The Nurse's Station: Girl Talk - Feed the Animals

The time was summer of 2006: it was the first time I heard Girl Talk's Night Ripper and I was at first puzzled.  I had heard these songs before, and they were being mashed together into an entire compilation for me to dance to.  I was thrilled!  My friend and I couldn't get enough; we played the album all summer and the next summer after that.  This summer we won't have to put Night Ripper back in because Greg Gillis is back with Feed the Animals.  He is arranging for the album to be purchased via his Illegal Art website and is pulling a Radiohead "In Rainbows" where you can buy the album for however much you will pay.  My personal favorite mashup is Yo la Tengo's Autumn Sweater mixed with Pras' Ghetto Supastar (on the track "Like This").  The song choice for this album is perfect (thank god Greg Gillis incorporated Come on Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners, that makes my day), and I officially declare Feed the Animals as my summer CD of 2008.
