Pick of the Week: The Gossip

Sure, I’m a little OCD about the way I do certain things.  One of those things being the way I fill a record bag.  For each party, I have to have at least five new songs that I’ve never played in a set before.  This is actually a lot harder than you might think.  But thank you Gossip for making it almost simple for this last round of preparation.

Their newest release, Music For Men, pretty much spills over with diamonds for us DJs.  After spending the past week with this record, it was easy to make favorites with Heavy Cross, Men In Love, For Keeps, Pop Goes The World and Four Letter Word.  I ended up playing every last one of them Wednesday night at Metro.  I get the feeling this album might make The Gossip one of my “certain things.”
