[DID NOT ATTEND: April 29, 2022] Girl Talk / Hugh Augustine
The embarrassment of riches continued on April 29th as there were four more shows I was interested in going to. And what’s so fun about Philadelphia is that among the eight shows in two nights none were in the same venue.
Girl Talk is the stage name of DJ Gregg Michael Gillis. He makes music that is comprised of samples and mashups. His 2010 album All Day album used overlapping samples of 372 songs by other artists.
His live shows are described as an experience not to be missed and so I immediately grabbed a ticket. But the more I learned about the experience–a sweaty, writhing dancing mess of people, I wasn’t really sure I wanted to be a part of it. So I decided to do something else that night instead. I’m not sure if I missed out on something life changing, and I’ll never know.
Hugh Augustine is a rapper, chef and activist.
