Eavesdropping on Girl Talk

What do Cheap Trick, Lil Wayne, and Earth, Wind, and Fire have in common? What about Radiohead, Tag Team, En Vogue? Ace of Base, Yeal Naim, Jay-Z?

All of these artists take part in Girl Talk's pop music pastiches. In his new album, Feed the Animals (thanks Amber!), the DJ parachutes in artists from across the soundboard--old/new school hip-hop, 80's hair rock, and cocoa butter soul classics--to produce tracks that make you want to shake it. I dare you to stand still while listening to Busta Rhymes flowing over the Police's Every Little Thing...

Girl Talk is a meticulous tailor who seamlessly stitches together anything he can get his hands on. Beginning with Play Your Part (Pt. 1) and ending with its counterpart (Pt. 2), the fourteen tracks listens like one long playlist that will have you pop locking your shit until closing time.

I listened to this yesterday and it's really great. I like how it keeps changing every few seconds so I don't have a chance to get bored.
