It looks like the release date for Girl Talk’s latest album, Feed the Animals, has been pushed back to October 21 due to manufacturing issues and “has nothing to do with copyright issues.” Gee, you think Girl Talk and his management company are sick of answering that question yet? Maybe just a little. I’m not sure they would have taken the trouble to put that in the press release if they weren’t aware that everyone would draw their own conclusions on why the official album release got pushed back.
You can download the album now on a pay-what-you-want model, so why worry about the official release anyway? Well thankfully, it signals the start of a pretty massive tour. The tour is starting off on September 18 in Delaware (really?) — well only two dates are in September and they’re both East Coast – but then in October it starts off in Philly and will be making its way across the country immediately following. I’ll see you in San Fran, hopefully with the mass of people dancing onstage.
