New Girl Talk Record Out. Download Now.

Girl Talk aka Gregg Gillis digitally released his new album a couple of days ago, entitled Feed the Animals. Upon the first couple of listens, I would say that this tops any previous effort by Gillis. He has expanded his musical sampling to include more 70s soul, 90s rap, and contemporary hits. Though nothing will ever top his indelible mix of Notorious B.I.G.’s “Juicy” with Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer,” this one has some soon-to-be mashup classics.

Download the album from Gillis’ label’s site: Illegal Art

Listen to it straight through, or skip ahead to these tracks: “Set It Off” and “Hands in the Air.” Additionally, if you hear a song that sounds familiar or just want to know every track Girl Talk samples, check out the album’s Wikipedia page

Mash-Up by Immuzikation: My Morning Jacket + Hercules and Love Affair + US3

The track is called Suspicious Loop Affair (Immuzikation HurryUpAndLeakAlreadyBlend).  Immuzikation has seemed to find a strange balance between the more schizophrenic work of Girl Talk and mashers-up like Mei Lwun. Check out what I mean below:
