I am still without an official summer song and seeing as how there are only about eight weeks or so of summer left, I think it's safe to assume this won't be the summer like 2006. I won't ruminate on that perfect summer of pop, but I really do long for a summer that does not include Coldplay, Lil Wayne, or Rihanna. If there is one person that could provide the ultimate summer song, or at least get the party started with a collection of the best summer songs, it would be Girl Talk. His feverish ode to pop music, "Night Ripper", was a stunning, complex, and modern take on the joys of music everyone knows and loves. His latest album, "Feed the Animals", doesn't disappoint or let up from his last. It's available for whatever price you want to pay at Illegal Art.
Top 5 Mashups from "Feed the Animals":
- Jay-Z, "Roc Boys"/Radiohead, "Paranoid Android" (from "Set It Off")
- Mary J. Blige, "Real Love"/The Guess Who, "These Eyes" (from Set It Off)
- Missy Elliott, "Work It"/Faith Evans, "Love Like This"/Nu Shooz, "I Can't Wait" (from "No Pause)
- Stardust, "Music Sounds Better With You"/Yo Majesty, "Club Action"/Genesis, "Invisible Touch"/Michael Jackson, "Wanna Be Startin' Something" (from "Hands in the Air")
- M.I.A., "Boyz"/The Cranberries, "Dreams" (from "Let Me See You")
