Gossip + NYPC
1 February 2007 :: posted by TravisOMG!!! This is what happens when two of the world’s best bands totally collide. New Young Pony Club remixing the Gossip!! I’ve been waiting weeks to hear this remix in it’s entirety and yeah… I’m not disapointed. Short story: this is a perfect blend of both bands… like if Beth Ditto fronted New Young Pony Club. This thing totally explodes the last minute.
Ok, I know I’m not saying anything halfway intelligent because I’m in total fanboy ecstasy right now. Just listen.
The Gossip - “Jealous Girls” (NYPC 12″ remix) (mp3)
I’m not even pretending it’s is a perfect rip. Sooo.. go buy the record when it’s officially released Monday in the UK. Not holding my breath that KRS will release this in the US. The single is backed by a Tommie Sunshine remix which is great too — but nothing surprising as far as Tommie Sunshine goes.
Related: NYPC and the Gossip will be DJing Modular’s UK party at Turnmills on February 24th. The entire line up is fucking incredible: MSTRKRFT + Green Velvet + Klaxons (DJ) + New Young Pony Club (DJ) + Hot Chip (DJ) + The Gossip (DJ) + Ajax + Para One (live) + Modular DJs. Make me jealous and go to that.
Skins commercial with “SITWOC”
And if you don’t live in the UK, you might’ve missed that the Gossip’s “SITWOC” was used in a commercial for a new UK TV show called Skins. Wow, After watching that I suddenly feel very, very old. Of course we’ll get our own American version of Skins in about three years: I’m sure it’ll be on NBC, minus the drugs and sex. AND it’s guaranteed to be set in a coffee shop and have a non-stop laugh track throughout the entire show… and they’ll probably cast 30 year olds to play 16 year old virgins. But anyway.
goddamnit, that looks entertaining. yeah, that won’t play in america…

Great track, thank you.
As one who lives in the UK I had the misfortune of watching Skins. Rubbish. Pretty much most of our TV’s that way unfortunately. Still, viva la musica!!

Yeap, Skins is shite! Cool ad for it though!
And what is the obsession with the American TV networks remaking English comedy!?

Skins isn’t too bad. I totally agree with the comment refering to Kids though. it’s a blatant rip off.
New Young Pony remix is ace!

well i live in bristol u.k where it was filmed..
and yeah my youth was just the same and i am 38! all the “E” and coke etc ..
and just saying fuck off to things. it is relevant know as it has always been.
btw i dont do drugs anymore. but it is a funny prog, really clued up on what the british youth are doing.. drugs in the u.k is very common .. to the fact that, u can get drugs easier than buying a beer!!
it is a good series i dunno if they are gonna do another series becuase channel 4 (the producers) i think have got cold feet.
hollis.
