Gregg Gillis turns up the heat a couple of notches on Feed The Animals by using so many samples that your head will be spinning by the time this 53 minute romp is over. Returning from the glory of the now famous party LP, Night Ripper, Girl Talk is back with another outstanding mash-up adventure. Feed The Animals, is out now!

If you pay over $10, then you are pre-ordering a physical copy of the CD, which will be out later.
