Fashion Pack...

Madonna. Grace Jones. Amanda Lear. Mylene Farmer. Boy George. David Bowie. Sade. Eurythmics.

It's the spring/summer show from Gaultier - with a special guest.

Tracks...

Time for some tracks I like at the moment - we start off with the Swedish Bananarama: yes,  Lili & Susie are back and this time with a Pride song. How can you not love it in all its tacky campness???



The latest from Sade - love it!



Nothing spectacular here - but it is a fun summer song.



The excellent Hercules & Love Affair with their latest.



A fantastic track, brought to my attnetion by the lovely Jon over at Give 'em The Old Razzle Dazzle. Do check out his blog, it is a daily read for little old me.



Oh dear! Guess who's back?



Brainless chart stuff - but since this summer is quite lacking in real summer hits, this one seems to stand out on the radio (along with the latest single from The Wanted, which I posted previously).



And finally: a fabulous take on an old fave of mine: "D.I.S.C.O" by Ottowan. And watch out for the guy dancing in the video - my boyfriend said he looks like a cross between Freddie Mercury and Blanche from Golden Girls. I have to agree...

Ultimate...

Sade have announced that they are to release a greatest hits album later this year.

The group will put out The Ultimate Collection on May 3, which features 28 tracks spanning six studio albums.

The double-disc set also includes two brand new songs, in addition to a remix of their latest single 'Moon And Sky' featuring Jay-Z.

The retrospective LP follows the release of their first studio album in a decade, Soldier Of Love, last year, which topped the US album chart for three weeks and peaked at number four in the UK.

Sade's career has spanned 27 years, during which they have sold over 50 million albums worldwide and picked up four Grammy Awards.

The Ultimate Collection will also include a bonus DVD with Sade music videos and a unique code that grants you early access to tickets for newly-announced upcoming tour dates for Sade’s US Tour.

Their world tour kicks off in Germany on May 3 and includes a string of UK and US dates. The tracklist for the collection should be released shortly.
