Let’s Gossip, Folks

After the sturm und drang of the corporate media machine, Portland’s Gossip are quietly posting new music on their myspace. Singer Beth Ditto has been giving me the chills- the boldest cover girl, video diva and mouthy front woman has lead her band to indie stardom. I would have never thought a pro-fat, tranny chasing punk could get so much mainstream attention. Props. Lucky us, as we wait for a new record there have been countless remixes and never ending tours. Run over and have a listen at their new songs 8th Wonder, Spare Me From the Mold and Heavy Kross, and don’t be afraid to give them some feedback. They are still small enough to get your note, and their recent success might require some humbling. Also, here are some remixes and mashups you might have heard already…
A Plus D–Gossip vs. Elastica
Eve Massacre–Gossip vs. Loverboy
Kitsune Maison–Gossip vs. Dangerous Dan vs. Nicky Van She (Gossip Around the World)
Gossip–Yr Mangled Heart (Linus Loves Remix)
Gossip–Jealous Girls (Tommie Sunshine Remix)
Gossip–Jealous Girls (NYPC Remix)
Buy Gossip’s music from their label Kill Rock Stars, itunes, or Back Yard
