"When the Pittsburgh-based musician who calls himself Girl Talk announced that his new collection of songs, “Feed the Animals,” would be released on a pay-what-you-want download basis, it didn’t get quite the same level of attention that Radiohead got when that band did the same thing last October. That makes sense: Aside from being first, Radiohead also happened to be a chart-topping critics’ darling that had sold millions of records over the course of a years-long major-label career. Girl Talk (real name Gregg Gillis) has also won critical praise but is not likely to land a big-time contract, commercial radio play, a spot in an iPod ad or even distribution on iTunes. This is because “Feed the Animals” is composed almost entirely of more than 200 samples of other artists’ music, ranging from Lil Wayne to Kenny Loggins — none of which Gillis has obtained permission to use." from the New York Times, by Rob Walker.
