Girl Talk and Beirut quick thoughts

If you get the chance to see Girl Talk, go EARLY. I arrived 10 minutes late for the man, who is known as Gregg Gillis, at the Sahara Tent and the place was packed with so many people it spilled outside.

Gillis, who uses samples to create new pieces of music, mixed together Notorious B.I.G.'s "Juicy," Ludacris' "Move B****".and a bunch of other pieces I am having trouble immediately remembering as I tried to listen in to him and Beirut at the same time.

Beirut, whose mix of horns and acoustic sounds is incredible, were in the Mojave tent which was located next to Girl Talk.

During Beirut's set, the bass from Girl Talk's opening number overflowed into their tent which is one of the negatives sometimes about the tents.
