Girl Talk Gives Away New Album For Free (If You Are Patient)

The sample stealing/laptop DJ/mashup master Girl Talk has been dropping his musical melange since 2002. However, it was his game changer Night Ripper in 2006 that made cool kids of all shapes, sizes and colors take notice and dissect each ironic reference while shaking their collective skinny jeans-clad hips. His style is truly broad in scope and flavor with nothing too mainstream nor disparate to be poured into the mix and blended into something wholly different than the sum of its parts. Without much more than some hints, Girl Talk drops an entire album for free through the Illegal Art website. Entitled All Day, early listens and information states that this is less of an album of short tracks containing snippets of pop, metal and hip hop with more of an extended and continuous mixtape feel. Still, the classic songs from any and all genres that he chooses to interlock together can run between mind-bendingly moving to head-scratchingly peculiar. That is why I dig Girl Talk so much. He has no pretension nor boundaries about his choices and nothing but love for the music he utilizes. Realizing that makes me be a better music fan.

If you are patient and persistent (and quit whining), the download will kick in a couple of minutes. If you are savvy and a bit nefarious, you can find it via other means in the darker corners of the 'net. Also, there are some new album audio tracks for your listening pleasure via his MySpace page. Good hunting. In the meantime, enjoy this classic fan-made video from the Night Ripper LP.
