Yesterday morning, scary news that Passion Pit’s debut album, Manners was being pushed back hit the Twitterverse. Later that afternoon, InSound reported that the album was indeed back on track and will be released on May 19th. Thank goodness!
Good Passion Pit news keeps on coming, today the band announced a remix contest for one of the tracks off Manners, “Little Secret.” The band is offering up snippets of the original track. No stems, just snippets — so this will challenge you to bring your best remix game. I challenge you PMA readers to enter this contest! Email me/comment with mediafire/zshare links to YOUR “Little Secret” Remix, and you WILL see it here.
(I strongly suggest you check out the comments section for downloads of the different stems and tips from other remixers)
Read on for the mp3 and the official message via DailyGrindBlog
Passion Pit is offering up snippets from “Little Secrets” right here, a full month before the track is available with the May 19th release of Manners. They want you to take those pieces and build your own songs around them. All you have to do is offer up your email address and you’ll be sent a stem snippet of the unreleased track. Trade with your fellow remixers and musicians until you have all the snippets, or just create a new composition around the one piece you have.
Hover over the shapes on the player to hear the snippets. Submit your info on the player, and when you receive your piece, get to work – the sky’s the limit, add synths, guitar, cowbell, more children’s choirs, your best Michael impression. Post the results here, where fans will vote for their ten favorites until May 15th. After voting closes, Passion Pit will pick five remixes to be released along with a special vinyl version of “Little Secrets,” while the five runners up will receive a copy of the vinyl and a signed CD of Manners. Official contest rules here.
Sweet! Here’s a two minute clip of “Little Secret” to mold into your remix.
I’m expecting AMAZING REMIXES people!

ok and David thanks alot but I did that but its like MPEG 4 and Audacity isn’t converting that either, but I guess MPEG 4 is alot easier to convert than AIFF? I didn’t get any “Create MP3 version” when I right clicked, only “Create AAC version” so thats what I did
Ok so David that ZIP had some problem can you please reupload? I would honestly kill for an MP3/Wav version of all this, please
Other David can you re-upload that or just the one I need? All I need from it is keys_verse though.
ok so I just did it another way, first do what david said “Haha. So you right click, open with iTunes. Once it opens, you can right click and hit Create MP3 version. It’ll send it to wherever your iTunes sends ripped music and will be in Unknown Artist, Unknown Album” for me it was create ACC but whatev then from there use the link below to change to MP3

The good news: it works. Bad news: Chops off the last second or so cuz I didn’t pay. I’m ok, Thru pitch correction and looping I’ve gotten most fixed but it chops off “complain” on the Bridge, so I had to Loop Friends and have it fade out, sounds weird.
whoa! so much effort! looks like a major pain in the ass without even having gotten to the all important remixing aspect of it….
my ears and i are just gonna be waiting for the results…
ok If U ppl post the remaining 6 then I’ll zip all 20 as an MP3
And it won’t chop any off, if you post the remaining 6 stems I WILL POST ALL 20 AS AN MP3
