Can't Sleep, So...

I can't sleep. So, for your reading and listening pleasure, here is What I am Listening To, Version 3.0:

Justice, "D.A.N.C.E."
I actually saw the video of this song on one of the HD music channels as I was channel surfing one night. The video is AMAZING. Go check the video out on YouTube and you'll see what I mean. The song supposedly is a tribute to Michael Jackson, with a lot of MJ song references embedded. This is a DJ group from France and they make amazing music. Their new album, "Cross," is something I downloaded recently and I really like. It sounds very "Thriller" like, but also very electronic. One of their songs, "Genesis," is featured in a Cadilac commercial, so you may have heard them before, just not known it.

Just for the record, if you watch the video, there is a T-shirt one of the guys wears that has a black triangle with an eye in the center of it and the words "She's Close..." I WANT THAT T-SHIRT!!!

Moby, "Next is the E"
One of the classic rave techno tunes of all time. We used to play this all the time when I used to work at MARS FM back in the early 90's. I'd forgotten how good the song was. Moby throws out all the stops and basically created the formula for 90's techno. You can't beat the Silvester samples : )

KLF, "3am (Eternal)"
Yet another classic from MARS-FM. "The White Room", the album this song is taken from, was one of the first albums I ever heard created by DJ's, for the DJ rave culture. It still satisfies me 15 years later.

OK, I am kinda tired now. Gonna try to sleep.
