Girl Talk Gives Bloggers Something To Do This Summer

I suppose the new Girl Talk disc could be considered “highly anticipated” since Night Ripper was a hit inside our creepy Internet circles, at least to the extent that Greg Gillis could quit his job to seemingly play the same “not a DJ” set at every festival, parking lot and bar mitzvah over the course of the last two years. Somehow, the new album will focus more on easily recognizable pop samples, which seems difficult to comprehend, but I guess we’ll find out in a week or so–according to Billboard, the new album will be available on the Illegal Art Web site using the “pay-what-you-want” model, which contrasts with Gillis’ own “pay nothing” approach to clearing the countless samples that appear on the album itself.
