Everyone's favorite mash-up maestro Gregg Gillis (aka Girl Talk ) has finally returned with a follow-up to his 2008 record, Feed The Animals .

Girl Talk might just be the most successful mashup artist around. I think some people get pissed off when mashup artists are actually called artists, but I think taking one form of art and mixing it with another form of art to create something new and different, is art. In 2006 he released (what I believe to be his best album) "Night Ripper", and in 2008 he released "Feed The Animals" which went absolutely apeshit-insane across the globe and is apparently everyone else's favourite album of his. A couple of weeks ago he announced that his [...]
Maybe one of the best videos ever? That's a bit brash, but there's something magical about Evan Roth's smashing together animated gifs to the equally smashed together sounds of Girl Talk titled "Cache Rules Everything Around Me". Cheeky. I bet if you could go back in time and show this to someone leaning up against the hood of their Ford Torino in 1970 and play this for them...their head would most likely explode. This kind of video is, to me, the heart of the internet: multiple streams of hyper referential audio and visual data, most of [...]
Remember when night ripper came out, how, regardless of the fact that the entire album actually consisted of clips of a bajillion songs, everyone could still sing along to every single one without error? Who doesn't, but for some reason, Feed the Animals, Gillis ' second major release, didn't quite rocket to cultdom the same way its forerunner did. But now, thanks to the patience and technological savvy of a Mr. Edd Hannay , you can dive into 'Feed the Animals' in a way that only the interwebz could make possible. Here's the gist of [...]
This week, I feel like showing some love to the up-and-coming rap genius Wiz Khalifa . Originally hailing from Pittsburgh, the 21-year old Wiz Khalifa has already shared the stage with the likes of Ghostface Killah, Styles P, Lupe Fiasco, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Cham, Little Brother, Clipse, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Lil Scrappy, Mario, T.I., Nas, and Rich Boy. Back in 2008, his hit single "Say Yeah" dropped to critical acclaim. I remember I had that track on repeat for days. Khalifa's version of "Say Yeah" was even mashed-up in the song "Don't Stop" off of Feed the Animals [...]

girl talk - feed the animals (illegal art) the other great thing guerrilla label illegal art released this year was girl talk 's feed the animals . mix albums have been around for some time, but greg gillis has taken the mash-up to a whole new level. for one, it's no longer about how well you can transit from track to track. some of girl talk's transitions are indeed nice, and very clever, but in other cases, jarring and even distasteful. however, this is precisely the deconstruction of the music that the [...]
The non-music media loves to write about mash-ups, because it allows them to talk about the niche concern of pop music without much discussing music at all. Because mash-up artists use existing songs, journalists trade the difficulty of understanding new artists for reliable classics. They can talk about all the non-musical aspects of music—MP3s, piracy, copyright, major labels, downloading, iPods, etc—and they don't look like the kind of old fuddy-duddies who champion bands that sound like the bands they themselves loved when they were young, such as Dr. Dog and Wilco.

photo by Rebecca Smeyne There isn't much to be said that hasn't already been said about Gregg Gillis' mash-up monstrosity Feed the Animals . Going by the stage name, Girl Talk , Gregg has burst into the modern dance scene like the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. At least that's what it feels like after you attend one of his out-of-this world, whacked out, dance parties. I guess you could say that this mash-up wizard has had himself quite a full year. Oh and he's not done [...]
I hate it when I or someone else sings a song from the 90s, or as early as nine months ago, and 7/10 times there is always that one person nearby who says in a derogatory fashion, "That song is old!" Enter Girl Talk's 2008 album "Feed the Animals", which is an amalgamation of those "old" and new songs. The first 30 seconds of track one combines Roy Orbinson, UGK, Spencer Davis Group, and TTC. Towards the end he goes onto combine the strings from Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 You" with Lil' Wayne's verse from "Stuntin Like My Daddy", [...]

Live: Girl Talk to play 40 cities in four months
(photo by Christos Schizas) Rapid-fire ADHD "Memory"-game producer/DJ/copyright criminal Gregg Gillis is known to most solely as the button-pusher Girl Talk, with several "albums" of mashed-to-shit hits under his sometimes-suited-sometimes-nak ed belt. Now, news of a return with another disc and a huge tour that starts in a week from today, let's see if the sensory-overloaded [...]
Girl Talk Announces 45-City U.S. Tour
Girl Talk is set to embark on a massive tour that stretches from November through the end of next March. The mash-up DJ plays the Hot Festival in Buenos Aires and Sao Paolo's Planeta Terra Festival before returning to his home town of Pittsburgh, then setting out across the U.S. Full dates via Consequence of Sound. No release date has been set, but Girl Talk told Pitchfork a new album is on the way, possibly due before the end of the year. The follow up to 20082s Feed the Animals , this one [...]

Girl Talk Stars In Copyright Doc
Rip! A Remix Manifesto is a documentary film by Brett Gaylor. It dives into the twisted and bewildering world of copyright law, and mashup master Girl Talk gets quite a bit of face time in the film. Check the film out in full over here:Rip! A Remix Manifesto
ACL Interviews: Girl Talk
We caught up with Gregg Gillis, the man behind Girl Talk on the phone. We discussed copyright law and how to make the panties drop, on both males and females of course, so read on to get an inside look at Gregg and Girl Talk. ATH: Is there are an artist or a song that you wanted to use in a Girl Talk track, but for the life of you, couldn't fit in? Gregg: It's [...]

A (Girl) Talk with Greg Gillis
Where hasn't Girl Talk been the past three years, since the explosion after Nightripper, the man, Greg Gillis, has left his Biomedical Engineering job, released another album, and toured all over this small world of ours. So to celebrate this celebrodome status, we thought we'd get a couple words in with the man himself. - All photos via J. Caldwell, Thanks! One thing that really came to me - more as a blinding epiphany than anything else - was how this fame has undermined my respect [...]

'08's Music to Love More Than Music: Love More, Pt. 6
Love More (<3) Fujiya & Miyagi - Lightbulbs A dancing dream. Fujiya & Miyagi have always mysteriously floated under the radar, which is just not right. Sure in 2003 there was a remix album, but I just don't think enough people have noticed the pulsating electro awkwardness that is F&M. Their sound pulls heavily from Krautrock and the analog sounding electronics of the mid 1900's, and there are fewer electronic artists that sound as warm and inviting. Fujiya & Miyagi [...]
