Monday Has The Beat: (Re)mixtape #27

If you haven’t noticed, though I think you have, I like remixes. In the past I have posted 26 remix mixtapes (hence the term “(re)mixtape”) on this blog and I think it’s about time we make it official. Because Friday seems to be the ubiquitous “remix post” day in the blogosphere, I decided to make [...]

New (Old? Lame?) Justice - Sure You Will

I’m always happy when people email me new (at least to me) Justice tracks from the pre-Cross era. But I was definitely taken aback when I listened to “Sure You Will”. The first thing that came to mind when I heard it was that Arctic Monkeys and Coldplay “Justice remixes” that made brief rounds. And [...]

Katy Perry ‘Kissed A Girl’… and I liked it.

Unless you have been hiding under a rock somewhere for the last handful of months or so, you have been subjected to Katy Perry’s teen anti-pop songs with song titles influenced by various forms of homosexuality, menstruation, sex and other things a Pastor’s daughter shouldn’t really be singing about. Katy Perry really hit gold when [...]

Festival Off!

 
Over here in Britain, ‘to festival’ has become the fashionable verb of the in-crowd. Everyone ‘does’ them, so to speak – from Kate Moss to David Tennant (our current Dr. Who). Indeed, 2008 could well be the year of the trendy festival. But when did - with all the celebrity buzz and media hype - [...]

Reviving That Alleged Justice Remix

About five months ago, I posted this Justice Remix of the Arctic Monkeys’ “When I Sun Goes Down”. It somehow found its way into my inbox, a little bit after the major wave of D.A.N.C.E.H.Y.P.E. died down (and its still dying!). Now, from the get-go, the remix was pretty weak and vaguely resembled anything to [...]

Funny Games With Random Tunes

I received some very good news today. I’m going to see three fantastic shows this wee. Jose Gonzalez, Tokyo Police Club, and the Black Keys. You should be very jealous. Very.
Also, over the weekend I had the opportunity to watch Funny Games. Basically in a nutshell, its about two psychotic young men that take a [...]
