This past Wednesday, I found myself in a Target store with the intent and purpose of picking up Christina Aguilera’s first greatest hits compilation, Keeps Gettin’ Better: A Decade of Hits. I was offered up two choices: the single disc edition, or the deluxe edition with a bonus DVD of a handful of Xtina’s greatest videos. Clearly, the deluxe edition was the winner.
That night my best friend and I partook in the videos, and what a treat it was! From “Genie In A Bottle” (and that weird blue-fringe shirt)… Read more »

I never thought I’d see the day — and I’m sure neither did he, where 22 year old DJ/Producer from Melbourne would see his own EP come to fruition. It is indeed being released TOMORROW! (The 14th of NOV.2008). I couldn’t BE more thrilled.
You probably mosly know Miami Horror♥ from some pretty smashingly hot and superfresh retro inspired remixies … filled with synth, killerhooks and dancyness!
He’s remixed bands like Pnau, The Presets, Faker, Datarock, Party and Midnight Juggernauts. In the space of a year, he’s turned megastar on the interwebs and blogosphere.… Read more »

One of the PR companies we have been working with sent over this group (three girls) a couple of days ago and were eager to us to throw these girls a review. As long as we fall in love with the music we are more than happy to oblige! And these these three girls from Scandinavia are hot hot hot!
At first listen I thought they had a bit more of an M.I.A. meets Peaches sound, then the more I listened I realized they had more of a CSS meets The… Read more »

Prior to last week, I’d never heard of Micky Green. Then, by chance, the (second) video for her song “Oh!” came across my laptop screen, and I decided to give it a chance and take a listen.
The simple beat, finger snapping and smooth vocals were soothing to my ears, and a nice break from the usual boom-boom-boom bass I’m often zoning out to. I found her album, and was very nicely surprised by what it offered.
White T-Shirt is a modern, yet bare bones, collection of songs. Each somewhat subtle and haunting,… Read more »

If ya’ll haven’t heard this track yet give it a listen. I was surprised and shocked to see that Ace of Base was making a comeback as a threesome! I did not know this but was uber excited when I came across their new version of “Wheel of Fortune” for 2009 off their soon to be greatest hits. I used to be a huge Ace of Base fan, and I might have caught a lot of shit for it in high school but I was a fan regardless. The single… Read more »

While randomly flipping through the television stations a few weeks ago, I noticed that everyone’s favorite eternal twelve-year-old, Mariah Carey had a new video playing on BET. Routinely bored by her recent work, but with nothing on in the afternoon hours before work, I decided to stop and take the song and video in.
I thought the song was rather decent, and decided to download it at work that night. I haven’t given so much ear space to a Mariah Carey song since the beginning of the Emancipation-era with “It’s Like… Read more »

Wow. I have to start off by saying that I’m kinda over the pop songs referencing classics. Rihanna did it best with her S.O.S. remixes, and everything since then has been rather sub par but damn if Hilary Duff’s new single “Reach Out” isn’t hot. It samples “Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus” and at first I wasn’t impressed because of the sampling but the video just premiered today and sold me. Hilary looks phenomenal, dare I say Kylie-esque? The lips, the outfits, the styling for the video all perfect. I… Read more »

Madonna, as an entertainer, is not underrated. However, over the course of her twenty-five year career, many songs get left behind in the mainstream due to the wacky things she does or says. With Jiingo creator Shan and I trekking north to see Her Madgesty tomorrow, I’ve compiled a list of the most, in my opinion, underrated Madonna songs. For all the hardcore Madge-Addicts, check it out and share your own choices. For subtle fans, take a look and find some lost treasures!

There are a couple of bands that are really jiving with my chi. I’ve fully been working overnights doing Xmas setups at the department store — and the IPOD filled with this kind of stuff has helped a horrid experience become like a hot-knife through hemp-butter. Read more »
