In 2009, I will break more news stories and turn into an investigative reporting blog. I recently uncovered an exclusive story within the memesphere. I was searching through old video archives to see how pre-internet pop culture influenced today's artists and their aesthetic gimmicks.
I was watching this clip of Full House where Stephanie Tanner starts a band with Kimmy Gibbler and they play an Ace of Base Cover [via "I Saw the Sign"].
and I noticed something kinda weird about the name of their band...
THE GIRL TALKS--just like Greg Gillis.
This is the kind of reporting that Pitchfork, the Stereogums, and the Daily Swarm need 2 b doing yall. I am just a meme blog. I'm not ready 2 accidentally find out that I've been lied 2 my whole alternative life.
If I had know that the Girl Talks had stolen their name from Girl Talk, a tween Ace of Base coverband, would I still be a 'fan'? I don't know the answer 2 that question.
Just h8 being lied 2. Will probz stop blggng abt the Girl Talks now. Feel like my parents told me I was adopted or something.

[miss u]
John Stamos is like Madonna. He has found a way to reinvent himself and stay cool all these years.
R u going 2 burn ur copy of 'Feed the Animals'?
Girl Talks
are u okay bro?
U kinda 'fell off hard'
kinda mad worried about you
You used to be all about 'bringing the party'
but college bros and mainstreamers wanna party too
So u sorta went mainstream
and I guess now u make tons of money playing colleges
and also Middle American music festivals
But this week’s free concert, featuring Memory Tapes and Pittsburgh artist Gregg Gillis, aka Girl Talk, wasn’t nearly as packed.
Twilight officials estimated the crowd at 20,000 people, half of the number from the first week’s concert, which featured Modest Mouse.
Guess that's chill bro
Sweet gig in Utah, bringing the party to Mormon bros
Once saw a movie called "SLC Punk" and they seemed kinda alt/meaningful
Just want u 2 be happy
as long as u tell me ur happy, that's chill with me
Maybe u need a new gimmick
a new PR agent
maybe ur fine
i don't know these things
just wish u'd drop a meme for us to <3/h8 sometime
Until then we'll just miss u
we'll miss the past when we would get on stage and grind on entry level pussie
until the stage collapsed
Have yall been worried about Girl Talk?
Will Girl Talk ever 'make a comeback'?
Can Girl Talk stay relevant 4evr?
Does Girl Talk make more money than the majority of indie artists by touring?
Which former alt star / blog famous artist do u want to know "WHERE ARE THEY NOW?"
What happens to buzzbands after they die? Do they get 'real jobs' or are they unskilled and forced to work at a coffee shop where people will recognize them daily?
Girl Talk is a laptop DJ who got big in the bloghouse era but really just produces generic, well-branded mix tapes.
Some lonely bro on the internet made a website that 'identifies' every sample off Girl Talk's previous album "Feed the Animals." I think this might have been useful 2-5 years ago, but I just wanted to take time to 'reintroduce' Girl Talk as a bloggable meme. Really only using this post as an excuse to ask "WTF happened 2 Girl Talk? Bro really fell off my radar."
Sorta wonder what happened to that bro. I remember back in the day when he was 'the ultimate blogworthy artist' since he mashed up so many songs back when we all 'just wanted to party ironically' instead of listening to boring indie rock. He sorta embodied the spirit of the Hype Machine back before the Hype Machine turned in2 a 'poo poo shitter' of mashup SEO mp3s.
Do u miss the spirit of Girl Talk?
Were u ever 'on stage' dancing right next to that bro?
Whatever happened 2 Girl Talk?
Do u still listen to his hit album Night Ripper?
Did he retire?
Is he just making mad bank as a college DJ?
Are music festivals still looking to book Girl Talk, or are they only interested in new buzzbands?
Did Girl Talk ever win respect as a 'real DJ'?
Will Girl Talk ever have the chance to win critical acclaim now that the chillwave era has redefined the mainstream perception of indie sample based music?
Will Girl Talk 'come back' and try to compete in the modern state of the buzzosphere?
IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT GIRL TALKS / Greg Gillis, PLEASE SHARE IT IN THE COMMENT SECTION. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME U SAW THAT BRO?
