It has just occurred to me that last Wednesday was my half birthday. This is me kicking myself for wasting such great opportunities. I could’ve gone to Red Robbin and demanded a 50% discount on my meal, apposed to the free meal I’d get on my birthday. Or maybe an ice cream cone half-off, at least.
On a lighter note, PMA! has been shown some serious love from the Hype Machine. Twice this week has a track featured on this blog reached the No. 1 spot, putting the tally for No. 1’s from PMA! up to 6. Pretty sweet. Also a PMA! mention on BBC and New York Magazine made my day (week?). I’ve also a few tracks in my hands that have made my week, thank you elbo.ws!
The first one is pretty self-explanatory, Hot Chip and Diplo. Cue the ZOMG!!!!oneone!!!eleventyone!!!’s, no really, they’re in order. Maybe throw in a few OMGWTFBBQ!’s too. Don’t by shy, say it. This is Diplo. End. Of. Story. Mmkay?
Hot Chip – Shake A Fist (Diplo Remix) (YSI)
And here’s one that rocked my world earlier this summer. Courtesy of the magical Party Ben, here is one of the raddest mashups you will ever hear in your life. True story. Benny does a bang up job meshing one of the biggest songs of 2007 with one of everyones favorite 80’s kickback. You know what it is 
Rihanna vs General Public – Tender Umbrella (YSI)
Calvin Harrris barely qualifies for my iPod (gr! my iPod Touch only holds 8GB –
thus, I’m effing selective), and ‘Merrymaking at My Place’ is one of those “I like it but I don’t at the same time” songs but this mix makes it lean towards the likable side of the spectrum. Just a bit. I could live with it being shorter though.
