If you head over to Girl Talk's label Illegal Art's Web site a world a magic and wonderment awaits. Not really, but you do have the option of downloading Girl Talk's new album Feed The Animals for (que the magic word) FREE. There is a catch.
You see, Girl Talk aka former biochemical engineer Gregg Gillis seemed to have liked all the attention Radiohead got for In Rainbows' "pay-what-you-like" phenomenom ...so much that Gilis is doing the same with "Feed the Animals.

Given that Girl Talk always leaves the stage during his sets the best place to be was on the stage. I got some cool footage of him buried in the crowd. More here.

Only the great Greg Gillis aka Girl Talk would even think to mash up James Taylor, the Pixies, Weezer and about 15 other samples into one track...and it works swimmingly!
I was just on his website, and this guy gets cooler every day in my book. He only plays weekend gigs because he has a day job as some sort of engineer. And he is playing a high school prom next month in San Fransisco...like the week before Coachella!! I love this man...

How could you not love the Notorious BIG rhyming over Elton John's 'Tiny Dancer? Greg Gillis is my hero...I love the guy so much because he is first and foremost a music freak...as you can tell by listening.

you've probably read about it on music review sites like pitchfork or stylus. and if you're like me your first reaction was probably utter cynicism -- albums receiving this much hype rarely live up to the talk. but when i heard that gregg had incorporated more than a hundred samples into this ADHD mega-mix (talk about abuse of the fair use clause!), i decided it was worth a listen. lauded by illegal art (gregg's label. ironic, eh?) as an album geared to "please both danc...

Now, don't get me wrong. I try hard to uphold a super cool avant garde freak folk vibe most of the time, but you know, we all gotta get down! once in a while. This kid Girl Talk (aka Gregg Gillis from Pittsburgh) has put together a killer mashup that seems like it grabs 6 or 7 or 8 songs at a time to form one crazy pandemonium of a sweaty dance freak out. Soooo good! These songs hook you from the very second you hit Play. I can't wait to throw it on at just the right ... MORE

So I added a bunch of cd's to my collection this weekend, and the biggest jewel I found thus far is in the more-than-a-mash-up cd, Night Ripper by Girl Talk. Being one to judge a book by it's cover, I first put off getting this album. The name Girl Talk just made me think back to my early childhood when I played the game with a best friend, which brought with it the shame that memories of putting fake pimples on one's face evoke. Especially when you're a dude. But alas, I... MORE

My emusic quota got reset today, and I've already used up most of my downloads. I need to learn some restraint or convince more people to sign up so I can get the bonus tracks. Anyway, the first thing I grabbed was the new Girl Talk album, "Night Ripper". Wow is this a fun disc! It's not as glitchy as the older stuff and is more like just a straight DJ/mash mix, but it's great. Definitely deserves to get played at some unspecified future party. This is putting ... MORE
