It’s been a while since I’ve taken a spin ’round the blogosphere for you Muusers. Let’s go again, shall we?

Over at XO, Steve’s still going gaga (in the non-pop-star-wannabe sense) for Antigone. Make sure to check out the little mixtape widget for her debut album, AntigoneLand, released online this week. Good luck, Mizz ‘Tig!

AnthoNYC started my day off right at Tastes Like Caramel with this fabulous video of Little Boots‘ cover of the Sugababes track, “Overload.” What kind of instrument is that anyway? It’s more gorgeous than the sounds it’s emitting! Oh, and just a few minutes ago, we got the dish on the Lollapalooza ’09 line-up. Fleet Foxes, Animal Collective, and Vampire Weekend? Yep…it’s a Pitchfork affair. I’m far more interested in the spinning going on at Perry’s, featuring Simian Mobile Disco, Kaskade, and Hercules & Love Affair. Now that? That’s my kind of party.

Ohh!Crapp continues to be one step ahead of the game with the show-stopping Fred Falke remix of Annie‘s “Anthonio.” Smooth, rich, and creamy. As my friend David suggested, could this be the first Italo Disco-esque release in years? Me thinks it possible. Going to invest in vinyl for this one!

HardCandyMusic‘s got a hugely essential collection of eleven recordings from Grace Jones‘ Hurricane Tour now currently ripping through the other side of globe, as well as some future tour dates. Anyone willing to shell out a few to fly me over to the Hollywood Bowl this summer? Let me know.

RobPop’s reviewed the new Emilia de Poret album over at DontStopThePop. I’ve not listened yet, but I’m more than willing to bet it’s a rather homosexual affair.

The sluts over at TheMusicSlut are giving away tickets to Peaches‘ NYC show and offering downloads of a shitty Coldplay cover by Gaga. It’s a mixed bag, you know?

Trust me, there’s loads of other news out there…now go on and support my friends!

It’s a miserable Sunday, so let’s cheer ourselves up with a lap or two around the blogosphere, shall we?

As usual, D-Luv’s got the low down on the charts game across the pond. More specifically, he’s discovered that Robyn is still putting out old music, Girls Aloud is preparing an epic second single release, and Beyoncé finally found a way to the top on her own.

Raj of ElectroQueer has put up an incredible review of Darren Hayes‘ much anticipated project, This Delicate Film We’ve Made. The result sounds absolutely luscious, and I’m so looking forward to seeing the end product myself!

JJS III of It’s The Money Shot! continues in his tradition of posts eclectic: This time, a remix of Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” by the incomparable, tranny-tastic Ashley Breathe. He’s also opted to push my buttons with some minor Circus hate, but I’m holding my tongue…sheerly out of blogger-to-blogger love.

Near and dear Muu friend 8/1 has posted about unsigned UK band, The Golden Filter. Judging by “Solid Gold,” this may be THE new band to watch for in ’09! A bit Goldfrapp, a touch of Hercules & Love Affair, a glitter drop of Róisín Murphy, and all DIY electro-pop…I’m absolutely in love with this band’s sound. Will be exploring further!

My good friend Faisal of Ohh! Crapp has been posting in his usual, nonsensical manner. A nice, long rant about Lady GaGa, followed by an MP3 from…Lady GaGa. It’s okay, Faisal…Love you, anyway

XOLondon has bunched together some of the greatest musical moments of ’08. While we don’t always see eye to eye on our artists, I absolutely adore his selections. Prime opinions and keen pickin’s, as usual!

HardCandyMusic is keeping the beat alive with some nice “Justify My Love” remixes.

And to throw into the mish-mash of already scattered thoughts, I’ve decided to include a favorite of mine from Depeche Mode that I fancied for myself tonight. Miserably bleak, wry, and slightly damning, “Blasphemous Rumors” is an ominous recounting of life’s most unexpected events. It’s a slightly horrifying mix of industrial clangs, music box strings, and a series of horned synth blares. The song also happens to feature one of the greatest choruses of all time: “I don’t want to start any blasphemous rumours, but I think that God’s got a sick sense of humor. And when I die, I expect to find him laughing.” Absolutely essential material.

Haven’t done a proper perusal of the peripheral in a while (tee hee), so let us embark on a musical journey of sorts, shall we? To the right, the first image that caught my eye when Google Image searching for “scraps.” And go!

ArjanWrites has some particularly luscious electro-pop brewing lately with the introducion of some new tunage from Electric Valentine, The Ultrasonics, and Neon Hitch! Head over to stream the new tracks now!

Raj of Electroqueer‘s got a sizzling review of Sam Sparro and Annie‘s performances at the iTunes Festival in London.

My friend Steve over at XOLondon has written up a fantastic interview with one of my favorite male pop stars, Darren Hayes. It’s incisive, entertaining, and rather comprehensive. An excellent example of “smart pop” at its finest, if you will. Please check that out at once!

The ever quirky It’s The Money Shot! has a nice amassment of links and news bites covering the past week. Which, now that I think of it, is a better version of what I’m doing right now. Check out his stuff! PS: Did you know he draws those pictures he includes in every entry? I know, right?!

HardCandyMusic‘s always seems to have the latest music first. Head over and check out what appears to be the first promotional remix of Lindsay Lohan‘s promo single, “Bossy.” It’s an absolutely vital warm synth repackaging of the original: Bigger bass, flashier lights! Literally, give it two seconds…you’ll be sold. Make sure to keep your eyes open for the Mike Rizzo mix as well according to Mike himself, which should be cropping up sometime soon!

D’Luv of Chart Rigger keeps going on about people who suck.

PopMuse is keeping the mixes spinning on and on, even though I’m still not over his fantastic Disco Globes 2008 compilation!
