In what is sure to be old news to any hip music consumer, Girl Talk - the handle of DJ Gregg Gillis - has released his latest mash-up masterpiece.  Some fans are calling it a quick fix to appease his growing and rabid fanbase, but from a pure listening standpoint, this is one solid record.  Listening to the record in order is like taking an 80-minute musical journey through all the songs you forgot you liked.  It's far beyond your average mashup, in that each song sampled seems to be better than the original track and in that each layer adds something new to the mix.  As with all great albums, you feel as though you're being told a story.  What that story is, I haven't the faintest, but the album moves up and down in intensity, creating a feeling of forward movement and no, I'm not stoned right now.  Questionable as it may be - Gillis doesn't pay licensing fees for his samples - it's worth a listen if just to see what one creative musical mind can do with other people's songs.
