Bubblegum for Christmas

Now that Smile.dk is selling, I am beginging to be aware of a ton of music out there called "Bubblegum." Not you Ohio Fruit company or "Yummy Yummy" tytpe from the late 60s, but a new type- a 90s sound that Aqua perfected ("BArbie Girl")
Now there is even a Christmas album of the stuff - note the West End Girls cover of the PSB classic "Snow At Christmas" (btw- the gals verison is pretty awful, and I like them!)
Anyway


Listen, if you dare, to this clip from Crispy - It has all the world of Bubblegum- great melody, nice singing and, wait for it! Bad Germanic Rap!


Feel Good Party Album of the Season or Crime Against Humanity? You Decide!!!!!!!

G'N'R, Qubiq

I am listening to the stream o f the new Guns N Roses album on Mysapce
I know, I know - but it is part of my musicial DNA, I grew upon "Welcome to the Jungle." The first two songs SUCK! But after that, it gets, well, good actually. I could listen to it on the radio ( more than another round of "Open Arms").

Yeah, I'm crazy.

Qubiq's new remix album is popping up on Blog o land :

JVC says No No

JVC Japan (is that redundant?) passed on the Smile.dk album, but may hook us up on the import side. I think that will be for the best really.

IODA, our digital distro guys highlighted the new Qubiq Remix set in their weekly Dance music newsletter. Very cool!
