Girl Talk Show Too Cool For Most Schools

By Zack Vitiello (CHARTattack) September 14, 2009 3:53 pm

There are few better ways to cure the back-to-school blues than attending a free concert on Toronto Island with one of the world's most acclaimed party-starters. On Friday afternoon, Ryerson University students were treated to what must have been the most impressive Frosh Week event to be offered by a Canadian university this year, or possibly...

Osheaga 2009 Showcases La Roux, New Wavers

By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) August 4, 2009 2:32 pm

It's a combination of the long lineups, the omnipresent enclosures, rigid schedules and overpriced wares, but nothing awakens my animalistic tendencies quite like Osheaga, Montreal's massive weekend musical bash. It's not really a "music and arts festival" because a festival would imply there's some sort of cultural celebration...

Rip Girl Talk Movie Baits Lawyers

By Evan Dickson (CHARTattack) March 6, 2009 11:22 am

You'd better go see Rip: A Remix Manifesto before it gets sued off the face of the Earth. In the process of attacking runaway copyright law, the "Remix Manifesto" naturally puts itself into very dangerous legal territory. There's more than one scene in which somebody advises director Brett Gaylor that his documentary is basically...

Girl Talk — Feed The Animals

By Zack Vitiello (CHARTattack) December 19, 2008 4:37 pm

For those of you who heard Night Ripper, the 2006 release that sent the name Girl Talk radiating through the blogosphere, Feed The Animals is more of the same. While that sounds largely dismissive, it isn't. Night Ripper was a near perfect album full of extraordinarily unique and surprising mash-ups (Biggie over Elton John, anyone?) that instantly...

WATCH: Chapter 1 of Girl Walk // All Day, a full-album music video for Girl Talk's All Day mixtape

By Dan Busheikin (CHARTattack) December 1, 2011 11:57 am

Here's an interesting project: Filmmaker Jacob Krupnick decided it would be a good idea to make a dance video set to Girl Talk's sample-soaked bangers. However, this would be one very long music video -- one that spans the entire duration of Girl Talk's 2010 mixtape All Day. Technically, that's feature-length.Thanks to nearly $25,000 in donations...

Girl Talk — All Day

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) November 17, 2010 4:42 pm

Four years ago, "mashups" (or what simply would have been called "DJing" back in the day) were all the rage. The art seemed to burst into hipster consciousness when Danger Mouse put out his Grey Album, and Girl Talk's Night Ripper took it to new heights.The genre hasn't exactly gotten stale, but one does have to wonder just how much longer it has...

Girl Talk Playing Sled Island 2010

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) February 26, 2010 5:11 pm

Make sure you have plenty of water on hand if you attend the 2010 Sled Island Music Festival this summer because you're going to need it. Girl Talk is going to turn it into a sweaty (perhaps even naked) mess. Yes, the DJ whose real name is Gregg Gillis is confirmed to play the Calgary festival, which runs June 30 to July 3 at venues throughout...
