Stream New Dangerous Muse Song

Head over to Dangerous Muse's MySpace site to stream their new single "Give Me Danger." This track is also the title of their forthcoming new digital-only EP that is scheduled for release early fall. I'm loving how their sound is progressing and becoming increasingly their own. Based on plenty of '80s influences, the dark and nocturnal "Give Me Danger" prominently features Mike's distinct, subdued vocals and Tom's bouncy, minimalist synth textures.

If you are in New York, make sure to check out my honeys perform live at Don Hill's tomorrow night. More Dangerous Muse news soon.
"He Is Gay Now!"
Justin Timberlake acted surprised when asked about (former bandmate) Lance Bass' (right) recent coming out in Monday's broadcast of MTV's Total Request Live (and embarrassed the VJ in the process).

Goldfrapp Announces Remix Album
Straight from the source: "Riding high on the success of their third album Supernature, red-hot U.K platinum act Goldfrapp ' Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory ' have a new offering for U.S. fans only with "We Are Glitter." Due out October 17, 2006 on Mute, "We Are Glitter" is a collection of the best remixes of tracks from Goldfrapp's critically acclaimed "Supernature." Adventurous and risk-taking, "We Are Glitter" celebrates and re-imagines Goldfrapp and Supernature with each track selected by the band.

The album features work from white-hot remixers The Flaming Lips, DFA, C2 (aka Carl Craig), Benny Benassi, Ewan Pearson, Fran'ois K, Alan Braxe & Fred Falke and many more, most of which have not been previously available commercially. "We Are Glitter" highlights include alluring remixes of such songs as "Number 1" and "Ooh La La," both of which hit #1 on Billboard's "Hot Dance Club Play" chart. "We Are Glitter" also contains the special bonus track "Strict Machine (We Are Glitter mix)," a song from their second studio album "Black Cherry," remixed by Goldfrapp themselves. This new version of "Strict Machine" also appears on the soundtrack for the upcoming feature film Miami Vice and the original album version has just been licensed for use in the new Verizon TV advertising campaign, which launched July 25."
