Gregg Gillis (aka Girl Talk) is a not a DJ. He cuts up songs, stretches and loops beats, mixes samples of many different genres to create recontextualized and fresh songs. Call it mashup on ecstasy. Went to school for biomedical engineering, but quit in 2007 to focus on his music. The legality of said music is oft discussed, as he uses at least two dozen unauthorized samples per track. Gillis cites "fair use" as a legal defense for his sampling practices. He feels as though copyrights inhibit creativity. So far, there hasn't been a lawsuit. Girl Talk has released four albums and several EPs on Illegal Art. His latest, "Feed the Animals" uses over 300 samples and is critically acclaimed. Where else can you hear Salt 'N Pepa mixed with Nirvana? That's what I thought.

Deep conversation between members of the female sex. Contrary to popular believe, it is not always about boys.

Conversation between the female sex. This conversation usually doesn't make sense to anyone on the outside because the sentences made by the two having a conversation often doesn't use nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs or prepositions.

A sincere, mutual expression of the emotional platform upon which actions and reactions are based. Not to be confused with chatter about fashion or celebrities.

when a female talks to another female directly infront of you without any consideration of how you may feel about not being involved

Girl Talk is an amazing artist, if you feel the need to pigeonhole him he would probably best be called a 'mashup artist', although there is more to him than that.

At first his albums sound like bastard pop on speed, but after a couple listens you can come to grasp the depth and variety in his samples.
