"Girl Talk: I'm Not a DJ" flashed the giant video screens next to the stage at NYC's Hiro Ballroom Thursday night. And yet, there was GT's Gregg Gillis front and center, surrounded by a crush of sweaty twenty-somethings dancing to his dizzying mash-ups of Top 40 radio and kitschy classics.

With a mind-bending mash-up of underground gems, top 40 hits, and vintage classics, Pittsburgh's Gregg Gillis, a.k.a. Girl Talk, always gets the party started. And Saturday night's show -- the first in a sold-out three-night stand at Manhattan's Terminal 5 -- was certainly no exception as confetti flew and fans danced onstage.
