Girl Talk comes out of retirement, releases 'new album'


I am not sure what Girl Talk's deal is. Is he relevant? Is he a DJ? Is he blggbl? Seems like he has 'been off the radar' for what seems like 100 blog years, but now he decides to 'drop' a new mixtape/album. Not sure if I will vibe hard to it. Gregg Gillis used to be a bloghouse DJ inspiration, since he was a mainstreamer trapped in a mainstream job, but then he 'became a relevant indie figure' because of his zany DJ album Night Ripper. Not sure if that album was 'good', 'special', or just came out 'at the right place + right time in indie history' so ppl were all post-ironic abt it.

Remember when Girl Talk was 'alt'/'underground', and then he became a college bro entry level lamestreamer wave DJ? Can Girl Talk 'go mainstream'? Did the chillwave era hijack Gregg Gillis's ultimate goal to 'create new songs out of old songs' in a non-DJ kind of way?

His newest album/mixtape 'All Day' seems like some sort of effort to 'leave a mark' on 2k10 bc it is a weak musical year and he probs just wants a new album so he can go make thousands of dollars per nite on college campuses.

All Day is intended to be listened to as a whole.
It is broken up into individual tracks only for easier navigation.

This album is a free download.
Girl Talk thanks all artists sampled. A full list will be posted in the future.

Here is the album art. Seems like the skeleton of some dude who probably died when a stage collapsed on him during a Girl Talk Concert.

Here is some 'disclaimer' [via 'the law'] that he put on the website, probably so he doesn't get sued::

R u gonna listen to this 'album'?
Do ppl still find the Girls Talks 2 be fun/exciting?
Is his gimmick 'tired'?
Is Girl Talk's brand gonna 'live 4evr' or is he 'effed' in the modern indiesphere?
Should Girl Talk score the soundtrack to the next Girls Gone Wild DVD?
Has Girl Talk already 'tapped out his market share'?
Can Girl Talk top the 8.4 that he got in 2k6?

R u gonna listen 2 his new shit or is it 'not even worth it'?
Did Girl talk 'save' 2k10?
Or does this mean that 2k10 is officially 'the worst year in indie music history in the history of indie music'?
Is sample-based music 'dead'?
