Club Disco OUT NOW!

All you Aussies reading this, I demand you go out and get a copy (or two) of Dannii's sublime 2-disc club compilation "Club Disco". It's jam-packed full of (club) HITS, unreleased material, lounge mixes and a bonus disc of club remixes - she really is the QUEEN OF CLUBS! Ok, so the idiots at Central Station have made it non-chart eligible because they know its going to flop and are afraid of tampering with Dannii's incredible chart history (five Top 100 albums - $UCCE$$!). Poor Dannii, it should be the public who doesn't allow you to chart, not your own record company :(

The promo video above, created by Mike (webmaster of Dannii's Dirty Box), is possibly the only sort of marketing "Club Disco" will receive. If you ask me, it does the job purrrr-fectly.

And to top it all off, here's Dannii's brilliant presentation at the Logie Awards:

Dannii's press releases are always a good laugh, and this one for the Australian release of "Club Disco" is no exception:

The nations Queen of Dance returns with a new artist album for 2008, featuring the UK Dance Chart #1 'Touch Me Like That' , plus the hit singles 'Perfection', 'So Under Pressure' and the LMC edit of 'He's The Greatest Dancer'. Dannii's reign as Queen of the Clubs is undeniable, with 13 UK Club Chart #1's and four top selling albums to her name since 1997.
Club Disco also contains a second disc of hot remixes. $ucce$$ indeed.

Bless her heart. "Club Disco" (2 Disc) is out May 3rd.
Top 150 here we come!

Order online now

And speaking of Danush, she performed "Xanadu" on the finale of "It Takes Two" last night. It's possibly the GAYEST performance you'll ever see. A queen's wet dream come to life.



IMO not a patch on last year's fabulous performance on "Dancing With The Stars". Grant proves he has alot to learn if he wants to become one of great hosts like Daryl Sommers. I mean c'mon, where is the mention of Dannii's countless, never-ending #1 (club) hits? No one wants to know about Dannii's Great Walk to Beijing, it's all about the HITS! He didn't even give "Club Disco" a plug! I doubt Dannii herself even knows its getting a release.

Vintage Dannii 2: "This Is The Way"

Our second helping of Vintage Dannii is the brilliant "This Is The Way" from her second album "Get Into You". The single was released in September 1994 and flopped, peaking at #27 in the UK and #45 in Australia, which is a shame cause it's such a great dance tune. The video is also one of her best and is the second to feature her husband at the time, Julian McMahon (of "Charmed" and "Nip/Tuck" fame). Julian also featured in the video for her previous single "This Is It".

Due to its flopping, neither the track or video feature on Dannii's 2006 CD/DVD Greatest Hits compilation "The Hits and Beyond". The video however can be found on her 2007 "Video Collection" DVD which has so far only been released in the UK, with no word of an Australian release (much to my frustration!).



And a performance of the track - the hair! THE HAIR!!! See Dannii drag a bunch of random kids onto the stage to dance with her. So craptacular!

Dannii gets physical with ONJ on the Great Walk Of Beijing

This woman never ceases to amaze me. If God were female, his name would be Dannii Minogue. Disco Dannii is taking part in the Great Walk To Beijing, a fundraiser organised by Olivia Newton John in support of advancements in cancer technology and treatment. Basically, a group of celebrities are undertaking a 21 day trek which covers 228 kilometres - a million steps symbolises the journey cancer patients take in their fight against cancer. The public is able to sponsor their favourite celebrity by donating money to the foundation. So far Dannii has gained 124 sponsors - $UCCE$$!

Here's a video message from Dannii in the Gobi Desert:



Poor Dannii will be needing a 2 year holiday after this.

She's writing a blog about it to, which you can view here.

Vintage Dannii 1: "Baby Love"

Each week, i'll post an old music video from Dannii Minogue, basically any one of the singles from her first two albums which were released between 1990 and 1994. What distinguishes "Vintage Dannii" from the icon Dannii is today: she still has a natural face, she dosen't have breasts, she's (how do I put this nicely) still got abit of "baby fat", and of course those very unfortunate make-up and wardrobe choices. But Vintage Dannii will live on forever in our trashtastic hearts.

Today, we celebrate the classic "Baby Love", taken from her first album "Love and Kisses". Released in October 1991, the single peaked at #26 in Australia, #14 in the UK and #18 in Ireland. Of all the singles from her first album, this one has dated the least and still sounds fresh and hip (in a retro kind of way) today. Even her style in the video is not as trashy as previous videos (I'll save the worst for last haha). Enjoy your weekly dish of Vintage Dannii...



As Dannii's first two albums are no longer in print, the only place to find "Baby Love" is on her greatest hits compilation "The Hits & Beyond" (2006).

Nathan has confirmed...

And the award for most pointless release goes to...

So the webmaster of Dannii Minogue's official site, the infamous Nathan, has revealed that "Club Disco" is getting a CD release in Australia, no doubt due to the return of the shockingly bad TV variety show "Australia's Got Talent" (on which Dannii is a judge - I don't know how and why she does it, me thinks $$$). It was a huge rater last season, proving Australia will watch anything fed to them, although it did nothing for Dannii's record sales - her last single (no, not the one that was ineligable to chart cause some dumbass at Central Station decided to make a 13 track single that featured 2 of the SAME remix) failed to crack the ARIA Top 30.

Seriously, I don't know why they are bothering with this release. It will sell 20 copies, and even those 20 people (including myself) will already have downloaded it MONTHS ago when it was released digitally in the UK. Half of Disc 1 is already on the 2006 compilation "The Hits & Beyond" while all the remixes on the bonus disc have been previously released on their respective singles. I'm getting rather tired of Dannii (correction, Dannii's people) constantly recycling the same old material over and over again. Lord knows the booklet better be bloody good! It's the only thing about this release that remains a mystery.

On a positive note, "Club Disco" works really well as a sophisticated club album. In fact, it is the 5th studio album Dannii should have released all along! (minus a couple of duds). In terms of the new tracks, "I'm Sorry" is the hit Dannii never had (why on earth crap like "He's The Greatest Dancer" and "Touch Me Like That" are getting released instead is beyond me), and "I Will Come To You" is a total gem. "Feel Like I Do" (originally a b-side to "So Under Pressure") is an under-rated masterpiece.

Someone needs to send mysterious powder to Warner and demand they release the "The Video Collection" DVD here - a Dannii project which was brilliantly executed. A friend of mine bought it online and it looks incredible, and is so comprehensive.
