I’m looking forward to hearing/seeing this one. Here’s the blurb from Sony -

Recorded live in concert on July 9, 2007, “Gossip - Live In Liverpool” brilliantly captures and focuses the stunning ferocity, energy and intensity at the heart of Gossip’s groundbreaking meld of sound + politics. This incendiary concert showcase breaks out definitive performances of Gossip signature tunes including the band’s UK #1 Indie chart-topping smash, “Standing In The Way Of Control”; the UK Top 40 hit, “Listen Up”; and the #3 UK Indie track, “Jealous Girls” in addition to delightfully provocative covers of Wham!’s “Careless Whisper” and Aaliyah’s “Are You That Somebody?”

“Gossip - Live In Liverpool” includes a DVD of the concert, lensed by documentary filmmaker and music video director Lance Bangs (Sonic Youth, Green Day, R.E.M., Death Cab For Cutie, Kanye West, Pavement, Mike Watt and more).

The video for Chris Walla’s ‘Sing Again’ hit the in-box yesterday courtesy of Barsuk Records. Now, all of you in the know obviously know that the esteemed producer and guitarist for Death Cab For Cutie lives here in sunny Portland. It makes sense then that the video was shot here in PDX and hopefully it will be better received than the latest Hollywood flick to be shot here, Untraceable, starring Diane Lane.
