Video: I'M A PC - Girl Talk

Doesn't The Forum fit something like 40,000 people? Girl Talk is cool and indie n shit still, right? Fuck. Mr Prime Time!? In addition to the Sydney side show (and his appearance at all Laneway Festival dates) the 'super DJ' will also be playing raves/shows/party-extravangzas at Ballarat and Melbourne. Friday, January 30: The Forum, Sydney Wednesday, February 4: Karova Lounge, Ballarat Thursday, February 5: Prince Bandroom, Melbourne Tickets go on sale November 21. Speaking of Girl Talk, did you hear that he prefers PCs over Macs? How he [...]

Those "I'm a PC" ads have become insufferably unavoidable as of late (now that Microsoft is letting people upload their own videos and then airing them), and now Microsoft has ...

Microsoft has found a new champion for the Windows operating system: the deconstructionist and sample-based music maker Girl Talk, who appears in Microsoft's "I'm a PC" commercial below. As Buzzfeed puts it, "Microsoft finally found someone cool to admit they're a PC." Of course, this being Microsoft, there's a way to make fun. Sure enough, it turns out that AudioMulch , the software Girl Talk (a.k.a. Greg Gillis) uses on stage, won't run on Windows Vista unless your admin settings are set a certain way. [...]

La increíble batalla entre PC y Mac que se está llevando a cabo hace años y de la cual, por suerte, los fanáticos de la música estábamos fuera se está empezando a expandir y comienza a llegar al terreno de las melodías. Esta vez la gente de Microsoft hizo un comercial que tiene como protagonista a Girl Talk , un DJ muy famoso en la escena estadounidense por haber hecho el documental Good Copy Bad Copy que habla, particularmente, de los derechos de autor y la forma en [...]

So, you've got a Mac, huh? (Yeah, I do, too.) You think you're so cool, like in those commercials where a hipster Mac ridicules a hopelessly square PC. Well, take this, vaguely affluent, urban, 20-something Mac user: Microsoft has ramped up its ad campaign, and now you're its target market! In fact, their brand new poster boy is none other than Girl Talk's Gregg Gillis ! In the Microsoft commercial below, watch as Gillis wraps two PC laptops in plastic and proceeds to throw a totally hip, totally kickass, totally Windows-tastic party! That'll teach me to keep buying stylish, [...]

The cling wrapped laptop you see Gregg Gillis mashing at when DJ-ing under his hobo/party boy alter ego Girl Talk is actually (shock horror) a PC. The latest in the "I'm a PC" campaign sees Gillis wax lyrical about "rocking a laptop" on stage and "making transformative music". Seriously dude? Rock a laptop? We also learn that PC's may be the perfect choice for laptop DJ's with a propensity to sweat. Says Gillis of disinterested audience members: "I know you would rather be reading a book at a coffee shop right now, but I'm going to be sweating [...]

If people are willing to take computer advice from that annoying actor in the Apple commercials, then surely they will take Girl Talk's opinion into consideration as well. I need to see Girl Talk live. PigeonsandPlanes

Apple's long-running Mac vs. PC ad campaign may be elitist, but as Videogum points out, "at least they addressed the superiority of their product over the competition, emphasizing the fact that PCs get viruses and break all the time." This new "I'm A PC" spot starring Girl Talk in his hotel room fails to identify why PCs are better, but we can assume it's because Gregg needs a laptop that can withstand flailing hipsters spilling Sparks. (Panasonic Toughbook is the mashup maestro's preferred brand.) Girl Talk's computers are covered in plastic because Mr. Gillis likes to make people [...]
