in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) June 25, 2009 3:04 pm
Gossip return with their third album, the Rick Rubin-produced Music For Men. It furthers the sounds found on the band's previous albums, which is a melding of post-punk, disco and funk.

in
By Mike Bax (CHARTattack) June 14, 2010 1:26 pm
I'm typing the majority of this review back at my campsite — as Michael Franti & Spearhead play the last few songs of their set. There's a pocket of two-and-a-half hours between Franti and The Flaming Lips' midnight performance in which the only band playing is Kings Of Leon.

By CHARTattack Staff August 5, 2009 2:10 pm
The clip for Gossip's disco-inflected "Love Long Distance" appropriately features roller skating, spandex suits and people with animated heads that are as large as disco balls. What message are we supposed to take from this? That spandex reduces blood flow to the brain? KIDDING. Music For Men was digitally released in June.

Gossip — "Heavy Cross"

in
By CHARTattack Staff June 15, 2009 11:58 am
Gossip's video for "Heavy Cross," the first single from the upcoming Music For Men, features singer Beth Ditto dressed up in enough glitter to make a gay man jealous. (We're kidding.)
