I didn't know Columbia records even *had* a gay-friendly label
Submitted by imaginary dana on March 9, 2007.But apparently they do, and they were lucky enough to nab Northwest-faves-turned-NME-darlings The Gossip.
The newbie label is called Music with a Twist and it looks like so far they've only released a soundtrack from the show "The L Word." Anyone know anything else about them?
Congrats to the Gossip, and note to Music with a Twist/Columbia: you'd better treat them right, or you're gonna have some wrathful imaginary karma to deal with.

I can just see the 50-something white men sitting around the table trying to tap into a niche market and realizing that creating a "gay-focused" label could be the ticket to an end of the year bonus. And then naming it Music with a Twist -- likely named because the music bigwigs thought "Huh, huh... they're not STRAIGHT! We're SO CLEVER!" -- is totally LAME!
Although, I'm ALL for signing the Gossip -- they are everything Karen O and the YYY aim to be and deserve to be adored the world over for being genuine and wicked smart with the hooks. But, c'mon. MUSIC WITH A TWIST? Couldn't have been named something much cooler -- like Pussy Galore? That'd be tasty.
