Beth Ditto of Gossip
Hot off Twitter, Gossip have said they are currently in the studio recording with Mark Ronson! No word on how many songs are being worked on (read: let’s pray for a full album) or release dates but one thing is certain: “Rhythm tracks laid down, not one power chord used and zero flutes!”

On April 30, 2010 the Gossip played a sold-out show at New York’s Terminal 5. Lead singer Beth Ditto explains to the crowd that the band recently missed out on playing Saturday Night Live due to the Icelandic volcano eruption and flight cancellation aftermath. As you’ll see from the following video, Beth Ditto really wants to meet Tina Fey. I think we can make Beth’s wish come true. Forward this to all your celebrity friends and let’s get the word out to Tina Fey.
On your mark. Get set. Go!

Beth Ditto of The Gossip
On April 30, 2010, The Gossip played a sold-out show at New York’s Terminal 5. This is my 3rd time seeing Beth Ditto and company perform (the other 2 times were pre-According2g). I think they are fantastic! They unfortunately suffer from what I call “Scissor Sisters Syndrome,” which means they sell out large venues all over Europe and in their home country of the United States, for reasons I can’t figure out, they have not achieved super-star status. Beth Ditto has an amazing voice and her energy on stage is hard to beat. The last time I saw The Gossip, I was about 5 rows back from the stage and while the crowd was pretty rowdy throughout the show, all hell broke loose during their cover of George Michael’s “Careless Whisper.” It was truly a sight to behold. Before the band hit the stage, Mr. Showbiz himself, Murray Hill introduced The Gossip. They played classic songs “Standing In The Way Of Control,” “Listen Up,” “Yr Mangled Heart” and new songs off their latest release ‘Music For Men,’ such as “Pop Goes The World,” “Heavy Cross,” and “Dimestore Diamond.” I’m sure the full set list will circulate shortly and when it does, I’ll update this post. (See below for the update.) In between songs, Beth Ditto mentioned attending the Hole concert which happened earlier in the week at the same venue. She sang a brief a cappella version of “Live Through This,” and she also mentioned that the recent Icelandic volcano disaster forced them to cancel an appearance on Saturday Night Live. Hopefully that will be rescheduled, because I am not one to Gossip, but I think if a wider audience gets the opportunity to hear this band, they will learn what myself and the crowd at Terminal 5 already know – this band kicks ass!
Standing in the way of control.
