Album #5 from Gossip is "A Joyful Noise" and it's on Columbia. It's indie rock or techno pop - whatever - it's the vocals of front gal Beth Ditto that makes this trio go. She's a powerhouse and they may have cemented their place in rock history as well as the real world of work with their catchy and insistent, "Get A Job;" a tune that would be perfect, recycled endlessly as you're on hold for 17 hours trying to talk to a real person (who doesn't speak English, anyway) when you call the unemployment office. Too many of the others are interchangeable and forgettable disco tunes, but Ditto definitely has a cool voice; oh, and love the album cover.
