Friday Links

I was going to do a Sunday Links thing every Sunday, but why should I discriminate against the other perfectly capable days of the week? Oh yes, I went there.

So to the question of when these will happen will be subject to my personal discretion, or sometimes based on impulse or caprice (or in other words, whenever I want to). Here are your Friday Links, I expect you to click them all, because they’re all pretty much amazing.

Listen to, Preview, and HEART all of the music posted on PMA.

Frank(ie) Ramz posted this fantastic video on Pigeons & Planes. If you sort of like Asher Roth, or even sort of hate him, you might enjoy this. “I Hate High School.”

MGMT cover Nine Inch Nail’s “Closer.” Not sure how old this is, but I like it. Saw it at Rollo & Grady via Bleakey. I wanna fuck you like a DINOSAUR!

Stereogum told us that Radiohead are fast at work on an In Rainbows follow-up. Mass hysteria ensues.

Britney Spears “Circus” Officially Remixed + N.A.S.A., Mr. Oizo too

Britney Spears Circus Officially Remixed + N.A.S.A., Mr. Oizo too listen

Britney Spears – Circus (Villains Remix) / N.A.S.A. feat. M.I.A., Santogold, and Spankrock – Whatchadoin (Villains Remix)

I guess those remixes Diplo made for Britney’s “Circus” weren’t as officially as they were rumored to be. I guess it works out for the best — Villains’ remix of “Circus” is much more Saturday-Night-radio friendly and would fill up any dancefloor in a second. I’m definitely putting this one into my next party mix. While I’m at it, maybe I should add Villains remix of N.A.S.A.’s “Whatchudoin?” Listen to both after the jump Continue reading →

Tiga (& Madonna?!) – Shoes (Soulwax Production) via BBC Radio 1

Tiga (& Madonna?!) Shoes (Soulwax Production) via BBC Radio 1 listen

Pete Tong played the new Tiga single on his radio show a few nights ago and it’s pretty great. Soulwax is on the production, so you know it’s great, you don’t have to take my word for it. “Shoes” exactly how Tiga should sound like: ridiculously catchy and ruthlessly danceable.

People have been wondering who the female vocalist on the track was, but according Too Many Sebastians, the female voice IS Madonna. Really? Sure, it sounds just like her… but why is her Madgesty singing with Tiga? Is she screwing him too? You’re so bad M.

Take a listen after the jump . Tiga’s Ciao Tiga is 4/20. Continue reading →

pmaCAST #3 – The “Best Remixes of 2008″ Episode

pmaCAST #2 (ft. Gnarls Barkley, Amy Winehouse, Arcade Fire, Coldplay, TV on the Radio, and more) mp3

Alright, a lot of you left comments and emails asking me to podcast this years Best Remixes list, so here you have it. This is probably the only time I will have an episode of the pmaCAST be 100% remix. I know you have to be in a certain mood to listen to a remix, so I tend to steer clear from those in podcasts. Whatever the case, let me know how/if you like your remixes on your podcasts.

Not much so say here, refer to my Best Remixes of 2008 list for more on why I chose the remixes that I did. Enjoy your almost-an-entire hour of pmaCAST. A less danceable podcast is to come in a few days. I’m already almost done with it.

pmaCAST #3 Tracklisting
MGMT – Kids (Petshop Boys Synthpop Remix)
Kid Sister & Kanye West – Pro Nails (Simian Mobile Disco Remix)
M.I.A. – Paper Planes (Remix for the Children by Adrock)
Lil Wayne – A Milli (Flying Lotus Robo Tussin Remix)

Pretty Much Amazings Best Remixes of 2008 best of 2008

Here’s the next installment of Pretty Much Amazing’s year-end list extravaganza.

I wanted to get this list up before NYE so you can get your freak on proper. Don’t forget to leave your favorite remixes of 2008 in the comments!

Without further adieu, the best remixes of 2008 (in no particular order).

Mixmag Presents: Soulwax / Part Of NYE Never Dies

Mixmag Presents: Soulwax / Part Of NYE Never Dies mp3

Mixmag and Soulwax teamed up for their January issue on a little disc called “Part of NYE Never Dies.” It’s a 14 track retrospect of some of the biggest tunes that the 2ManyDJs have been playing, remixing or just enjoying throughout 2008. It includes tracks and remixes from Tiga, Late of the Pier, MGMT, The Chemical Brothers, Mr Oizo, Zombie Nation and more.

Enough of the pleasantries. Let’s talk about NYE (New Years Eve for you slowpokes reading this) for a bit. Maybe I’m alone here, but I think it’s pretty overrated. It’s never as fun as its supposed to be, I guess. Basically Soulwax wants to make me believe that, through this mix, “Part” of my NYE will be, in fact, immortal. Now, I’ve never partied NYE Soulwax-style before, so here’s what I’m going to do: this NYE, I’m going to blast this fantastic mix all night long — or maybe I’ll throw in a few others I have downloaded this year — and see if NYE 2008/2009 is any better than the otrocious NYE I had almost 365 days ago.

SPIN.com’s Top 25 MGMT Remixes

SPIN.com chooses its Top 25 MGMT Remixes. I like them: 

  • “All My Children” (MGMT vs. LCD Soundsystem), Immuzikation
    Immuzikation, a.ka. Athens, Georgia’s Alfredo P. Lapuz, Jr., is the mash-up man of the moment, and this extended massaging of LCD’s “All My Friends” (basically a mash-up of Steve Reich and New Order, anyway) with MGMT’s “Kids” is a fascinating mix of aging hipster regret and childlike hipster nostalgia. The soundtrack to a changing of the guard? (DOWNLOAD MP3)
  • “Nasty Feel,” MGMT vs. Justice vs. Notorious B.I.G.
    Brooklyn duo ddpesh modestly describe their music as “Daft Punk plus Premier’s beats divided by the Chemical Brothers” (um, good luck with that, fellas). But this hilariously ingenious mash-up of Biggie’s “Nasty Boy” with Justice’s remix of MGMT’s white-soul wafer “Electric Feel” gets a damn sight closer than anything they’ve ever done before. Never thought I’d hear Frank White “freekin’ these bitches like Jodeci” over the hackey-sack slow jam of the year. (DOWNLOAD MP3)
  • “Kids” (We Don’t Care EP version), MGMT
    The original, cheaply made version sounds like actual guileless kids stumbling into magic — the singing’s less affected, the drama less studio-enhanced, and when the vocals kick in after the electro breakdown and sound of children playing with about minute left to go, you honestly stop caring for a second what the hell they mean by a family of trees wanting to be haunted!

New MGMT vs. Soulwax vs. Yeah Yeah Yeahs vs. Peaches

New MGMT vs. Soulwax vs. Yeah Yeah Yeahs vs. Peaches mp3

Yeah, I know everyone is up to here with all these MGMT remixes and covers going around in some type of endless cycle, but this was just too good to ignore! Shout out to am.fm.pm for this joint, which according to them, is only a couple weeks old. Unbeknownst to Pretty Much Amazing, DJ/Producer Eve Massacre has, apparently, been killing the scene since day one. Maybe with a little more publicity, she can become the next mini blog-phenom, not unlike Immuzikation.

Take a listen to “Fuck the Kids” below: Continue reading →
