Victor Mancini, a sex-addicted med-school dropout, who keeps his increasingly deranged mother, Ida, in an expensive private medical hospital by working days as a historical reenactor at a Colonial Williamsburg theme park. At night Victor runs a scam by deliberately choking in upscale restaurants to form parasitic relationships with the wealthy patrons who “save” him. When, in a rare lucid movement, Ida reveals that she has withheld the shocking truth of his father’s identity, Victor enlists the aid of his best friend, Denny and his mother’s beautiful attending physician, Dr. Paige Marshall, to solve the mystery before the truth of his possibly divine parentage is lost forever.

Paste Magazine recently sat down with Girl Talk’s Greg Gillis, who had this to say concerning his new album . . .
Paste: How far along are you into the new record? Are you still planning on a double-album?
Gillis: It’s about over a third of the way done, and I don’t think it’ll be a double album, but it may be a little bit longer [than a normal album]. It’s so hard for me to estimate because I feel like I have a gauge on how long certain material will be, because I have these basic ideas that I know are going on, but once I actually edit it, it takes a new form. I’ve had this whole month off from shows, so I’ve been working locked in my room for the past month.
Paste: When will it come out?
Gillis: I’m gonna try to finish up within a month or so, but I can’t promise that. The moment I’m done and have it mastered and finalized, it’ll be up on the Internet. So I’d say, like, mid-May to June, you should probably hear it.
Also, concerning compensating sampled artists . . .
Gillis: Potentially [my music] could be legal. Someone could take us to court and this could be deemed legal. They could say, “It’s transformative. It’s not negatively impacting the artist’s potential sales,” and we’re cool with that. But we were interested in proposing a reasonable system, because when you put out an album like Night Ripper with 300 samples, if you have to pay 10 cents for each sample, you’d have to sell the CD for $50 to pay the artists back. So we’re setting up a system where we have a roof on each track on how much we can give out, and the details aren’t locked in on this 100% yet, but there’s gonna be a fan voting system, where fans get to vote how vital they think each sample is to each track, and based on that we’re gonna give away percentages of money to the artists.
