What is a mash up? It is two or more songs mixed together to create a special new song. Each week, Easy Mark hosts lots of audio mash ups for your listening pleasure. Click here to listen to Afternoon Slacken on your computer now.
The Crossover Segment is an Afternoon Slacken inclusive feature which highlights another WPVM show-host. This week, get to know Stephen, of Stunt Cypher Mayhem (on Fridays from 2-4 PM).
Also this week, Easy Mark interviews internationally renown audio artist, Gregg Gillis of Girl Talk. He plays sold-out shows all over the world and appears this week at Asheville’s own Orange Peel.
Girl Talk mixes pop, hip hop, soft rock, party classics, grunge, R&B, bootie-shakers, and rock anthems together to please both dance-crazed masses and mash up connoisseurs. Mark Hosler of Negativland has declared Girl Talk’s latest album, Night Ripper, “a plunderphonics party record.”
And last but not least, a musically remixed commentary from Mumia Abu Jamal. Fascism anyone?
