It may seem kind of weird, but Girl Talk is a guy. A guy from Pittsburgh named Gregg Gillis. You can download his latest album, Feed the Animals, via a "pay what you want" plan on Illegal Art, or wait until October 21st and go to a store to pick up a hard copy. But we suggest you click on over and slap a little virtual money down for it right now, because it's pretty darn good. Sure, the concept is simple enough: a bunch of familiar music from the last couple of decades, mixed together to create insane new dance tracks.

Between fake terrorist alerts and scandals big and small, this just might be the Best Best of the -ists ever. We're exhausted just thinking about it.

Saturday night my friend Rogue 2 and I went to hipster hell, otherwise known as Johnny Brenda's. We were there to see Girl Talk. We got more than we bargained for.
