Filed under: News , Exclusive Darren Hauck, Getty Images For a guy who has close to 30,000 followers on Twitter and a fanbase fawning over his every mix, Gregg Gillis, aka Girl Talk , is certainly humble. "I'm doing a very blatant version of what can be done with samples," he admits to Spinner. "Everyone's incorporating elements of previously-existing music into what they're doing; the idea of it isn't as radical or as controversial [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music Mike Coppola, Getty Images Just because you've partied to Girl Talk doesn't mean Gregg Gillis makes party music. At least, that's what the Pittsburgh artist maintains when acknowledging he's been typecast as the "crazy party guy." Not that he's offended, mind you. "I like it," says the mash-up artist extraordinaire. "A lot of my favourite music and musicians and artists are people who can [...]

See my niggaz don't dance we just pull up our pants and, do the Roc-away. Now lean back, lean back, lean back. Girl Talk, aka Greg Gillis, just wrapped up 48 live shows where he would get on stage, play, mix, splice, and drop samples at a frenetic pace, sweat his ass off, and inspire the masses to dance their asses off. If you still don't know what Girl Talk is, I am not talking about a DJ who matches [...]

Words by Patrick Bowman Truthfully, I spent an obnoxious amount of time attempting to come up with a fairly hyperbolic introductory paragraph for this review of the first Girl Talk show and inaugural concert at Stage AE on Friday, December 3rd, 2010. After about twenty stops and starts, dozens of horrific college flashbacks to my nightly clashes with writer's block, and about five consecutive listens to All Day, words seemed to fail me (and I guess that sentiment, in its own right, is absurdly hyperbolic).The fact is, if you haven't [...]
Our rating: For the first 10 seconds of Girl Talk's latest release, All Day, you may think you are listening to the opening to Black Sabbath's Paranoid album. The distinction is made shortly after, however, and you'll quickly realize you are in for something completely different. For those who are unfamiliar with Girl Talk, he's a mash-up DJ from Pittsburgh who has come to be pretty popular in the past few years. Basically, he mixes together popular hip-hop songs with various pop and rock songs from all different time periods. The results [...]
If you haven't already heard (surely, you must have already heard), but Girl Talk surprised us all with the release of his new album All Day. And just in case you forgot, Greg Gillis and Illegal Art hate charging people money for anything. So yes, All Day is free too. However, since everyone is literally going shit-cakes over it, there have been massive downloading problems from the site, so only a few people have got it so far. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's slowing up anytime soon (I've been [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Near the end of a 90-minute set at Musicfest NW Thursday night, Girl Talk , aka Greg Gillis, took a quick breather from his ADD mash-ups to make an announcement: "Usually s--- gets f---ed up and shut down, but nothing got f---ed up," Gillis proudly told the perspiring audience at the Roseland Theater in Portland, Ore.

Girl Talk's sexy, sweaty show of Top 40 and classic mix-mashes brought thousands to the free Jelly Pool Party at the Williamsburg waterfront on Sunday night.
I had the pleasure of viewing Brett Gaylor 's documentary, Rip! A Remix Manifesto earlier this week. His report on the battle between remix culture and the rise of intellectual property is particularly poignant in the current era of cuts, clips, blips, samples and soundbites, and modern advances in technological innovations that allows us to copy and manipulate the works the works of others more easily. The film is premised well by his use of the raging popular Greg Gillis, aka Girl Talk , and Gaylor supports his argument well through his ongoing consultation with famed [...]
Panda Bear has a new music video for "Take Pills" from his 2007 album Person Pitch. Also, a brief ode to Noah Lennox aka Panda Bear.
There are a lot of pretty valid reasons that one might want to punch another human being in the face: they might be physically revolting, they could owe you money or smell a bit "off", or they might even be someone who has caused you some harm in the past. Throw all of those [...] [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
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 [...]
It's been floating all around the music blogosphere today, so we're not sure who to credit. We'll give the nod to Hipster Runoff for bringing us this Earth shattering video. The clip starts off harmlessly enough with Stephanie Tanner and good friend Kimmy Gibbler practicing their version of Ace Of Base's "I Saw The Sign" for the Tanner family (of Full House fame of course). But watch closely for the name on the drum set when they perform their first ever show. Gasp! To quote [...]
Hailing from Pittsburgh, Girl Talk (nee Gregg Gillis ) is a man on a mission to make you shake your ass on the dance floor like it ain't no thang. This former biomedical engineer quit his day job last year to pursue his real art and craft: mash-up style DJ-ing. Specializing in the creation of incredibly catchy "song blends," he incorporates the best highlights from popular Top 40, 80's, hip hop and alternative rock songs we all know and love, to make brand new tracks for us to continue loving. P Diddy [...]
it's taken more than a year for me to pick up my peter bjorn and john writer's block album again. initially, it was just so hard listening to the whole album without letting the rest of the songs get overshadowed by the whistling glory of "young folks" (remember my soft spot for whistles?). it also didn't help how much that song had been overplayed everywhere. but hearing the album afresh at books actually that day prompted me to give it another chance, and i can't believe how much this record still snaps, crackles and [...]

FmlyWhere 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!
