Girl Talk Unleashes Pay What You Want Album “Feed the Animals”

Mash-up guru Girl Talk’s new album Feed the Animals is now up for download on the Illegal Art Website. Like Radiohead’s In Rainbows, Feed the Animals will be available for whatever sum listeners deem worthy, even if they want to pay nothing. Girl Talk does have some incentives if you do choose to pay, however: $5 gets you FLAC files and a seamless mix of the album, while $10 gets you that and a physical copy of Feed when they become available. If you choose to download the album, you’re met with a series of options of why you opted not to pay, making you confront your own guilt. The album itself seems more focused and less jittery than Girl Talk’s previous album Night Ripper. Lil Wayne, Lil Jon, Avril Lavigne, Rod Stewart, Blackstreet, Procol Harum, Ace of Base, Kanye West, the Band and that song from Dawson’s Creek all get dropped in, and that’s just the first three tracks.

T.I. Free On Bail, Ace of Base Reunites, Morrissey Is Not Amused

T.I. is getting a temporary reprieve from prison: The judge in his gun-possession case ordered a $3 million bond for the rapper. As part of the release agreement, T.I. must be monitored during his twenty-four-hour house arrest, and is to have no contact with any witnesses involved in his federal weapons case. Illegal downloaders, rejoice? The nation of Pirate Bay is looking to resurrect the raided BitTorrent site OiNK and launch it under the new name BOiNK. Rock duo KRISTEENYOUNG has been dismissed from their gig opening for Morrissey after the lead singer, who’s also named Kristeen Young, told audience members chanting for Moz during her performance in New York that “Morrissey gives good head, I mean, er, cunnilingus …” Two mega groups from the Nineties are reforming: Europop stars Ace of Base and Aqua are both planning reunion tours. Additionally, Aqua will release a greatest hits collection, which will likely feature “Barbie Girl” and about fifteen remixes of “Barbie Girl.” Clear Channel, the much-maligned monopolizer of concert tickets, will face an antitrust class-action lawsuit from ticket buyers who claim the company jacked up ticket prices due to lack of competition in the industry.

We SO didn't see this comeback coming!

We all knew Take That would do it. East 17, even (although it didn't work). NKOTB: yup, we guessed that one, too. But this is one reunion we really didn't see coming – Ace of ruddy Base. Yes, the Swedish pop group who soundtracked our school discos while we stared at Daniel Taylor longingly are BACK. Not only have they announced that they will be releasing a Greatest Hits, but there will also be – gulp – new material. We might give the new material a miss, but let's not forget the greatness that was Ace of Base. Like a '90s Abba, with their two boys-two girls set-up, they delivered hit after hit (alright, two that we can remember – All That She Wants and The Sign) to a cheesy Eurobeat whilst wearing open shirts that fluttered in the wind machine (the boys) and dodgy belly tops and chokers (the girls, durr). Here, as a memory jogger, and for your pure enjoyment (blimey, we're good to you) is The Sign. Scarily, we still know all the words...

…OF THE DAY

ALL THAT NO ONE WANTS: Ace Of Base will release a new album in 2009, along with a Greatest Hits compilation and a world tour. Now with the Backstreet Boys' comeback, the New Kids' comeback, and this album, 1990-2010 will be a palindrome. (Dlisted) NEW EXCUSE: Janet Jackson claims she is feeling "too nasty" to perform and is postponing a series of performances. That's odd, because whenever Prince feels "too nasty" he doubles his tour dates. (NY Daily News) BE ATTENTION WHORISH AND MULTIPLY: Jessica Simpson says she wants "six kids," figuring that (6 Kids) x (9 Months of Pregnancy) x (6 1st Birthday Parties) x (6 More Cowboys Playoff Collapses) = About 700 consecutive months of sustained worthless attention. (OK! Magazine) MAD HATTERS, YO: Find an Indy hat, keep an Indy hat -- Another Indiana Jones marketing campaign that's way more plausible and enjoyable than the movie itself. (Zoomdoggle) THIS IS LAME: Apparently, messing with a friend of a Facebook employee is more dangerous than messing with a friend of the mob. At least this way, you know what your assassin's Favorite Movie Quotes are. (Drunken Stepfather)

LISTEN UP: Honestly, Who Didn’t Own the Ace of Base Album?

Brooklyn Vegan has two live Mountain Goats mp3s guaranteed to put a smile on your face, including a cover of "The Sign" by Ace of Base. Hipster Me and Nostalgia Me haven't clashed like this since the time someone poured Sparks on my Power Pad. Headphones On posts a really enjoyable track from on-and-off Blur guitarist Graham Coxon, titled "Bittersweet Bundle of Misery." Strange title, but it's fortunately still about six words shy of turning into a Panic! At the Disco song. The Punk Guy posts a bundle of mp3s from the only person who can rhyme "Tiddly Winks" with "Nipples is pink," Del the Funkee Homosapien. Besides every four year old, I mean. Woo-hoo! I've been writing this post for months and I finally have a chance to link The Bats! It took almost a year, but my music blog Bat Signal finally paid off. (Short Term MP3 Loss) Double Brooklyn Vegan linkage today, but what was I gonna do, not link Girl Talk mashing together Grizzly Bear and Clipse? I indie-ly think not.

What Happened To The Blonde Chick???

We saw the sign, and it didn't look like this! Ace of Base is back, y'all. One small thing: Only this time they are a trio. Sigh. It's just not the same! On the bright side: Photoshop is your friend, bbs.
