Sally Shapiro "Miracle" from the album "My Guilty Pleasure" from Paper Bag Records on Vimeo. Sally Shapiro is excited to release a brand new video for the first single, "Miracle," off her sophomore release, My Guilty Pleasure, out now on Paper Bag Records!
To continue dragging around the cliched compliment of calling enigma/ingenue Sally Shapiro "the queen/princess/]insert proclamation of royalty] of Italo disco" is full of complications, so instead of all of that dredging, we'll simply state that the music she and arranger...

You know when you just HAVE to be yourself post a song or you'll just burst? Well I got that when I first heard 'Odyssey' by Woolfy when it was posted on I Guess I'm Floating . His description said it best and made me hit the 'Play' button instantly. You've been lost on a desert island for 3 days. You find a radio in an abandoned beach shack, still works. You scan the channels looking for some distant flutter of life beneath the [...]

One time at the beach I realized nothing really mattered. It was a shocking realization, but it was true. Life is the only party you're invited to where you don't get to choose when you leave. It can all be gone in an instant, so lets celebrate a little. Players only live once.
The first single from the upcoming sophomore record from mysteriously enigmatic and all-too-coy queen of Italo disco Sally Shapiro (set to see release this fall via Paper Bag Records) is called "Miracle" and it came out on the air/blogwaves last month and today, we bring you a remix by Bogdan Irkuk aka BULGARI , who creates a whopping eight-minute progression of lush everything, swooning waves of color and sheen, all coming together to compose maybe the best track we've heard in months. For serious. Listen to this song, think long and hard about how psyched you are [...]

New Music | Sally Shapiro "Swedish Disco Princess." Swedish. I'll say it again: Swedish. Of course she is, and I'm starting to worry that the NMB scando-global ratio is tipping ever so massively in favour of the scandis, but what can you do? The rest of the planet has some keeping up to do. Expect an on-location scene report soon, that's all I can say. Meanwhile, enjoy some Sally Shapiro.
I've been compiling a giant playlist of live tracks lately. Here are some Gentlebear favorites: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles- Shop Around Smokey gets you excited for this one by declaring "This is the last show and this the last song so we might as well have some fun! " This one gets me nuts. He takes the spoken intro to the song (you know, about his mama calling him to her side and telling [...]
Sally Shapiro epitomizes the term "Disco Romance" and her first album was aptly named just that. We secretly replayed her whole album every now and then even with the whole suffocating banging, trashy scene of late and it is definitely a wonderful surprise to hear some new stuff from this lady. Italo disco is the name of the game and she executes the genre to such grace and perfection. We know she will be releasing her brand new single "Miracle" on June 16th with a brand new sophomore album which we will be [...]
For the first edition of Throwback Thursday I had to go with an old Motown classic - I suppose the "classic" part depends on who you ask but it has always stood out to me. Off of my much worn out CD compilation "Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971," comes the song "First I Look At The Purse" by The Contours, released in 1965 and written by Smokey Robinson and fellow Miracles member Bobby Rogers. The Contours are best known for their hit single "Do You Love Me (Now That I [...]
Perhaps it's in celebration of American Idol's "Songs of Motown" theme last night, but AmazonMP3's "deal of the day" today features the compilation Motown Number 1's Volume 2 for only $1.99. I love me some Motown, and $1.99 for 20 songs is pretty kick ass if you ask me. Some standouts on this compilation include: "Shop Around" [...]
les Marvelettes ne retrouvèrent jamais la place de N°1 qu'elles eurent avec leur premier single Please Mr Postman , et se considéraient un peu oubliée après l' apparition des autre groupes féminins comme The Supremes ou Martha & The Vandellas. Mais cela ne les empêchera pas d'empiler les classiques R&B, comme en 1965 avec I 'll Keep Holdin' On : De 65 à 67 The Miracles, emmenés par Smokey Robinson, fut le groupe le plus populaire de la Motown, et a influencé de nombreux artistes anglais [...]

![Has Sirius XM Found A Reprieve? [Miracles?]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1514682_lg.jpg)
Troubled satellite-radio company Sirius XM might have become the luckiest satellite-radio company in the world: The satellite-tech company EchoStar has bought up a portion of the company's "massive immediate debt obligations," which could be the first step toward a takeover. Or it could be just trying to protect itself when the inevitable bankruptcy filing occurs ! [ WSJ ]
Henry Lumpkin - Don't Leave Me (mp3) ( buy ) I've been listening to a lot of soul stuff lately, especially 1959-1962 Motown. It's not as timeless as the mid-60s Motown-plenty of it sounds old-but it's still chocked full of good tunes. Some take a while to grow on me and some are more immediate. One that stopped me in my tracks on my first listen was "Don't Leave Me" Henry Lumpkin. This 1962 track was released as a B-side of his "What is a Man [...]
