Late July '08 Soundbites

Miki S earned her angel's wings recently via the fostering of a homeless mother cat and her five furry offspring. For eight weeks the lucky Mom and brood received care and human socialization at Cafe Berry. We're happy to report Miki has announced all six furballs have found loving homes, and you're lucky enough to see a few of the hijinks at Miki's YOUTUBE page. Just try not to say "Awwwwwww".

Since Rihanna hasn't released a single recently we're without a Summer of '08 Song, but - for now - the CDs of the season are definitely Alice Smith's stunning debut For Lovers, Dreamers and Me, each song a soul explosion and emotional dance revelation; AND, Sweating it out this year, Cafe Drake's other musical fascination au courant would be the endless string of remixed singles from Junkie XL. Their groundbreaking 4-to-the-floor stomper "Today" channeled 80s-era The Cure and Talk Talk with its melodious bass lines and drunken anthem chorus, but now they've actually covered Siouxise and the Banshees' "Cities in Dust" and we couldn't be more ecstatic without the real thing in pill form.
