Robbie.


(from So Hip It Hurts)

Vinny Vero does a nice little writeup of a new Robbie Williams retrospective due to be released this fall '10.  I totally didn't know that he covered George Michael's 'Freedom' as one of his first solo hits!  I kind of fell late on the whole Take That bandwagon  in the 90's.  I think it was the single 'Back for Good' that peaked my interest.  Of course by then, Robbie was well on his way OUT of that whole boy band business.  I distinctly remember blasting this track quite often in the boardroom at Sony Music Distribution (my old job back in the day) in Beltsville, MD.  Mind you -- Take That were NOT a Sony act.  lolol.  Anyway -- Robbie was total hotness back then.  (He still is IMHO.  Also, after watching 'Back for Good' again ... Gary Barlow is a whole bunch of yummy too!)  It's quite unfortunate that Robbie never really REALLY hit it big in the US.

Who's the shit?


(from The Lisp)
B-R-E-N-D-A-N obviously.  Hmmm.  I remember when he first came out into the movies.  Does anyone remember Encino Man from 1992?  Anyways, I USED to have the biggest crush on this guy.  LOL.

Spice Girls: The musical.

From Pic a day

I wake up in a haze from a nap after work to read this:

Spice Girls: The musical is happening

OMG. I'm soooo there.


Free...again?


Ultra Nate - FREE (Bob Sinclar Mix)

Wow, talk about a song that WON'T die. Originally released back in 1997, Ultra Nate's "Free" has been re-released and remixed AGAIN. Oh well -- I'm not hating it at least. The breakdowns are actually kind of cute. Yayyy. It's FRIDAY. :-)

Bingo Players - Devotion.


(Bingo Players - Devotion)

Since I got a little carried away with my FFC (Fun Friday Choon) selection earlier this week with Gabriella Cilmi, I thought I'd make a mention of this particular track from late last year. The guys behind the Bingo Players can do no wrong in my book. It's interesting, however, how dj's and producers basically remix old songs (in this case a track by Nomad from 1991) and re-release it as their own. I don't know -- by all accounts the vocal track/sample sounds the same. Aside from all of the new production elements and minus the rap part, it's a "remix", right? Either way -- it reminds me of my early club kid days back in Washington, DC when I first started going out. Sigh.....

10 house tracks.

For all of you HOUSE-HEADS out there ... what would you consider your FAVORITE house music tracks of all time??? There is really no way I can narrow down a list of my own personal faves, but below are just 10 that I can name off the top of my head. I'm old so I'm digging back as far as the early-mid 90's in my list. For some reason they all kind of make you want to take drugs or go to church. Go figure! The only stipulation is the song has to be an ORIGINAL house song and NOT necessarily a house remix of a pop / rock / r&b song. It's up to you to define what HOUSE means to you. :-)
