OBLIGATORY GIRL TALK POST

Not content with stealing songs, Greg Gillis, aka Girl Talk, is now nicking ideas. Namely, that of releasing an album over the internet and inviting people to pay whatever they feel is a fair price for it. Click on the picture below for the action.

Offering zero dollars (not that we’d know anything about that, being incredibly rich) gives you the opportunity to say why (something that was missing from ‘In Rainbows’ - ‘BECAUSE IT’S RADIOHEAD FOR FUCK’S SAKE!’) by choosing your excuse from a list that includes the spectacularly blustery “I am part of the press, radio, or music industry”.

The album itself, the usual mish-mash of pop samples mixed with hip hop beats and rhymes, will be familiar if you’ve heard ’Night Ripper’. This collection is more polished and sees Gillis honing the technical side of his work, but at the expense of the anarchic, cut ’n’ paste thrills that typified his previous release. The upside being that the contents are more cohesive, and less like listening to someone flick through the music channels, than they were before.

So there you go.
