Girl Talk -- Feed The Animals

Hey, Blogheads. Yeah, that's right... I came up with a name! For YOU! Off the top of my head! And it's gonna stick, dammit! You see, it's funny because it kinda sounds like "blockheads," but appropriate because you're reading a blog. Also, I'm an idiot.

But, now, to the business! I've chosen to use my allotted time this week to tell you a little about an album that holds a very special place in my heart, so that maybe you can enjoy it too. I'm trying to beat the clock so I can get some sleep tonight, so let's get started!

The album in question is:

Girl Talk
Feed The Animals
















When I picked up Girl Talk's last album, Night Ripper, I thought I had heard the pinnacle of music. The entire album played as one long track, weaving in and out of artfully-arranged samples. Every song had an infectious energy that was impossible to deny, and I was basically forced to shake my ass and move my feet. There was obviously nothing that could top this... NOT! Girl Talk's new album simply blew my fucking mind. Similarly mixed into one mega-track, it was pure audiogasm from the very first beat. It doesn't have quite as many memorable moments as Night Ripper, but anyone who can take "Whoop! There It Is" and make it cool again is a fucking genius in my book. His style has evolved and he put something together that functions so incredibly well as a whole. I sincerely believe that this is one of the best albums to which I have ever listened (Suck on that grammar, bitches... No hanging-fucking-prepositions). The best part is that it's free as hell, too. On Illegal Art's website, they're offering a free download with bonuses for donations. So basically, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever that you shouldn't be listening to this album right now. Please do yourself a favor and Feed The Animals.

Important Note: That last remark was a failed attempt to sound cool and sauve while getting you to listen to this great album, not an invitation to come to Brookfield and throw shit into my animals' cages. If you do, I swear to God I'll come dropkick your face.

Anyways, get excited because I've got something really cool planned for you this week. You're gonna love it. Like, seriously, I'm a genius. YES.
