So my Aussie pal Rowan turned me on to Pittsburgh’s Girl Talk (aka Greg Gillis).  He somehow figured that my various taste in music would eventually gravitate toward this undeniable ADHD’s mash-up dream. And, well, he was right.

He quickly unloaded Girl Talk’s latest release, Feed the Animals. I was very impressed. With a frenzied pace, a gang of change-ups, ’80s pop selections and seemless transitions, the compilation was jam packed and jammin! Needless to say, it’s in heavy rotation here at work (especially on deadline)!

Next month, Scion is bringing Girl Talk to Houston’s Warehouse Live. I don’t know what to expect from him live, but I’m sure Girl Talk will satisfy almost any musical palate.

RSVP now at ScionEvents.com to see the show for FREE.

After a wild weekend at Boondocks and a new school year resumed, the Scion BEAT Tour continued on at Houston’s Warehouse Live. On TUE, August 26, locals flowed in to see the likes of Fashen, The Knux, Klever and our opening 2×4 set. I took Witnes’ spot and got it goin’ early, with Dayta and Squincy Jones jumping in about an hour later. I met up with Fashen chillin backstage as Big Sky Media’s Adam Bauer and Shan paced the halls preparing for the upcoming acts.

Meanwhile, The Knux were entertaining a couple of local ladies and enjoying a cigarette or two—to calm the nerves no doubt. On stage, Fashen wrapped up his assorted set and Squincy stepped up to play beats for The Knux. The NOLA natives came out to perform “Capuccino” and other songs with style and energy. They swayed the crowd along and even ribbed Squincy about his Humble (Texas, that is) roots. (It’s all good, Squince—just own it!)

And finally, a waxen Klever, in his spotless whitewashed jeans nonetheless, put down an impeccable and vibrant set. Big shouts go out to G.Wizz, DIRB’s Antonio, El Roy Boogie, Leo, Gwen & Julie, cMo & Oahn, Nonsense, Cashless, Shina Rae, Reko Trill, reps from HoustonsMostHated.com, Hater Magazine and H-town folks for making it out that night.
