giving a new meaning to girl talk

I'm no good at witty puns or anything (as one could probably tell from the title of this), but I decided to give it a try.

Girl talk is the slang term that consists of gossip-y chatter between girls, pertaining to topics involving boys, school happenings... mainly boys. Although according to good ole Wikipedia, Girl Talk also is a board game, a British female duo of the '80s, and a series of children's books. But more importantly, Girl Talk is a DJ, that's kinda been all the rage, lately (I guess not so much lately, but as of this day and age). Gregg Gillis (Girl Talk's real name) specializes in mash-up style remixes, or he takes snippets from tons of songs (from bands/artists) and combines them to form a song that is fit for the ultimate dance party.  The artists range from Beyonce, Wu-Tang Clan, Cheap Trick, etc.  With his latest album, Feed the Animals being released this past summer, Gillis' fanbase has grown tremendously.

Girl Talk is playing at Terminal 5 down in the city, with the first two dates being sold out already. A third and final additional show was added and you can buy tickets here. So go, have a good time and dance your pants off! I'm serious.
