For a few years now, LA-based duo Michael David and Tyler Blake – Classixx to you and me – have been remixing. Phoenix , The Gossip , Active Child and The Ting Tings are among the outfits to have had songs treated to the pair’s summer-softened, bliss-exhaling interpretations and it’s been clear from these that David and Blake are two producers pleasantly in thrall to the atmospheric loveliness of their home state, and the musical possibilities it suggests. This summer, [...]

The Presets are performing at the Odgen Theater tomorrow co-headlining with Dragonette and openers Classixx. In all honesty, the three could be headlining the evening with strong new(ish) albums from both the Presets and SoCal's Classixx. The Presets' latest release, "Pacifica," has a tinge of Darren Emerson from Underworld sprinkled for good measure on Australia's best hope to follow in the footsteps of Cut Copy. "Pacifica" is a step in the right direction of using more instruments versus leaning too much on the electronic element with a more organic feel compared to previous efforts. Classixx's "Hanging Gardens" [...]

Let's start the week with some wise words from Beth and Co ....
Beth Ditto plays a waitress, car saleswoman, masseuse and much more in the Gossip's hilarious "Get A Job" video, which brings the horror of browsing the classifieds to life. Take five, watch, and then get back to work! "Get A Job" is from the album A Joyful Noise , out now!

Uno de los ridículos trabajos que ofrece Beth Ditto Beth Ditto y compañía estrenaron el nuevo video para Gossip , se trata de la canción "Get a Job" del álbum del año pasado, A Joyful Noise. En este corte la banda saca todo un arsenal de posibles trabajos, de los cuales todos apestan. Con lo típicos trucos mercadotécnicos de "Gana más dinero" o "Atractivas comisiones", cada trabajo por el que pasan Ditto, Nathan "Brace Paine" Howdeshell y Hannah Blilie es más ridículo que el anterior. ¿Se imagina a Beth Ditto de masajista [...]
Après un petit temps d'absence, Gossip est de retour en ce mois de Février avec un nouveau clip pour le titre Get A Job . Une vidéo qui nous plonge dans le botin avec de nombreuses petites annonces animées dans lesquelles on retrouve les membres du groupe.
Este año Gossip lo inició dando a conocer el lanzamiento de un nuevo sencillo de nombre " Seems So Bad ", con lo cual también decidieron dar a conocer un remix inédito que le hicieron a uno de los mejores momentos del álbum debut de Fever Ray , así que podemos decir que hasta el momento Gossip está teniendo un año, interesante. Ahora, es tiempo de echarle un ojo al vídeo que acaban de presentar para "Get A Job", el cual me parece que no necesita de mucha introducción ya que él mismo les dirá [...]
All's been quiet on the Gossip front as of late, but they must have been working very hard to put together their video for the new single "Get a Job," which is a shiny, clever little gem of classified ads brought brilliantly to life. Bombshell Beth Ditto assumes a seemingly endless stream of roles — as do Brace Paine and Hannah Blilie — from diner waitress to massage therapist and, well, everything in between. Mostly, the fun is in getting to see the band go high-concept in a lot of goofy costumes: "'Get [...]
