Here’s a band I was only vaguely familiar with until a day ago. I’m sure I’m out of the loop, as usual. Beth Ditto has an amazing voice, even though I can’t understand much of what she’s singing. And look, the drummer is female, too! I saw this video of The Gossip (headed by Beth Ditto) on David Letterman:
I get sick of simpering, “quantized, pitch-corrected, and overly inspected” (to quote Henry Rollins by way of Ben Folds and William Shatner) vocals in pop music, so it’s nice to hear something powerful that isn’t also ballad-esque.

I always try to watch Letterman and Conan’s musical guests, I discover a lot of cool music that way… not a very “hipster” way of doing it, but it works for me…
