On The Download: Best Club Remixes, Summer 2008

July 18, 2008

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

OK, this is probably not gonna be a very popular post. Let’s face it, an increasingly smaller and smaller group of people actually care about dance / electronic remixes nowadays. There was a glimmer of hope back at the turn of the 21st century, when dance music almost got “cool” again, but it was quickly eclipsed. Sure, every once in a while the occasional Paul Oakenfeld mix crosses over, but dance ain’t what it used to be.

Still, I’m a big fan of the genre. And believe it or not, Billboard still tracks it on their Singles Charts.

So, without further adieu, click inside for my Top 10 Club Remixes of Summer 2008…:

LONDON, U.K. --

In an excerpt from “Life With My Sister Madonna” that appeared in the Mail on Sunday, the pop icon’s brother, Christopher Ciccone, shed light on the inner workings of Madonna’s marriage to Guy Ritchie – a marriage now under public duress as rumors of divorce and the singer’s links to baseball superstar Alex Rodriguez continue to swirl.

“Their life together is sometimes difficult,” Ciccone wrote in the U.K. newspaper. “A Kabbalah rabbi would regularly come down from London to mediate between them. This does not surprise me. I believe that Kabbalah is helping keep Guy and Madonna together.”

On The Download: On 2nd Listen… Madonna’s ‘Hard Candy’

May 20, 2008

OK, I admit it – on first listen, I HATED Madonna’s latest album, “Hard Candy.”

And I’m a huge Madonna fan — I don’t have posters on my walls and I’m not a fan club member — but I’ve truly loved each of her past four albums — she makes pop music at it’s purest — and yes, I even liked “American Life.”

The first songs from the album, “Candy Shop” and “The Beat Goes On,” leaked months ago, and confirmed my worst fears – that Madge was dialing it in for her last studio album of new material with Warner Bros. (she’s recently signed a $100 million deal with LiveNation for recording and touring).

But, as is often the case, after setting the album aside, and listening to it again, there are some true gems on there.
