Beth Ditto and Geoffrey Dicker
I love Gossip! Not actual gossip, but the band Gossip. The trio was in town to perform a record release show for their great new album “A Joyful Noise” which was released on May 22, 2012. If you don’t know the music of Gossip, definitely check them out. And on new tracks such as “Move in the Right Direction” just try and sit still while the song plays. It’s impossible! They started off as a punk rock band (and lead singer Beth Ditto has a set of pipes on her that makes you realize she was born to perform) and have recently been exploring dancier territory.

If you’ve never seen Gossip live, I highly recommend it as their shows are high energy with Beth Ditto running all over the stage and they tend to always throw in an unexpected cover. In the past, I’ve heard Grace Jones’ “Pull Up To The Bumper” and Wham’s “Careless Whisper.”

Thanks Gossip for rockin’ and, of course, for being so cool!

G of According2g.com
3 years ago on this very day, I was just your typical songwriter and published author with some words, some photos and a dream.
Flash forward 3 years later… According2G.com has posted original content 7 days a week ever since.
By the numbers: over 10,000 one of a kind photos have been posted, over 5,000 posts are live and from the feedback I have received, I’ve turned people on from across the globe to artists and musicians they wouldn’t have otherwise discovered! For that, I am truly proud. There are a lot of blogs out there on the net and I can tell you from experience that you will rarely find a site that is updated as often as this one is, with insight from someone that actually attends the events they write about.
As a result, my stories have been quoted by bands and news sites that I love and in addition, artists and musicians who are my heroes have shown me tremendous love and respect. These are the kinds of things that money can’t buy.
You cannot even imagine the hours I spend going to events, researching stories, uploading photos and writing blog posts. For the smiles I hope to put on your faces every day, this labor of love has paid off in spades.
Please feel free to pass these stories onto your friends and colleagues. Post them on Facebook and your favorite social networking sites! Follow me on Twitter @according2g. Get in touch with me and let’s collaborate on an art or music project! Most of all, please bookmark the site and check back daily!
Thanks so much for your love and support. I couldn’t have done it without you!
xxx,
G

Jimmy Fallon and Geoffrey Dicker
After a 4 day hiatus from hanging out with and meeting the rich and famous, I am back baby! Ha! Sometimes a boy needs a full night of sleep in this city of a billion things to do. Today, I met comedian and TV show host Jimmy Fallon. He was super cool. You can’t see our legs in the photo, but I assure you, there were no pants on the ground. Thanks Jimmy!

Susan Sarandon and Geoffrey Dicker
I was already in heaven going to another Scissor Sisters show, but it was a completely unexpected surprise to run into the fabulous Academy Award winning actress and activist Susan Sarandon at the show! Like the entire audience, she had a great time and she was super cool when she posed for this photo with me! Thanks Susan! Love you!

Anderson Cooper and Geoffrey Dicker
Anderson Cooper and I have many things in common. Aside from one of the obvious items, we are both gigantic Scissor Sisters fans. I’ve seen him at their shows before and it’s always great to see the so called “Silver Fox” out and about. Despite Anderson’s ‘friend’ giving me the “don’t approach Anderson” face, Anderson Cooper was more than willing to take a photo with me. Even cooler about the experience was the fact that Anderson rode off into the night not in a limo or taxi, but on a bicycle! Thanks again Anderson!
