That's at least $120,000 through the door alone on one weekend. Expect it to stay dull for awhile. ;)
I remember as a kid talking to someone on napster, they were all 'yeah Girl Talk is a true Dada artist, you know Kid 606's Straight Outta Compton remix? Girl Talk cut that up and re-assembled it back into the original, have a listen'

'but.....almost everything Kid 606 did to that song is physically impossible to undo, what you have here, is NWA's Straight Outta Compton, with a wind-up merchant's name on it.'

'no no no no, it's it's it's it's it's....Dada! Girl Talk is genius!'

'No....do I have to sit and explain the concept of sound to you?'

And so it went on. That's the first time i've heard the name Girl Talk since then, haha.
