Web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor takes on copyright laws and their importance in the quickly growing Mash-up genre with his new documentary, RiP!: A Remix Manifesto. Gaylor focuses his attention on the poster boy of Mash-up music, Gregg Gillis aka Girl Talk, as they both work to make the case that remixing is form [...]
I can guarantee one thing: Sasquatch will not pull a Langerado. A handful of big names overlap with Bonnaroo, but that’s not a bad thing considering how far apart they are from each other: Sasquatch is in Washington state and Bonnaroo (lineup) is in Tennessee.

The king of summer festivals is back on the beautiful 700-acre Manchester farm in June (11th-14th), and the announcement of (some of) the performers came this morning. The lineup is packed full of big names and great accompanying artists. Metallica and Kanye are gone this year (YES!), and Phish is bringing back Bonnaroo as a [...]

Langerado regulars are going to have some initial backlash with the news of this year’s festival: it has been cut back down to three days and worst of all camping has been eliminated from the equation! Also the location has changed from the Big Cypress Indian Reservation to Bicentennial Park in Miami. But don’t get [...]
Ever wondered who Girl Talk is when he’s not behind his laptop making those party-perfect tunes? Well, his name is Gregg Gillis and he’s not as hyper as you’d think. In this episode of “Daytripping”, Girl Talk, a few of his friends, and the Pitchfork camera crew head to Coney Island and document the experience [...]
Speaking with MTV at Lollapalooza, Girl Talk announced his plans for a 24 hour show to be held on December 21, 2012: the end of the Mayan calendar which some people think will be the end of the world. His newest LP Feed The Animals was released in June, and it appears it might be [...]
