Agnes - One Last Time

Swedish pop sensation Agnes is best known for her hit singles "Release Me" and "On And On", but now she's back with the ballad "One Last Time". I'm not a big ballad lover but I like the electronic sound of this one. I'm looking forward to her upcoming album!

"One Last Time" is out now on iTunes and Spotify.

My Week With Marilyn on Blu-ray and DVD

The wonderful, British movie "My Week With Marilyn" is finally out on Blu-ray and DVD. The movie stars Michelle Williams, Kenneth Branagh, Emma Watson, Judi Dench, Eddie Redmayne and Dominic Cooper.

This amazing movie is a must for all Marilyn Monroe fans. You can order it now from Amazon UK and Amazon US. Don't miss this masterpiece!

"During Marilyn Monroe's first trip to London to film 'The Prince And The Showgirl' with Laurence Olivier, she befriends Colin Clark, an ambitious 23 year-old production assistant on the set. As their relationship progresses Colin's focus shifts from making his way in the film business to rescuing her from the pressures of celebrity life. When Monroe's new husband, playwright Arthur Miller, makes a brief trip to Paris, Clark takes the opportunity to introduce her to the world outside of Hollywood fame. Based on the true story by Colin Clark, this memoir describes a magical week in which Monroe opens herself up to a stranger and finds in him a confidant and an ally."

Deborah Harry - In Love With Love (London Extended Mix)

Deborah Harry is best known as the lead singer of Blondie, but she has also released lots of solo music. My favourite track by Deborah is "In Love With Love" from 1987. Not the slow original version, but the amazing Stock Aitken Waterman remix that you can listen to further down.

There is also a wonderful single version of the remix called "London Mix Edit", available on this compilation. Enjoy discofied Debbie:

Steps - Last Thing On My Mind

This is the song that started my Steps obsession. I was fourteen years old when I saw the "Last Thing On My Mind" video on MTV and I fell in love straight away. I love the ABBA inspired, plastic pop sound and the kitchy video. Me and my sister even used to mime to the track.

The song was originally released by Bananarama in 1992, but as much as I love Bananarama, I prefer Steps' version. It's more dance-pop oriented than Bananarama's slow original. Which one do you prefer?

Rest in peace, Donna Summer

I'm so sad. One of my favourite singers, the fantastic disco diva Donna Summer, has passed away. She had been battling Cancer for a while and sadly lost the fight. She was sixty-three years old.

This is such sad news. I've been a huge fan of hers for ages and I can't believe she's really gone. But Donna's amazing voice will live forever, that's for sure.

Rest in peace, angel. We miss you already.

Kate Ryan - Robots

Belgian popstar Kate Ryan is back with the new dance-pop single "Robots". It's the third single from Kate's upcoming album "Electroshock" and will be out on iTunes very soon. Cool, isn't it?

Package from Germany

I received a package from Germany today! I finally got Sandra's new single "Maybe Tonight" and remix collection "So80s Presents Sandra" so tonight is 80's night at my place. Aren't they lovely? I almost want to pet them ha ha!

Captain Morgane And The Golden Turtle

I'm a huge fan of classic point-and-click adventure games and I just ordered the brand new game "Captain Morgane And The Golden Turtle" for the Playstation 3. The game is a spinoff from "So Blonde", inspired by classics such as "Monkey Island", "Broken Sword" and "Beneath A Steel Sky".

I can't wait to play this modern classic. The game is available for PC, Playstation, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS. You can order your copy from Amazon UK.

Linda Sundblad - Hur Kan Jag Sakna Nåt Jag Aldrig Haft

The wonderful Linda Sundblad is back with the brand new, Swedish single "Hur Kan Jag Sakna Nåt Jag Aldrig Haft", which basically means "How can I miss something I never had?" I love the electric sound!

"Hur Kan Jag Sakna Nåt Jag Aldrig Haft" is available on iTunes and Spotify.

Sandra - Maybe Tonight

I'm so happy! As I told you in an earlier blog post, one of my biggest idols, 1980's icon Sandra, is back with a brand new single called "Maybe Tonight". You can listen to a preview of the track at the bottom of this post.

The best thing about the track is that Sandra has returned to her roots, with an electronic, 80's inspired retro sound, which I love! "Maybe Tonight" is produced by Blank & Jones and can be pre-ordered now from iTunes.

If you, like me, prefer a physical CD single, you can get one from Amazon Germany. Whatever you do, don't miss out on this amazing retro hit!

"Maybe Tonight" tracklist:

1. Maybe Tonight
2. Maybe Tonight (Extended Version)
3. Maybe Tonight (Dub Version)
4. Maybe Tonight (Instrumental Version)
