Remember growing up as a girl in middle school or high school and you’d have those slumber parties with all of your bestest girl friends? You’d all sit around in the living room, giggling about the cute boys in your school and hating on the ugly girl in school. All having your little girl talk….well this is about a whole other kind of Girl Talk. His name is Greg Gillis, and he’s coming for you!

Gillis is a mash-up DJ, throwing everything you’ve ever heard in your life into one big melting pot of hipster dancey goodness. And footage of his live shows makes one wish they were at that party, acting crazy like a fool. But he is doing a tour this fall, so try to catch one of his shows to catch what all the girls talk about.

His work consists of four albums including new release, “Feed The Animals”, which can only be found here on his website for a “name your own price” deal. An actual cd release will arrive later this year. Still don’t believe the hype? Then hit up his myspace or some rocking YouTube clips:

Or how about a whole 52 minute New Years Eve concert

Please let me start by saying that I’m not having some crisis about my age. I’m only 26. I have no reason as to why I’ve been reminiscing about my childhood days so much lately. Maybe I just miss them. Don’t we all? Maybe it could be because I still feel closer to being 15 than I do being 30. Either way, I’m always up late at night. If I can’t find the motivation to work or if I go to bed just to lay awake, I have no choice but to watch TV to entertain myself. Besides infomercials and really bad soft-core porn on Cinemax, the only thing to watch are reruns of old sitcoms. It got me to thinking - these shows from the 80’s and early 90’s were great! I remember as a kid hearing about how TV would be the downfall for my generation. Maybe in some instances I see where media and TV may have failed us, but overall - I have to strongly disagree with that statement.

I had a great childhood. My grandma raised me from the time I was 3 years old. She was the best parent a kid could ever wish for. Whenever I asked one of those “life” questions she always had an answer. I never got any fairy tales (ie - the stork) because she was always very straight forward and honest - without any sugar coating. Looking back now, I completely appreciate that. But there are times in every child’s life when the answer comes before the question. There are also times when life lessons heard can hit you the same as life lessons learned. With that being said… Thinking back - all of those TV shows I watched as a child really taught me a lot… (more…)
