Girl Talk Feeds the Animals
Which is actually just a bunch of kids wanting to dance.
Gregg Gillis is living the American dream. That is if the American dream is to be a former biomedical research engineer turned DJ/remixer that goes by the name of Girl Talk. Taking the, "It'll be done when it's done." approach for his newest album, Feed the Animals, Gillis focused on longer cuts of songs that are remixed so well that they are borderline unrecognizable at points. The longer cuts allow Gillis to focus on the "meat and potatoes" of the songs he was sampling - and you really can't argue with a guy who puts Lil Mama to the backdrop of "One" by Metallica.
Feed The Animals went the route of Radiohead, as Gillis (and his label Illegal Art) decided to allow the consumer to set the price of the album. You can head over to Illegal Art's website right now and download Feed The Animals for however much you want, with five dollars giving you the full remix as one track and ten dollars giving you the cover art and whatnot. Ironically, he uses "Paranoid Android" as a sample on "Set it Off".
