Ra Ra Riot – Ghost Under Rocks (Passion Pit remix)
Even though I’ve given them some love, I don’t feel like I’ve given Ra Ra Riot the love they deserve on PMA. “Ghost Under Rocks” is made up of everything I loved about Ra Ra Riot’s debut. The life affirming air of it all, the dirge-esque feel of the lyrics; almost like a memorial to a lost friend, or brooding ovation to the people who have always been there through thick and thin.
All this is taken to the next level on this captivating remix. When I told you guys to watch out for Passion Pit in 2009 (just in case you missed their single in late 2008), I wasn’t kidding.

I got my BA in Mixtapeology at my fancy Liberal Arts School
Mix – tape – ol – o – gy: New remixes and some covers you’ve (hopefully) never heard before.
Remixes on my mind
MGMT – Kids (Pet Shop Boys Synthpop Remix): Blows Soulwax’s remix out of the water. Seriously.
SebastiAn – Momy (Erol Alkan’s Simple, Yet Effective Edit): Simple, Yet Effective indeed.
Gorillaz – Dirty Harry (Disco Villains Remix): I haven’t some some sweet DV tracks in a while.
Late Of The Pier – Bathroom Gurgle (Tronik Youth Remix): Watch out for these guys next year.
DJ Mehdi – Pocket Piano (Chewy Chocolate Cookies Remix): I don’t show much love to Dh Mehdi or Chew Choco Cookies much. Hopefully this makes up for it a little.
Britney Spears – Circus (Junior Vasquez Remix Edit): I’ve decided that “Circus” is one of the best singles of 2008, oh and this remix isn’t bad either.
Gang Gang Dance – House Jam (Hot Chip Remix): I love Hot Chip and Gang Gang Dance is quickly getting on my good side. Match made in heaven.
And some covers… Continue reading →

It’s time for another contest. This one only applies to those living in the Los Angeles area.

I will be keeping one pair of tickets for myself, naturally, so that leaves us with 2 possible winners, each winning two tickets. To win, as always make sure you have subscribed to PMA! via email, if not, click here, now. I’m not really in a creative mood, even if I am playing Cold War Kids back here, so the first 2 people to crack my code and email me with it win.
