...know it, the GPS is malfunctioning in the car and you get lost. You show up for the meeting late, edgy, and shaking. You have to excuse yourself to hit the bathroom because you've got a stomach bug and antibiotics just aren't helping. Not to mention the fleas that seem to be leaping from the carpet into your socks. Halfway through the meeting a pest-control guy steps in and sprays the room with a white fog that makes you retch...

The continued success of Girl Talk’s boundless, ADD-addled music is emblematic of a few cultural trends I certainly won’t be the first to mention. There’s the rise of click-happy fans whose fingers linger over the advance buttons of their ipods, the death of hard-and-fast genres, and the increasingly abbreviated nature of the musical product, from albums, to singles, to ringtones, to Girl Talk’s potpourri...
