Greg Gillis, sole proprietor of Girl Talk, wants you to put in your ear buds this morning and tune out the world. His new album, All Day, is available for free download right here. Talk about a good way to make sure no one asks if you've got a case of the Mondays.

We spent a pleasant Saturday at the 'Roo under blue skies and only a moderate amount of mud and standing water. Right in the middle of some dedicated people-watching, when we thought life couldn't possibly get any better, we snagged a few treasured minutes with Chris Keating, lead singer of Brooklyn-based band Yeasayer, and Gregg Gillis, the sometimes controversial mash-up DJ known as Girl Talk. Gregg attracted a monstrous crowd for his 2:30 a.m. set on Friday night, and Yeasayer, directly followed by MGMT, filled the house and killed it at their late-night Saturday show. Luckily for those in attendance, they threw in a few very catchy tracks from their soon-to-be-released album. MGMT followed suit, and although every single one of the festival's pseudo hippies/wannabe hipsters was there to pay tribute, no one was feeling their new tunes.

Brazilian Girls, New York City (Verve Forecast). As the title of their art-groovy third album suggests, Brazilian Girls make music for urban spaces: airports, nightclubs, deserted streets. The trio -- only one of whom is female, and Italian -- are residents of New York City but citizens of the world. There are songs here in four languages, about “St. Petersburg,” “Berlin” and a plethora of cities name-checked in “Internacional.” Riff genius, immaculate drummer and fashion diva: The Girls resemble Blondie more and more every year. And that’s a good thing. -- Evelyn McDonnell

If you’re one of those iPod owners who likes to max out their memory, get ready to purge, because there’s a new album coming out that you’re gonna wanna cop (sorry Weezer, but you’re getting the boot). Pop music contortionist, Girl Talk (a.k.a. Greg Gillis), finished laying down the tracks for his fourth LP, Feed the Animals, last Tuesday (June 10). In the tradition of Radiohead, Gillis told Pitchfork Media the tracks will be available on the Internet “Wednesday or Thursday” of this week for an optional fee along with hard copies to follow. Gillis chose to release the album at an accelerated pace because of the current pop and hip-hop samples on it. There has been no word on what tracks are sampled on the album, but we’re hoping for a few songs in particular. “Lollipop” by Lil Wayne isn’t one of them.
