All Forever Kid wants is to make you "dance like happy kids." This might initially sound like a rather obscure request, but a first listen of any of Ulf and Joakim's unabashedly upbeat, adrenaline-inducing tracks quickly reveals the obvious: the Swedish duo has talent well beyond their young years, and they most certainly will make you dance. In anticipation of the impending 2013 release of their first EP, Playtime , we caught up with Ulf and Joakim to talk shop about production, the unavoidable presence of Avicii, the future of EDM, and what lies [...]
As the curtain starts to fall on another year, here's a question about years in general: Why don't more of them spawn great songs? I'm not talking about years and the songs that belong to them. Despite pop's continued diminishing value and the still-inexplicable rise of "Call Me Maybe," 2012, like most years, did produce an abundance, if not quite an embarrassment, of riches, from pretty much everything on Fiona Apple's The Idler Wheel to any given song on any given episode of Nashville [...]
Like it or not, popular culture lived in a swirl of polyester and strobe lights in 1978, camped out on the disco dance floor for the better part of the year. The Bee Gees ruled the airwaves, of course, but there were other sounds emanating from Studio 54 and the like. Here are the Top 10 Dance Songs that had booties shakin' in '78.
Batten down the hatches and lock up your daughters, as San Fran’s K Theory keep rockin’ out their broken melodic beats and slowed down disco prog noodles mercilessly. Using a clever form of audio tapestry over Gareth Emery’s ‘The Saga’ & ‘Concrete Angel’ (as well as their own ‘Geeked Up,’ ‘VC Commander’ and ‘Wut They Gon Do!,’ ) whether it’s taking on the Bee Gees or Crazy Daylight, there doesn’t seem to be a challenge that K Theory can’t succeed in. Stuffed with more energy than a box of Ferrero [...]
For the last 20 years, music has primarily entered my lugholes via tinny computers,"i" prefixed devices and a pair of speakers salvaged from a £200 Aiwa midi hi-fi system that was already 10 years old when the Tricky stickers that adorn them were put on. This week Richer Sounds seduced me into a new decent-ish pair of speakers and my god, it's like I grew a new pair of ears! The only trouble is, everything sounds so good, if you put Morris Minor & The Majors "Stutter Rap" on right now, the [...]

And, per usual, please #danceirresponsibly
No te preocupes! I'm not going to write this entire post in Spanish. It's just that last night I was visited by the other Jeremy -- the one who brought over the six pack that changed the course of my life last year, the one who is now in Bangkok on holiday -- and he got me thinking in Spanish. While he told me all about his life working as a miner in Perth (much to my surprise, there's no digging underground involved, and he says he only spends about six hours out of [...]
Considering that I'm afraid of the dark, and I've spent most of my life as a hopeless insomniac, tossing and turning in bed, one might not expect me to be quite so fond of nighttime . It's no match for those early morning hours -- my favorite time of day -- when most of the world's asleep, except for the hordes of joggers, including me, who flock to Lumpini Park to beat the heat of the rising sun. Oh, the scorching Bangkok sun! That might be another reason why I've warmed up to nighttime more than [...]

Would Gene Simmons and KISS go disco? You bet! (Photo by Keith Leroux for KISSOnline) A few years ago, while riffling through my closet, I came across my old pea green leisure suit. In one pocket was a ticket stub to a Bee Gees concert, circa 1979 in the Houston Summit. (Yes, that was the one with the guest dancer appearance by one Mr. John Travolta, in town filming Urban Cowboy ). Horrified at this perfect polyester time capsule, I bundled it up and gave it as a Christmas white elephant gift at the office [...]
Filed under: The Hit List Getty Images Attention, artists: If Bruce Springsteen ever offers to write a song for you, don't get too excited -- especially if it winds up being a really good one. Because while the Boss has written several songs for other performers, he's been known to both giveth and taketh away. He's not the only one to flip-flop on song destinations. Here are several hit songs that were intended [...]

[Purchase] I can't speak for the entire album, but the single "Run To Me" is one of my 5 all time favourite Bee Gees tunes. That's sibling harmony at work.( And to think I probably heard it first on my cassette copy of Here At Last...Bee Gees Live ) I 've also gained an awful lot of respect lately for the way Maurice Gibb played bass. Mo gets to work out his bass quite a bit on the album's sole rocker "Bad Bad Dreams". But I've also heard [...]
Filed under: News , R.I.P. Ian Gavan, Getty Images The Bee Gees ' Robin Gibb apparently amassed a huge fortune during his celebrated career with the band and as a solo artist. The legendary singer passed away at the age of 62 after losing his battle with cancer back in May. Now, the value of the estate he left behind has been revealed. According The Sun [...]
(I would have put this blog post up last week, but I was on holiday and my internet connection was rubbish, so you're getting it now as a Monday treat) There’s no real link between these 3 tracks. I guess that’s somewhat symptomatic of my music taste in general. Quite simply these are 3 tracks that I’m really into at the moment and tracks I feel are well worthy of your time. Mausi – Sol – It’s a glorious summery pop song, somewhat at odds at the [...]
Riding the crest of Bee Gees mania in the late 1970s, Samantha Sang grabbed her lone Top 40 hit in '78 with the Gibb brothers cut, "Emotion."
On the R&B charts of 1975, it was a combination of classic standup soul, jazz funk fusion and disco dance music. Here are the Top 10 R&B Songs of that year.
myworldmusicfriends.com Ana Gazzola Musicas E Palavras Dos Bee Gees Fuel Brazilian-born and LA-based, Ana Gazzola, brings us reinterpreted songs of the famous group, Bee Gees.
