Remixes! I have been
rambling on about buzz bands for far too many weeks so today I am giving you
some sweet remixes that have been floating around the net. I can't say
that I think every remix ever done is good, because that isn't even close to
being true, but I think that a large number of them do a good job of
enhancing whatever they are remixing. Anyways, if you hate remixes at
least give the songs below a listen, you might find something you like.
Friday EP Vol. 15
:Minus The Bear - Drilling (POS Remix):
In my opinion I think that this remix is pretty badass, however, I am a big
Minus The Bear fan and an even bigger P.O.S. fan so I might be more than a
little biased. I really like how the vocals weren't compressed, sped
up, digi-chopped, stuttered or anything like that, those methods were
instead applied to the music. I think if you like the original you
won't be disappointed with what P.O.S. did with it.
- Minus The Bear is a Riot Act Media client - I help out there -
:Shout Out Louds - The Comeback (Ratatat Remix):
If the Minus The Bear song above didn't really make you get up out of
your chair so that you could pretend that you know how to dance then I
believe Ratatat and their slick remix might inspire you to do such a thing.
My favorite stuff from this year has pretty much been decided but I might
have to make an exception so that I can add this track to the list.
:The Editors - All Sparks (Phones Remix):
The Editors just released an iTunes exclusive EP titled Remixes and
from what I hear it is pretty solid. This remix though is not on the
EP but I would be willing to bet that the stuff on there is probably as good
as what Phones did with this song, which, was apparently to make it as
move-inspiring as possible.
:Postmarks - Goodbye (Tahiti 80 Remix):
Once again I am little biased when it comes to this remix because I am a
big fan of both the Postmarks and Tahiti 80. Still, if you like good
music then this song should totally appeal to you in all of the right ways.
The original was a standout this year but I kind of like Tahiti 80's version
a little more, decide for yourself by giving it a listen.
:Tahiti 80 - Changes (Jaga Jazzist Remix):
Speaking of Tahiti 80 this song is from the bonus disc on the U.S.
edition of their latest album, Fosbury. In fact I am going to
have to recommend that you get out and pick it up because not only is the
album great but then you would have a hard copy of this song, and that alone
is worth it. Jaga Jazzist totally turns this song into something
amazing and you absolutely need to give it a listen.
