Girl Talk’s popularity has come a long way since he was opening for Man Man at Club 770. The shows were bonkers then and still are, just on a more grandiose platform. This time through town Girl Talk grew out of the Orpheum Theater and into Exhibition Hall at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison. A venue much more suitable for the high energy show. Ed Oliver was there and brought back the photos you see here.

How much did you pay for the new Girl Talk record? Today you can “pay what you want” for Feed The Animals, but be warned you’ll have to provide your reasons for your decisions. Anyone who’s gotten on stage with Gregg in the past and shared sweat with the man owes at least $5, right?

For those that have already heard it, what are your initial reactions? What did you pay?
