NEW MUSIC BURSTS FROM BAND'S BUBBLEROCK 'n' roll is a zoo, but the animals have always been free-range. At least until now. Atlanta-based punk pop band Cartel has agreed to be caged in a 40-by-40- foot Fiberglas "bubble" planted at the tip of Pier 54 on the Hudson, where they will...

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.

Super Furry Animals never pushed the mainstream away, though; after all, they even (mostly) stopped singing songs in Welsh after their early years. Their eighth album amplifies their accessibility further, focusing largely on good-natured pop with bubbly hooks and psychedelic embellishments in all the right places. After kicking off with the nutty "Gateway Song," frontman Gruff Rhys bites into "Run-Away," nailing the soaring chorus while the band raises a Spector-like ruckus. Nods to The Beach Boys continue in the effervescent harmonies on "Show Your Hand" and "The Gift That Keeps Giving." While these pretty, perfectly executed pop songs don't push the band's boundaries, it's hard to imagine a better opening sequence. Throughout, Rhys sounds like a songwriter
