Gossip's Brace Paine has made an awesome New Year's mix available to download on his blog. The mix is a collection of "fairly obscure" records and tapes he's been listening to. I've definitely never heard of most of the music on the mix, but there's some really great stuff on it that you should check out!
You can download the mix from ART THROB and here's a song from it to get you even more interested!

I came upon this a while ago, but kept forgetting to post about it. Brace Paine (or Nathan Howdeshell if you prefer) does a really awesome blog on tumblr called ART THROB. He mostly posts weird and arty photos with youtube videos, songs, and personal Gossip pics sprinkled in. It's definitely worth checking out if you have some time to kill.
As an aside, Gossip will be headlining a US tour with MEN this fall, so be sure to catch them in your town. Click here for US tour dates and, to get you excited about the tour, here are a couple of tracks from the bands!

Now I'm not a big fan of dance remixes. They tend to beat the original and try to expand it from a perfect 3 minute song into a 9 minute club jam. Did Goldfrapp's "Slide In" really need a 12 minute remix, DFA? No! Which brings me to Fred Falke's remix of Gossip's "Heavy Cross". The song in itself was pretty good to begin with: Thumping bass, handclaps, the occasional pitter patter of synths, Beth Ditto screaming her hot-chub ass all over it. Fred Falke literally took her voice and painted it over a synth filld dreamy landscape for 8 minutes...and I love it! In a time where remixes have become sloppy let's-just-add-an-extra-800bpm-to-this, Fred Falke has taken a song given to him and reimagined it. "Heavy Cross" has become an entirely new song for me. I might even like the remix better. Gossip should think about doing an EP of electro-pop jams. It could totally be cool. In fact, I've been dreaming of the day where Brace Paine would lay a fucking punk rock distorted solo over a 4/4 808 beat.
