A grumpy morning...

I have a busy day ahead of me and my hurting back is killing me (update: it's FUCKING killing me!!!). Perhaps it's just my body sending a friendly reminder that I'm only a few days away from turning 39?

Despite being busy I'm not going to leave you completely empty handed, so here are two cool dancefloor filling remixes done by Californian DJ Jeff Barringer (actually I've posted both of them before, but don't tell anyone - ok?).
+ Cause and Effect - Into the Light (DJ Jeff Barringer & J-Star Remix)
+ Mighty Six Ninety - Keeping You In Mind (Club Mix)

Never Go To Sleep....

Unreleased track Never Go To Sleep by Mighty Six Ninety can be downloaded for free at Myspace. The track didn't make the album, so the band was so kind to post it for all of us to download! I cannot find any information on a release date for the album (I don't think it has already been released), but I'm certainly going to buy it, because if this terrific pop song cannot make the cut.....the album can't be anything but fabulous!

Misc.

Found two brilliant tracks from Monster Movie in the mailbox this morning. Both tracks are from the album All Lost released in April this year. This is great atmospheric dream-pop and I guess the album has just been added to my shopping list!
+ Driving Through The Red Lights
+ Vanishing Act

Another one I found in the mailbox the other day was instrumental track Julie's Story by TRS-80. This is quite monotone electronica, but still pretty good.
+ Julie's Story

Larry recommends US band Easterly, who has been compared to Pernice Brothers and Teenage Fanclub. The track Wicked Conversation definitely makes you think of those two bands!
+ Wicked Conversation (TW Walsh mix)

Chris over at Music of The Moment has introduced a new feature called Hot Tracks, where he lists his current favorite tracks. Very useful!

If you have a couple of minutes I suggest you visit the Myspace profile of Danish duo Nordstrøm and stream the track Natteravn. It's sung in Danish, but that song sure has Pet Shop Boys written all over it. Don't you think?

If you like Danish band Moi Caprice, I recommend that you check out this post over at emodreng og indiepige, where you can download 3 (really, really great) songs by the band....

A big thank you to José Antonio for informing me that it's possible to download a (really cool) remix of the new single Keeping You In Mind by Mighty Six Ninety from The Kids Label homepage.
+ Keeping You In Mind (Keeping It Electro Mix)

On 13 March US band Mighty Six Ninety will release the single Believable in the UK (through Kids Records) on iTunes and as a limited 7” white vinyl.
The song is an utterly charming up-tempo pop song, with a haunting melody that most likely will be stuck in your head for quite some time once you’ve laid your ears on it.
The band lists The Smiths, Depeche Mode and Talk Talk among the influences and it probably wouldn’t be too difficult to add a string of 80’s bands to that list.
The song is backed by the equally memorable Northern Border which easily could have been released as a single on its own.
No information on when or if an album is going to be released, but this could very well be a band to watch out for in 2006.

The songs can be streamed at Myspace where it’s also possible to download another song by the band.
