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.

SLC-ZAP knows exactly what it is doing. Under prepare for one name band. Get lots of publicity. Have no-name no-fame groups scheduled for all the follow-up Thursdays. This is a vendor show not a legitimate concert. The venue and the bands/groups stink. This is what it takes to sell over priced small portions of questionably prepared foods to cheep Utahns.
The funny thing is, Girl Talk has more talent than 80% of the artists he plays. He takes all the best parts of all the songs you love, and combines them. He breaks the genre barrier in every song he makes. What other artist does that? And Minus the Bear? Are you serious? Go listen to Smash Your Head, and get your head out of your ass.
THANK YOU! COULDN'T SAY IT BETTER MYSELF!
Best. Ocho. Ever.
Love the no fixed gear bikes part :)
