I am forever LOVING "Girl Talk", which is a DJ named Greg Gillis who makes wonderful music mashups.

One of the coolest parts is that he lives here in Pittsburgh. I didn't even know until I looked up more information about Girl Talk a year or so ago!

Born in 1981, Gillis takes all the songs you know and love, takes the best PARTS of these songs and makes a totally awesome new dance groove!

Oh yeah, and he does it all with a computer.

If you haven't listened to his mixes, it is a must. That will be your homework over the weekend. My favorite is "Bounce That" from the Night Ripper album, which you can buy here.

Pitchfork Media did an interview with Gillis last year that can be seen here.

He talks about everything, and includes a lot of Pittsburgh references, which I like! How often does one of your favorite musicians (or anyone with some fame really) talk about the place you know, live and love (unless of course you live in LA or NY)!

Here in the 'Burgh, he's played at The Andy Warhol Museum (just add another to his 'plus' list, why don't we?), but he's played in tons of other places including Japan!

These are from the Warhol, in Pittsburgh.These are from Japan.

I think it's absolutely amazing what Girl Talk has done for mixes, and for music in general. Greg Gillis is like a sort of inspiration, I think. Or maybe I'm just upset I didn't think of it first!
