The Domesticated Primate

I've been listening to the much-hyped Girl Talk. So far I've only heard Night Ripper. Haven't listened to Feed the Animals yet. Night Ripper is outstanding, and, if the new album is as good as or better, I think, he's worth the hype.

That is, if you like remix/mashup/re-purposing type of stuff. If you like The Avalanches and/or the Danger Mouse Grey Album, you should really like Girl Talk.

HOWEVER.

For all the hype that Girl Talk gets (and I've seen them discussed even in Wall Street Journal - mostly about the copyright stuff, though), for some reason, in all that hype, I never see much talk about The Kleptones.

Now, if you like Girl Talk I promise that you'll love The Kleptones. They just kick ass, and they released a new work, called Live'r Than You'll Ever Be - The Kleptones At Bestival 2007.

Trust me. Download it and put on your mp3 player, and thank me later. You can find that and more of their stuff at The Kleptones download page at kleptones.com.
