Girl Talk mainman Greg Gillis tells Billboard.com he will release "Feed the Animals," a 55-minute album featuring more than 300 samples, in a pay-what-you want format a la Radiohead's "In Rainbows" via his label Illegal Art's Web site. A physical CD will available sometime in the next few months.

"This project has always been about embracing pop," Gillis says. "I feel like the source material on this record has more in-your-face classics. Because of that, it's more over the top."

"In my mind, it's a highlight reel of my live show since last year," he tells Billboard.com. "The core ideas are there, but what takes me a long time is just actually pushing them together -- the transitions and things. Live, I'm pretty rough about it. I like to keep it loose. But on record it's like a different art form, so that's the real difficult thing for me."

Gillis envisions the album being more diverse than 2006's "Night Ripper" on a number of levels. "The vocal sources are going to be a little more all over the map," he says. He's also conscious of not simply sampling what's currently dominating the pop charts. "I don't care if no one plays [the song] anymore," he says. "In my mind, everything I do, I want to be a new song."
