Have to say Happy Birthday to the Mixtape Podcast who celebrate their first year of being with some exclusive remixs from the likes of Something Wrong , Dirty Disco Youth and Death To The Throne . It's this remix of the Destiny's Child track Say My Name from Robot Koch that caught our ear mind. It's like entering the warped mind of Beyonce 's [...]

Hey everybody! It's our first birthday! A note to the readers from The Mix Tape Editor, Merlin Jones: There cannot be a better day to start writing about myself in the third person than this one, our 1st birthday! Yeah that's right, 12 months ago this shabby little music blog was born. Birthed into digital existence under the pretense of having nothing better to do my time, The Mix Tape has developed into something tangible, a place people like to visit and actually spend their time reading! In one year we have [...]

It's been a long time coming... Enjoy! ----- In case you weren't aware, Utada is a single lady again. Yet ever since the dissolution of her marriage with acclaimed Japanese director Kazuaki Kiriya in 2007, the singer has not made even a single peep regarding the fact in any of her recent Japanese songs. Maybe the words simply failed her in her native tongue. "Intoxicated, emancipated, unapologetic," the singer proudly gushes in the chorus of "On And On," the lead track of her second major English album, This Is [...]
Utada Hikaru , This Is The One snippets: Part Deux. "Apple and Cinnamon" simply cannot overcome its ridiculous title's embarrassing repetition throughout the song. It's catchy and melodious, though I'm left cringing at its blatant awkwardness. Let's hope the track in full proves otherwise? On the other hand, "Taking My Money Back" is a refreshing wink back in the direction of First Love , featuring a trippy, skipping beat a la Destiny's Child . Hikki's evidently quite serious about this [...]

Seconda puntata di X factor e seconda eliminazione. Il pubblico da casa e i giurati mandano fuori Elisa Rossi , alias Viola Selise , fra i fischi del pubblico in sala. Un giudizio che francamente non ci sentiamo di condividere, anche perchè alcune esibizioni avevano convinto molto meno. Come al solito, qui sotto abbiamo i nostri giudizi, che come al solito, rappresentano assolutamente un'opinione. Primi della classe Daniele Magro, Matteo Becucci, Ambramarie Facchetti e naturalmente Elisa Rossi. Bocciati? Beh gli stessi della scorsa settimana, che sono ancora dentro. I nostri preferiti, invece, entrambi fuori. Ce ne faremo [...]

Taking into account the current sales, the chances of Girls Aloud hitting the Top Ten with "The Loving Kind" are now dangerously slim, with the single resting at a shaky #10 in the midweeks. A failure to hit the Top Ten would end the Aloud's record-breaking single run at the top of the charts, surpassing the Spice Girls and Destiny's Child . When words fail in these tenuous times, only human emotion can suffice. My thoughts exactly, Sarah Harding. [...]

2008 was not only a year of comebacks but a year when, contrary to the declining viability of the music industry as a means by which to make an above average living, new artists emerged and those waiting in the wings made their debut. and nkotb have been gone so long they count as a new act in my book. these are my favourites of 2008. download 2008 newcomers candy hill - head gone don't know much about [...]

despite declining sales, labels continued to throw money and effort into album promotion instead of finding new and creative ways to make money from music. which is now basically free, let's face it. i enjoyed these the most of all the comebacks last year. download the comebacks of 2008 anthony hamilton - the day we met consistent and underrated, anthony hamilton's new album 'the point of it all' is a little more punchy, i think, than his previous efforts. it's worth seeking [...]

Tout est dans le titre les enfants. Si certains mélanges, tels la purée de carotte parsemée d'éclats de banane, sont totalement indigestes, d'autres sont un enchantement pour les sens. En musique, cette même loi du melting-pot s'applique. Tel un grand chef, je vous fournis trois mets musicaux de haut vol qui à défaut de sublimer vos papilles feront rêver votre appareil auditif, je l'espère. L'entrée du Chef: Un zeste de Rock par Vitalic agrémenté de poudre vocale prélevée directement chez Yazoo , un [...]

Beyoncé, who is known in the music industry for always being nice or at least trying, just trash talked a whole family of celebrities. And not any family, the Royal Family Of Pop - The Jackson. "I grew up upper-class," she said. "Private school, My dad had a Jaguar. We're African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we're like the Jacksons. But I didn't have parents using me to get out of a bad situation." Wow, Beyonce, you had a jaguar. That quite something. [...]

I går stillede den ene halvdel af Data Sapiens Blog op i Present Århus' iPod-battle #2 på Train og vandt (stillede op for Århus Statsgymnasium). I denne anledning får I derfor, i dagens julekalender-anledning, ét af de tracks, som vi droppede. Det er et intenst og yderst vellykket mash-up udført af Soulwax . Egentlig er det ganske gammelt, men er først blevet smidt ud officelt for nylig, sammen med en række andre mash-ups, på Soulwax's eget mash-up-album The Mash-up Machine . Og nu til informationerne omkring den 24. december... Det er [...]

I am sick as a dog--and just in time for the holidays, no less! As a result, I'm confined to my quarters once more, where I've been steadily hacking and wheezing in solace. Death is rapidly approaching. The silence has got me thinking however, and I realized that I haven't done anything truly special for Christmas at MuuMuse. While I find myself conjuring more phlegm than holiday cheer at the moment, I've endeavored to create the quintessential collection of holiday tracks to lift our spirits. I've no doubt that this little grouping will act [...]
Let's "Breathe Slow" with Alesha for a few minutes. It's a shame about the video, isn't it? It's all sweet and silly (and a dash of tamed "Hung Up" during the dance studio sequences) up until the two minute mark, in which Miss Dixon dons a truly ridiculous headband of chicken feathers and twirly things, opens up her jacket to a glittery corset, and brings it all steadily downhill from there. I simply adore the dozens of onlookers watching Alesha sashay her way down [...]

Il video di "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" (potete vederlo a questo link ) è finalmente uscito e bisogna dire che ci ha lasciato un pò perplessi: infatti ci aspettavamo la Beyoncè con mille cambi d'abito, con scenografie super colorate e super "glitterate". Questo nuovo video invece sembra proseguire sulla stessa linea dell'altro girato per la canzone " If I Were A BoY " in cui dominano il bianco e nero e la sobrietà; eppure la canzone ci aveva fatto immaginare tutt'altra atmosfera. L'unica cosa che forse era prevedibile erano i balletti sculettanti [...]
![First came the rumors that Beyonce's forthcoming ... [Rumors]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1279824_lg.jpg)
First came the rumors that Beyonce's forthcoming album was late in arriving at her label's offices , thanks to her many acting commitments and a lot of potholes while recording her duet with Justin Timberlake. Now, people are buzzing that the first two singles from the record, which were supposed to hit radio Tuesday, have been pushed back a week—even though videos have allegedly been shot for both songs? Something's a bit odd here, especially since the "official" explanation being given involves B wanting to let her former bandmate Michelle Williams' album, which also drops on Tuesday, more of [...]
