Night Ripper was mostly rap vocals, are there any more rock vocals on Feed the Animals?
GT: I’m still focused on rap stuff. The a cappellas are easier to get and easier to work with, and rap is typically in monotones so easier to match with things. But there is definitely a bit more diversity in the vocals. There’s a little bit more R&B, a little bit more singing and then there’s more rock vocals, like Kansas on the last one. And even some older vocals, just small segments like Wilson Pickett. BE: How do you get a lot of your stuff? GT: Mostly online. Back in the day I would buy a little more vinyl, but everything is so available online. It’s crazy. My music has changed as a function of what’s become available. Pre-Night Ripper, it was hard to find a cappellas, now you can name a song and it’s a good chance you find the a cappella out there. BE: You’re playing Lollapalooza this year. (Ed. note: Our interview took place before the concert on Aug. 1-3) GT: I went to Lollapalooza ‘95. It was Sonic Youth, Beck, Jesus Lizard, Pavement; it was like crazy. That day was completel
