GIRL TALK

I love Girl Talk. DJ Gregg Gillis a master at mashing up anything and everything, and as a music geek I probably appreciate these songs more than most (and I'm proud of myself when I recognize the numerous backing tracks).

His new collection "Feed The Animals" available online (and you can "name your price", sort of like Radiohead did last year with In Rainbows) and it's excellent -- very similar to "Night Ripper" (2006), and perhaps more varied and even tighter mixed. Here's track 5, "Set It Off", which is my vote for "song of the summer":
