Girl Talk is BACK

Greg Gillis, better known as Girl Talk, has just released his 3rd full album, All Day. And like usual, IT IS AVAILABLE FOR FREE DOWNLOAD. The only bad side is the demand for his album is so high it's shut his label's (Illegal Art) server. They posted a bunch of torrent links that aren't illegal, so don't worry about the FBI coming to your door.

For those of you who don't know Girl Talk, I promise you will find something you can appreciate in his music. If you can't, you must listen to some weird stuff, because he mashes up songs from across genres and decades of music. His music defines the word "accessible," and his albums are non-stop dance parties. Check. Him. Out.

And for those who do know Girl Talk, or at least know they're going to like him, he's got dates out for a ridiculous tour. Given that his crazy live shows take the place of album sales, Girl Talk has booked a ton of dates. I've embedded a documentary about his shows below split into 3 parts. He'll be visiting Oakland's Fox Theater on FRIDAY the 18th of March. Check below for the rest of his tour dates as well.

Side Note: The FBI thing is part exaggeration, part South Park reference, but my friend did get sent a $250 dollar check in the mail for two Limewire downloads, not to freak you out or anything.
