“It sounds like someone going to town on an FM radio” - Roommate
It’s not for everyone, but if you are the kind of person who’d be curious to hear what a Jay-Z verse perfectly laid over a Radiohead riff would sound like, or Busta Rhymes over The Police or what “Ms. New Booty” plus “Come on Eileen” equals (or Public Enemy and Heart?) you should probably check out “Feed The Animals.” This is Girl Talk’s 4th LP, and if you aren’t familiar with the others, they pretty much follow the same basic principle: take interesting pop melodies and vocals, both new and forgotten and stir them into a cohesive production. The outcome is indeed manic, and not all of it will gel for you, but it’s worth it for those moments when two or three or four musical elements you never would have connected seem to mesh wonderfully. Best of all, Girl Talk has adopted/improved the recent Radiohead/Nine Inch Nails music distribution system. His whole album is available for download on a “you set the price” basis. $0.00-4.99 gets you 320Kbps MP3’s (with album art), $5 will get you uncompressed FLAC files (play them with VLC) and give $10 and you get the downloads + a disc come November. Great options all around. Download “Feed the Animals” here.
