Photo and autographs courtesy of the G Archives. Girl Talk If you've never had the pleasure of seeing Girl Talk (aka Gregg Gillis) in concert, you are missing out. I don't know how he does it, but he is the king of the song mashup. After taking bits of all sorts of songs, he puts the pieces together and makes new tracks with recognizable beats and/or lyrics, but with a freshness that belongs exclusively to Girl Talk. His live shows are an extension of his in the studio work and [...]

Girl Talk is an extraordinarily popular electronic group that takes samples of other people's music to create new songs. While Girl Talk is massively popular and the group's principal song organizer (I don't dare say song writer) Gregg Gillis has received a lot of publicity, both negative and positive. I have lots of negative things to say. First off, I care about the artists that you sample from (The Beach Boys, The Emotions, Hall and Oates, Chicago, Paul McCartney, George Michael and hundreds of others). By not paying these people, who essentially wrote your music and made you [...]

Huh...now isn't this interesting! I'll let Pitchfork take it from here. The latest episode of the Pitchfork.tv series " Selector " is pretty special. In a deviated from the usual "Selector" formula (in which rappers choose from two beats produced by indie artists for a freestyle backing track), we brought Dipset MC Jim Jones and mashup maestro Girl Talk together in Jones' Nomad District studio. Together, they created a new track: "Believe in Magic", produced by Girl Talk using a sample of 1970s soul group Honey Cone's "Want Ads" and freestyled by [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Darren Hauck, Getty Images When Girl Talk (aka Gregg Gillis ) performs a show, he takes the audience on a wild ride with a rapid-fire audio mosaic of songs everyone knows by heart. And at this point, he's got that much dialed in. But given the sheer number of bands and songs he samples as part of his schtick, it comes as little surprise that [...]

Photo by G. Gregg Gillis of Girl Talk and G If you don't know the music of Girl Talk, you are about to discover hours of listening pleasure. Gregg Gillis, who goes by the name Girl Talk, mashes up music so seamlessly, you'll wonder how he does it. He takes the best bits of so many familiar songs and rearranges them in a way that is beyond genius. His live shows are ridiculously fun dance parties. He's throwing another one tonight at New York's Terminal 5. I met Gregg [...]

Girl Talk (Gregg Gillis) whips the Houston crowd - onstage and off - into a frenzy. Burn your guitars - Girl Talk is one of the hottest live acts goin' for this particular 15 minutes and a frenzied crowd piled into Houston's Verizon Wireless Theater for the most outrageously anticipated show in recent memory. Our Austin correspondent Lily Angelle , on the tail end of her holiday break from college, attended the event. She took some photos and as soon as we can wake her up, she'll give us [...]

We've seen Girl Talk at Forecastle, Bonnaroo, Headliner's and The Metro in Chicago, and this show was by far the best. Initially, we questioned Girl Talk's whole act (i.e. "come party while watching Gregg Gillis check his e-mail"), but over the years we have grown to appreciate the show for what it really is... a damn good time. Almost 1,500 people packed the Expo 5 hanger and heated it up. Literally. When the door opened, the steam pillowing into the venue looked like a scene out of the x-files. The glow-stick, balloons and the [...]

Mash-up artist Gregg Gillis, affectionately known by millions as Girl Talk , released his latest album All Day earlier today. I couldn't be more excited. On All Day , Gillis mashes up tracks like Cali Swag District's "Teach Me How to Dougie" to the 1987 hit "Jane Says," Portishead with Big Boi, and Lady Gaga with Aphex Twin. His ability to make an un-danceable song danceable is pretty amazing. I'm sure a couple of these songs will find themselves on your weekend playlist. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] [...]

Here's a little sumthin' sumthin' to jump start your week. Gregg Gillis, or as you know him, Girl Talk , is ready to roll with his fifth (and ostensibly his most epic) record, All Day . Based on his recent releases, one would assume we're creeping ever-closer to maximum sample density, but All Day boosts an incredible 373 samples in 71 minutes. No matter how you cut it, that's a lot of ass shaking per square inch. Now that the heavy lifting [...]

(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 , aka Gregg Gillis , has announced plans to release a documentary later this year. The documentary centers around Girl Talk 's New Year's Eve extravaganza, which took place at the beginning of this year, and was attended by thousands. The planning and show was documented on multiple HD cameras and was made into a documentary film which will be released soon. The bash took place at the 4,500-capacity Congress Theatre in Chicago where a two-story, five room house was built right on the stage. A trailer for [...]

grand buffet - "cool as hell" (download) Yes, these guys are "cool as hell." Not only are they some of the awesomest guys you'll ever meet, they also enlisted fellow Pittsburgh homie Girl Talk WAY before everyone jumped on that bandwagon. Grand Buffet usually take it upon themselves to handle their production duties, but for this track from their 2003 release Pittsburgh Hearts , the man himself, Gregg Gillis , produced this track for them, and what a banger it is. You really can't go [...]
