Shakira - She Wolf bombs Stateside

There’s no accounting for taste, Shakira’s latest single “She Wolf” is a bonafide hit in the UK but its a different story in the US where the slick disco sounds have failed to capture American radio’s imagination. Strange as its the only Shakira record I’ve ever liked (hey what do I know), her nascent warbles mellowed by the futuristic grooves.

Check out this really rather good remix from Filur

Shakira - She Wolf - Filur Remix

P.S Poor Shakira surrounded by all those sharks!

Bestival is nearly upon us!

Bestival is nearly upon us, the line up looks brilliant and the weather looks like its going to be fine..hurrah! I havent got round to going to a festival yet this year so its run for your bunkers for me..big speaker + head in it + loud repetitive beats = fun fun fun!

Turn this up loud! Its 1992 all over again!!

Last Rhythm - Tom Middleton remix

The inspiration for the new Scissor Sisters album

Here’s the inspiration for the new Scissor Sisters album (due March next year), according to a recent interview with Jake from the band on Popjustice. Its going to be produced by Stuart Price (Madonna, Killers, Thin White Duke, Zoot Woman) and promises to be ” “a ‘night time’ record - supersexual and sleazy”"..Stuart Price + Scissor Sisters + Supersexual & Sleazy = Fun!

P.S What do we thing Skatt Brothers means?! Answers on a postcard.

Peaches - Take You On

The delicious Peaches ways in with a new video for her forthcoming single Take You On..lovely clanky electro..

Paloma Sizzles

Another sizzling remix of Paloma Faith’s New York, this time from remixers of the moment Starsmith

Friendly Fires - Skeleton Boy

Nice!

Annie - Anthonio - Fred Falke Remix

Mr Wunderbar Fred Falke works his magic on this lovely track from the underated Annie..

Madonna - New single Celebration - good, bad, indifferent..

Here’s the new Madonna track lifted off her forthcoming “definitive” Greatest Hits collection, this version sounds slightly sped up..it kind of works but sounds a like one of those anonymous dance records that Radio 1 slips on their playlist that you quite enjoy when they play..check out the Benny Benassi remix below which works better..

Placebo - Special Needs

Love this song..fond memories!

Robbie - He’s back!

Robbie is back with a single in October and album in November, both produced by we-are-not-worthy /I’m-a-legend Trevor Horn, so should be interesting see what the music sounds like. Rumour has it the album is up against the JLS album…let the show down begin…
