So, on October 25, the Kia Soul Collective tour (which apparently marries the backwards name for a terrible Georgia alternative rock band from the nineties who are still sort of around today making records and the Korea-born car company known...
Friday night ended up being a shit show for a lot of people. Friday night was the night that Girl Talk came to Fordham University. Thousands of people flooded the Lombardi Fieldhouse for this, many of which I don't think knew much about Girl Talk at all. The night started with Richie Coppolino opening up. Not going to lie, he was pretty awesome. He kept the crowd entertained, moving, jumping and
San Diego, you are in for one hell of a party. On Sunday evening, Girl Talk performed at Jelly's penultimate Pool Party in Brooklyn to the largest crowd of the summer.
When you say Girl Talk, the first thing that should come to mind is sheer dance chaos. Throw in the word free, and chances are likely that the show will be over the top in the most fun way possible. The threat of rain was minimal, with only a short shower towards the end that [...]

I've got a brand new review up at Blogcritics Magazine of Girl Talk's album Feed The Animals. Here's an excerpt:In an era where mash-ups, remixes, and mixtapes are plentiful, it takes a lot to stand out from the crowd. Girl Talk (aka Gregg Gillis) certainly does so on his newest album Feed The Animals. Drawing from an unbelievably wide variety of songs and genres, Gillis has not only crafted a...
We'd like to welcome Kate Griendling and photographer Zachary D. Helminiak to Team HT from the Campaign For Change, where their hard work helped get President-elect Barack Obama into office. Take it away, Kate…Worst two opening acts, ever. Thankfully, the jiving astronaut and Golden Girls in drag distract me from the ass cracks being projected on stage by the first opening act, CX KiDTRONiK. I'.

But praise be to Pittsbur...
