The Inquisition: Girl Talk

It's a stifling July day in Pittsburgh, and Gregg Gillis, a.k.a. Girl Talk, is dressed accordingly: soccer shorts, white T-shirt, and a bandanna around his forehead. After releasing 2006's Night Ripper, the pop-savvy cut-and-paster quit his biomedical engineer job and went from playing tiny underground venues to chaotic dance parties around the globe. With this summer's pay-what-you-want online release of Feed the Animals (Illegal Art) -- an album composed of more than 300 unauthorized samples -- Gillis, 26, has made another bold, potentially litigious artistic statement. But he remains humble: "If I have a long-term career in music, it'll be a surprise to me."
