That’s some great cover art right there. Madonna’s MDNA, which is a play on her name and a popular drug. She explained the name a little more to Leno saying, “You’ve heard of this drug that produces euphoric feelings of love, MDMA…”
Oh COME ON Posh Spice!!!
Rumour has it that Posh Spice is keen on joining the rest of the bunch for a couple of shows for the Summer Olympics in London, but she’s so busy with her fashion lines that she doesn’t know if she’ll have time. Cripes!
Granted, reunion tours are never the same as when the group was at their height. Maybe because their wardrobe isn’t the same anymore. I want to see union jacks and platforms EVERYWHERE.
I don’t know about you guys, but I remember the day I heard on the radio (yes the radio, back when they actually had breaking news) that the Spice Girls were breaking up. I was sitting in the back of my mom’s van, around 9 years old, and I cried my eyes out. I honestly don’t know if I could ever forgive Ginger for leaving the group. Still.
Unfortunately during their short-lived reunion tour, The SG didn’t come anywhere near where I lived. Plus I was in college with no money. Boo!
Let’s hope Posh will find it in her heart to commit to some Spice Girls shows. And come to me so I can fulfill a childhood dream.
Ladyhawke has a new album coming out March 27th stateside! Check out a remix of “Black, White and Blue” off of her upcoming album, Anxiety.
It’s been a while since we’ve had an album from Jack White, in any of his multiple forms (White Stripes, Raconteurs and the Dead Weather to be exact!) It has been reported that our fave White will be releasing a solo album this year.
White comments on his new body of work, titled Blunderbuss, saying that:
“I’ve put off making records under my own name for a long time but these songs feel like they could only be presented under my name. These songs were written from scratch, had nothing to do with anyone or anything else but my own expression, my own colors on my own canvas.”
According to his youtube channel, the album will drop April 23/24. To tide you over you can download his new single “Love Interruption” on Jan. 31. EEP!
I miss TRL! Something to run home to after the bus dropped you off and dance your afternoon away!
I’m SO obsessed with this song. It’s like light 80’s happy pop.
The perfect way to start your week. Happy Monday!
When jamming to Rihanna‘s Talk That Talk CD (it was the real CD too, how retro!) in my friend’s car this weekend, we noticed a familiar favorite on track number 8 “Drunk on Love”: Rihanna sampled The xx’s beautiful “Intro”. If you haven’t heard of The xx, then listen to their version of “Intro” before you listen to Rihanna’s “Drunk on Love”, because it truly is a great track.
Although I was pleasantly happy that someone covered such a wonderful song (that’s only the intro because The xx’s album is that good), I wish her producer’s wouldn’t have made it so obviously electronic. The twangy synth cheapens the true beauty of The xx’s song. I’m waiting for someone to remix Rihanna’s song over the original xx song so we can hear a seriously hot jam.
Enjoy both songs below, you won’t be disappointed!
The first (and only) time I met Crocodile’s Clock singer Pat G. was in 2008 at a dance club in São Paulo, Brazil called Clube Glória, when she was still in high school and I was studying abroad. (I think it was a Yelle concert but I can’t remember!)
Through the genius of Facebook and social networking, 4 years later I am sipping on coffee on a different continent and listening to her and bandmate Thom Levisky’s new self-titled EP, Crocodile’s Clock. The sweet and simple folk music is reminiscent of summers spent around bonfires contemplating life and love. My favorite track is definitely “Love is Not Enough.” So true!
Singing in both Portuguese and English, the Brazilian duo composed songs on the album that could be in literally any indie movie ever filmed. Their song “Bob’s Song” (although not featured on the EP) was even featured in the soundtrack of the Brazilian movie “As Melhores Coisas do Mundo” (The Best Things in the World).
Check out “Bob’s Song” below and download their free EP here.
A new single is upon us. 01/31/2012
P.S. I love the way she probably does this cover herself. Hawt!
This music will make you feel like you’re on drugs in the best possible way. Or a discotheque circa 8 drinks ago in Europe.
