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.
