What a golden day!

Hey guys! Here's my first proper entry. Since we're very in between releases right now (can you believe BEAUTIFUL MORNING was four years ago??), I'm going to be a bit all over the place with the content.

Let's start off with what's going on in the boards...

Both the SUGABABES and GIRLS ALOUD have greatest hits compilations coming out this fall in the UK. Both lead singles are up-tempo and intensely catchy. Remind you of anybody?? A Swedish pop group perhaps?? It's no wonder many acers love both of these groups--check out those threads!

A personal favourite of mine, ENIGMA, has a new album and single out in two weeks. Michael Cretu, the visionary behind the Enigma projects, has quoted Ace Of Base as an influence on his pop sensibilities (which were mostly featured in the fifth Enigma album, Voyageur). The new release, A Posteriori, is released in a couple of weeks and judging from the 30-second clips it's going to be quite special!

Check out the JENNY resource section at ACE ISLAND if you haven't yet. And does anyone know what happened to the STORY MEANT TO LAST archive...?? I wanted to link to it but it seems as though it has gone offline!

Now, I know many of you are video game geeks like me. I play tonnes of World of Warcraft and I just bought a Nintendo DS Lite, but what I'm quite excited about is the new Nintendo Wii, which has just been announced as launching on NOVEMBER 19. I suggest checking out some of Kotaku's coverage of the press conference to catch up, if you like that sort of thing.

I'll be posting again soon!
