Touch-base Tuesday
|
 While I've been spending the early stages of this week in a sleepless, zombie-like frazzle, other members of the Blogerati have been quite productive. Let's take a look at the goings on around the world wide web...
The Hotstuff Files are - like myself - in quite the state to see that Simon Webbe (ex Blue member) is no longer sporting his trademark hat. The end is indeed nigh.
XO & his Middle Eight are currently listening to the delightful sounds of Lucky Soul, who I'd not heard of until this post. Grace Jones (pictured, left), the pop star with the sharpest shoulder-pads in music history, is apparently quite the fan of them as well.
If you're like me and don't actually live in the UK, you might be incredibly curious to find out what's going on in the UK Celebrity Big Brother House, staring Jermaine Jackson (!!!), Jo O'ChinO'Meara and H "The Gay" from Steps. Luckily for us, the amazing Talent In A Previous Life are providing the world with day to day recaps, proving to be much more entertaining than Jo O'Meara's solo album.
Paul at The Zapping not only has a sexy new look for his blog, but has also managed to squeeze in appreciation of Deborah Gibson's AH-MAH-ZHING 2001 single "M.Y.O.B", which, long-time readers may remember, was featured on the now (temporarily?) defunct 1001 Greatest Pop Songs website mid last year.
Speaking of Deborah, ace new Magablog A Kind Of Love In has also managed to feature the lovely Ms. Gibson. Pinkie - the lovely man who runs the site - discusses his loin-approval for Eric Mabius, the rather gorgeous-as-fuck boss of Betty, seen on the splendid TV show Ugly Betty. You may remember him as the sexy-as-sin Dean Jack Hess from the OC last year, or as the boy bumming Joshua Jackson in the movie Cruel Intentions.
#1 Hits From Another Planet is featuring some delightfully good electro-pop courtesy of Emmon, in the form of an mp3. There's also a lovely Lady-themed EP available for download too.
RobPop & Mark over at Don't Stop The Pop have announced their Top 10 songs of 2006, with a rightful placing of Silvia Night's "Congratulations" at Number #2.
Chart Rigger adds some interesting detail to the whole Robbie Williams vs Ashley Hamilton (he-of-former-Shannen-Doherty-nuptial-fame) debacle over who actually wrote Williams' "She's Madonna". Robbie seems to be spending more time in court these days than Eminem did several years back.
Anthony Callea has done one of those "what's on your iPod" lists for iTunes, and the fabulous Poster Girl has analyzed every single one of the tracks on said list. Callea likes X-Tina, The Pussycunt Moles, Nick Lachey and - quite sadly - Augie March, who I explained had been responsible for "supplying many Australian's with reasons to off themselves since their first EP release in 1998" in Stylus Magazine last year.
Split Chick over at Tip Top Pop has a Live-mania Kylie Minogue megapost up at the moment, with downloadable audio moments from some of Kylie's biggest tours, including her take on Madge's "Vogue" on the recent leg of her Showgirl Tour.
Jess has updated Ausculture and has bid farewell to the amazing Will from Fop, who's moving to the UK forever, leaving all of his VERY SAD AUSTRALIAN FRIENDS BEHIND. We'll miss you oh-so-much Will, thanks for being so very special to all. xo
Patrick at PopGoesCanberra has returned from his holiday in third world country Tasmania. Since his return, he's made the time to comment "here and there" on the ENTIRE TOP 50 AUSTRALIAN ARIA SINGLES CHART. What a fucking gun!
Over at Karinski.net, there's some serious loving headed toward Mark Ronson, Ms. E. Bextor, and the use of the word "Emop". Brilliance all round.
The superb Popalastic has news on Australia's latest "apparent" new Pop Princess. Her name is Suzy Ray, her first single is called "Disco In My Car", there is speculation that she may enjoy sex with her siblings and cows, and she is without a MySpace page. This is never a good thing folks ("Which bit?!!" - You). A band by the name of Clay Pigeon that I was banging on about last year suddenly broke up after recording their first demo CD, and they too were WITHOUT A MYSPACE PAGE. The curse of MySpace is an evil thing, and if Suzy Ray wants anyone to buy her incredibly shithouse-but-listenable single, she'd better get out of the depression and hop to joining the rest of the world in the year 2007 by 'getting to it'.
Popjustice.com are raving about Calvin Harris, and (once again) they're quite right in doing so. Calvin recently turned the average All Saints single "Rock Steady" into an absolute dancefloor stomper. What a pity not even God himself could turn the rest of their album into anything remotely worth listening to.
The always controversial and quite fantastic Kirkland Ciccone has launched a new website, which has some quite dazzling moments to be found within.
Finally, if you're after Australian Princess Updates, you might wanna head over to my other website, the slightly more Australian-TV-Culture-tinged Trang Pak's Burn Book.
