" Seventeen is heading south to Bonnaroo this year and all of the excitement is starting right now! Bonnaroo is a huge music festival held every year in Manchester, TN. Artists from every genre come and rock out underneath the blazing sun, and it&amp;#039;s amazing. This year&amp;#039;s main attractions include Eminem, Lil&amp;#039; Wayne, Arcade Fire, The Strokes, Girl Talk, Robyn, Florence + The Machine and tons of others! The event kicked off recently with a teleconference where I got to talk to Gregg Gillis (Girl Talk!) about his music, and the festival. If you have not heard of Girl Talk, go download all of his albums right now! It&amp;#039;s the best kind of package deal you can possibly get. He&amp;#039;s led the mashup genre by compiling the best beats and lyrics from every kind of song imaginable to create...magical mixes (seriously, it&amp;#039;s the ultimate getting-ready playlist). Here&amp;#039;s what Gregg had to say: 17: If you could mash up any two acts at Bonnaroo who would they be? What would it sound like? GG: Well I&amp;#039;ve definitely sampled a few of the people playing, like Eminem and Lil&amp;#039; Wayne. I love sampling Lil&amp;#039; Wayne. I think he&amp;#039;s one of the most exciting characters in the past 10 years of hip hop. So I would choose Little Wayne as the vocal source and I guess for a backing music maybe I would sample drums from Primus, I love that in Primus, the rhythm section is naturally the focal point. And then I would add melody from Neil Young-he&amp;#039;s playing with Buffalo Springfield as a guest right now. 17: That sounds amazing. Now you&amp;#039;d never see people in jeans and tee at a Girl Talk show. What&amp;#039;s the perfect outfit for one of your shows? GG: It&amp;#039;s funny. It varies. A lot of people wear those full body suits, like Green Man from It&amp;#039;s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Those are very popular and then, I wear sweats on stage, always-just stuff that&amp;#039;s easy to get rid of and tear off your body. It&amp;#039;s all about the athletic gear. I think people know it&amp;#039;s going to be an athletic event, so keep your heels at home. For me, a nice pair of Starter shorts and maybe a hooded sweatshirt that you can take off, and a tank top would be perfect. Anything you would wear to gym class is very typical of Girl Talk. 17: You must have a huge adrenaline rush every time you perform. What&amp;#039;s the most memorable thing a fan has done to contribute to that rush? GG: The peek for me, is that people get on stage at all of the shows. It&amp;#039;s a little more controlled now, but back in the day it was complete chaos at times. There&amp;#039;d be hundreds and hundreds of people up there and no room to move. What do you think about Girl Talk? Are you a fan of his mashups? Sound off in the comments!  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
