Hahah after the reissue of her first album and UKtour, she is going for the US in Feb. I sound kinda deluded--but I think she actually could have some success there.

I hope it works out for her -- it would be nice to have someone who can actually sing be on the pop charts.

This is currently #1 on the German iTunes charts and will most likely go to #1 on the Top100 soon:

The comeback single of Alphaville who were pretty succesful in Europe during the 80s:

This was meant to be Burke's single last Spring, but then they went with that Start Without You nonsense in the Summer (granted it gave her a number one, and this will prob make a better UK holiday release when they LOVE their ballads). Anyway, definitely the best slow song RedOne ever produced (might not be saying much) and them adding live strings and harp to the single mix is great--I hope this does well for the re-release.

This is currently #1 on the German iTunes charts and will most likely go to #1 on the Top100 soon:

They've just started playing this a LOT here in Canada (I didn't realize Duck Sauce was half Armand Van Helden). I can't decide if I hate it or love it--I usually despise such repititive dance music, though the song it samples, Gotta Go Home is one of the few Boney M songs I like. I did think it was ridiculous when Simon Cowell picked the song for that horrible gay duo group that sang it on X Factor (and was kicked off ) this season...

My fave indie/dance Canadian act (cuz there are so many...) Dragonette are keeping up between albums with collaborations with various European DJs--here's the latest. Pretty good, though I''m anxious for more of their own stuff

Eric, during 2009's NXNE music festival, I saw Dragonette live at Kool Haus. They were pretty good, but I've never taken the time to really listen to any of their stuff after that. The lead singer is hilarious though. I love her speaking voice. Mostly because they were upstaged by the rock bands they were playing with, which still doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, USS and Dragonette, in what world do they gel?

Anyway,

Brian Wilson (sorta) live. It's nearly identical to the album version.

One of his best from his solo career. His voice is understandably more ragged than in his youth, but I'm not sure if a young Brian Wilson could sing this with more emotion.
