Get yourself Audiomulch and Adobe Audition, and you too can be a star. These are the tools of Gregg Gillis, a.k.a. Girl Talk. Gillis has built a reputation and a following as an amazing mashup artist, and also as just a good show. Describing himself humbly as a "pop music enthusiast," Gillis has a huge breadth of genres in his collection, and mixes them with no respect for any boundaries... which, according to his fans, is for the best.

Gearwire's Gretchen Hasse sat down with Girl Talk at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago this July. He's modest, but thorough in his work habits - click on the audio and hear part one of the Gearwire interview.
