Eight reasons the July 15 Twilight Concert at Pioneer Park should be more manageable than the overcrowded opener with Modest Mouse:
8. Headliner Girl Talk isn’t even a real band, just some hipster with laptop. If a crush and/or deaths occur over that, it’s natural selection.
7. The chain-link fences will be electrified—by green power, as per Mayor Ralph Becker.
6. Headliner Girl Talk is only three steps above a wedding DJ. Utah weddings typically have better crowd control than concerts.
5. Police will be enforcing a no-fixed-gear-bikes policy for eight square blocks.
4. Headliner Girl Talk involves no actual musicians. Has that been mentioned?
3. Ted Dancin’ also plays Thursday night, at The Urban Lounge. Same show.
2. Beer will be sold out of Porta-Pottys, eliminating lines.
1. Headliner Girl Talk is getting paid thousands in tax dollars to play other people’s songs. This will bring out all 18 members of the SLC Tea Party.

Hey, is that that Deena Marie chick doing a video list of things you should never do in a porta-potty in Pioneer Park?
Not to mention Minus the Bear will be playing the same night. And they play their own music!
haha I've been saying that since the lineup was "announced" - nicely put!
after last week's shenanigans, you won't catch me down there again!
Yeah, Girl Talk is one guy playing other people's music, but the breadth of his selections, and the way he mixes them up, is quite impressive. I'm hoping his lack of broad-based scenester cred keeps the d-bag quotient much lower this week.
