Let’s say you hate Girl Talk. I don’t necessarily agree with you, but I understand you. For lots of folks, his hyperactive brand of pop megamix is the thing aural nightmares are made of. But I have three excellent reasons why you should definitely go to a Girl Talk show in the next few months.
• Reason #1: Bouncy bedroom electro king Max Tundra is opening.
• Reason #2: Max Tundra is awesome, particularly live, as he becomes a spazzy, unpredictable being of pure charm.
• Reason #3: Max Tundra doesn’t tour North America that often, so seeing him is akin to seeing a way more fun Bigfoot or Nessie.
Basically, if you love Girl Talk and Max Tundra, great, you just won the lottery. If you hate Girl Talk and love Max Tundra, well, you can leave after Max Tundra and still feel like you got your money’s worth. If you love Girl Talk and hate Max Tundra, you are making me cry a little bit right now.
