accompanying videos. Crimson, which samples Dexter, is my favourite.

• I have a new favourite stupid thing on the Internet: CAPTCHArt. Terribly drawn comments incorporating the all pervasive CAPTCHA phrases that everyone knows & loves.

Apologies for the technical difficulties that I have been experiencing over the past week or so. Unfortunately the outage coincided with me taking the piss out of the Angry Narwhal. I got my comeuppance.

Normal service shall now resume.
