The Cannes International Film Festival wrapped up its run this evening, and while this may have very little in part to do with Portland, OR dance-punk outfit Gossip, this post is about them. The trio, appearing at the Grand Journal...

See if The Gossip will be dancing into your town soon!

#26: Gossip - Music For Men Much has been made of Beth Ditto's dominance of The Gossip, her media presence dwarfing that of the other members. Fact is, it's with very good reason. Her voice is one of the decade's most distinctive; a cross between Dolly Parton's country warble and Tina Turner. Married to lyrics that blur so many boundaries it may as well be Kashmir and barnstorming disco backing and it's a tremendously potent weapon. Music For Men followed the band's huge success of Standing In The Way Of [...]

Tonight at 12:30 midnight (a.m.), The Gossip will be featured live from the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC on NPR's All Songs Considered . The group plays live in concert as a feature on the show, which is hosted this week by Carrie Brownstein who's passion it is to convince ASC's Bob Boilen of the group and in particular Beth Ditto's genius. Carrie, from her NPR blog Monitor Mix writes, "Bob claims that Beth Ditto has plenty of swagger, but that she lacks vocal dynamics. I think her strength lies in the way [...]

The forthcoming album was produced by Rick Rubin . The band have also announced a North American tour in support of the new album. The jaunt is set to kick off October 7 in Washington, DC.

I love their new album.. great performance by Beth here as she takes her strutting up into the audience on German TV. GOSSIP has been a band for 10 years. We have just finished our fourth long player. We called it 'Music for Men'. Rick Rubin stroked his beard and smiled while we played drums. We were in Malibu for quite a while. We couldn't find any donuts there. We camped out in Bob Dylans old tour bus and wondered why we don't like [...]

On their song "Love Long Distance," The Gossip revels in the late disco/early house fetishism that Kathy Diamond and Hercules and Love Affair used to great effect--this song is unreasonably good. Unfortunately, the rest of their angry disco won't make friends in the club--useless aggression has its consequences. Reminds us of: The Scissor Sisters | Hercules & Love Affair | The Deadly Snakes Gossip: ( Official / MySpace ) gossip music for men
Gossip 's new album Music For Men turns out to be much better than I expected. Sure, it's far more polished and produced than anything the band has done before, but once you get past the new "pop" element they're working, it turns out to be a solid, fun album. "Love Long Distance" is the second single and it comes with the trivial but harmless video above.

The Gossip have premiered the music video for ' Love Long Distance '. The track is off the band's latest album, Music For Men . Music For Men is the band's fourth studio album and is now out. Watch the video here . The Gossip
Los chicos de Gossip estan presentando un nuevo video del sencillo de su ultima producción Music For Men se trata de la canción "Love Long Distance" en el cual se puede ver a la Ditto y compañía como personajes que tienen la cabeza tan enorme como un globo de colores mientras se encuentran patinando sobre ruedas. La idea me ha parecido muy buena y original, a ver que les parece a ustedes. Comparte esta anotación

Nuestro ammmigo MMMatthias (no nos cansaremos de escribir tres emes cada vez que hablemos de él) nos manda un remmmix que hizo, junto con su amigo dAi , a '8th wonder', que es del album que sale hoy en Inglaterra Music For Men de Gossip . Está simplemente desnalgador y espero que le saquen provecho, pues hasta en 320 se la dejamos. Pendidente de este dAi, que he visto por ahí remixes de Mr. Oizo y Digitalism, por nombrar algunos (les dejo un stream). Enjoy [...]
The passion fruit of a weekend of labor for one of our favorite people to get emails from, MMMathias , finds the man working with his friend/compatriot dAi on "8th Wonder", a song off of the latest record from The Gossip , Music For Men . The 48-hour treatment puts the breaks on singer Beth Ditto's wailing and usual fits and spurts and instead filters her vocals through an extrusion of stutter-steps and leaves the real drama to the wiry, all-too-angled arrangements. (mp3) The Gossip - 8th Wonder (dAi vs MMMatthias [...]
Thick bass, clean guitar plucking, precision drumming and a set of pipes that'll make a Baptist gospel choir jealous equals Gossip, a band with roots in the farming towns of Arkansas. After a first listen, I wondered why this band hasn't taken over the indie music scene. Then I realized I'd rather not have them [...]

You can also check out Gossip 's new album over at Spinner , probably through Monday 6/22. (Say, when did they drop the 'the' from their name?) The record is titled Music For Men , will be released June 23rd and was produced by Rick Rubin , who MTV called "the most important producer of the last 20 years". Well then. . The Portland-based band is fronted, as you know, by the Aretha Franklin of Punk [...]
