Yes. A1 Bassline is back, and I'm glad to see it. 1:38, nice name drop and horror synth combo. Incorporating more glitch, as well as 'grime' into his remix makes this tune top notch. Oh, and keep a lookout for grime. Methinks next dubstep (but better).<br />2. Danger, danger! You're getting into dangerous territory, Danger! Danger, have you no sense of what is dangerous? Danger! But not at his finest. But still Danger. Danger!<br />3. This, my friends, is what Danger should be producing.

My computer died on me. Probably too much of me using iTunes (or the fact that it was positively ancient). Transferring all my data took a while, and getting my head around all this computer nonsense took weeks. So, hopefully, I'll be getting a new (quad core) computer soon, and getting back to blogging (regularly).<br /><br />There will be changes coming to this blog. So hang tight!<br /><br />Cassian is starting to promote aggressively, you can see it all over Melbourne. Aggressively playing at various clubs, aggressively launching various EPs (one), and, of course, aggressively distributing various promotional music. Which is odd, as his music is not at all aggressive, but funkified and full of groove. Except that <span style="font-style: italic;">I'll Get Yeww!</span> remix.

Love this. <span style="font-style: italic;">Peanuts Club</span>, has gotten much attention from various musicians and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">bloggers</span>, including remix work, so <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Noob</span> & <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Brodinski</span> can be proud of their efforts. I'll be looking at the less popular, but equally polished remixes, since you've probably already heard the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Beatacue</span> one.<br /><br />LA Riots are veteran <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">remixers</span>, and this track is no exception, showcasing their ever increasing arsenal of synths, editing skills, and somewhat pre-packaged sounding drum beats. As you would expect from LA Riots, the song thuds along at first, until the squealing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">synth</span> starts to kick in.<br /><br />Now, I've been keeping this little gem to myself until the right opportunity to post it came along, and here it is. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Buttonmasher</span>, a young man hailing from Melbourne, Australia, remixed the song in question many (blog) years ago, and, it's pretty darn good.

His remix of <span style="font-style: italic;">Drown In The Now</span>, is almost entirely glitch with a base of a simple Danger track, which is strange for a Danger remix, but hey, it's Danger. <span style="font-style: italic;">4h30</span> is very typical Danger, but I dig the heavier beats and occasional 90's house kick.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?nttmkly5h3y">The Crystal Method - Drown In The Now (Danger Remix)</a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?gyn2jg3xwz2">Danger - 4h30</a><br /><br />Oh, look at this. Mille put out a remix too, which sounds very similar to early Danger, except it has a blissful intro and wonderfully peaceful vocals. Opinion? You know you want it.

Danger is moving further and further away from his signature sound, to a fuzzy, less engaging one, although that lovely Danger sound does kick in later on in the track. Personally, I don't think it's time to move away just yet, and that Danger has indeed not pulled 'all the right moves'. I am so witty.<br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?bw2g5m0zzek"><br />One Republic - All The Right Moves (Danger Remix)</a><br /><br />Damn. It's as if A1 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Bassline</span> read my blog post and said to himself "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Rarche</span> is right. What am I doing?". He did everything right, emphasizing a heavier, grittier <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">dubstep</span>, more glitch, and even the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Rasta</span>.

When A1 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_42">Bassline</span> does things right, he does them right. This is a near perfect remix of <span style="font-style: italic;">New In Town </span>(still don't know why he changed the title).

Little Boots - <span style="font-style: italic;">Hands</span><br />To be honest, I'm surprised that Little Boots' album <span style="font-style: italic;">Hands</span> wasn't the success I expected. It's catchy, melodic pop, yet it wasn't catchy enough to catch on. Little Boots' vocals blend seamlessly with the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">synths</span>, and, for pop, the lyrics aren't overly soppy or risque (though, admittedly, a few songs are). Regardless of it's lack of commercial success, <span style="font-style: italic;">Hands</span> is still a fairly solid album, one that Victoria <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Hesketh</span> should be proud of.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?zydmd1mqaym">Little Boots - Remedy</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg62wQUh337SI4boFkReJu4Od-4Idtn1jNxe66nJ5GNfpw-Xxf2fT8nxDjHvO5_0xe5DY-rMpuIucjDjD79h3oy-XMa_6sfn1XYcT-KqmVAwUBqwiMsaJCJHMsj3-qIokWIEh409_fnZ_Y/s1600-h/157.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg62wQUh337SI4boFkReJu4Od-4Idtn1jNxe66nJ5GNfpw-Xxf2fT8nxDjHvO5_0xe5DY-rMpuIucjDjD79h3oy-XMa_6sfn1XYcT-KqmVAwUBqwiMsaJCJHMsj3-qIokWIEh409_fnZ_Y/s320/157.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421238002530713266" border="0" /></a>4. Phoenix - <span style="font-style: italic;">Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix</span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Ahh</span>, Phoenix. Your songs have been <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">misquoted</span> by people all over the globe, and you should be proud of it. The key? Being wonderfully simple. In a time where Frenchmen are using more and more electronic trickery, and making their music increasingly more complex and layered, Phoenix said no. And for this, their music stands out. Phoenix is one of the few bands that have managed to be <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">accessible</span> to the populace, yet simultaneously retain their indie-cred, which is no mean feat.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?gn0ttxm35mf">Phoenix - <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Lisztomania</span></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjODyhhMedcgSCwOFj5ZKonMDZCjcs4bzMPDIAVk3Yd2g78Po1Khr6ZnLRh7CtPIWFruLmmVodZTvMGA0t42iA5yEYDR2UZQhgHkCHDwPHoFvZz1sj0E05IoNsqcme0f6Ri7t0MNC4U3Kk/s1600-h/158.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjODyhhMedcgSCwOFj5ZKonMDZCjcs4bzMPDIAVk3Yd2g78Po1Khr6ZnLRh7CtPIWFruLmmVodZTvMGA0t42iA5yEYDR2UZQhgHkCHDwPHoFvZz1sj0E05IoNsqcme0f6Ri7t0MNC4U3Kk/s320/158.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421238012960751442" border="0" /></a>3. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">DatA</span> - <span style="font-style: italic;">Skywriter</span><br />From the velvety vocals of Sebastien <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Grainger</span>, and the impeccable smoothness of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">DatA's</span> production, comes <span style="font-style: italic;">Skywriter</span>. The album has the ability to make you stare up at the sky in wonder, or turn your eyes to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">dancefloor</span>.

Passion Pit - <span style="font-style: italic;">Manners</span><br />If there's one album here that can make me smile, it's <span style="font-style: italic;">Manners</span>. Seemingly created exclusively for summer, it's wonderfully charming and youthful, thanks to the heavy use of children for backing vocals.

Sounding like it's been taken straight from a live mix, <span style="font-style: italic;">Golden <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Traxe</span></span> is intricately detailed in a way that other artists could only dream of replicating. From the wide range of electronic music genres it takes influence from, to the incredibly consistent and varied <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">synthwork</span> and distortion going on, and the abundant number of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">microsamples</span> and glitches, it's clear that Shadow Dancer knows their stuff, and, more importantly, how to pull it off.

Fake Blood - <span style="font-style: italic;">Fix Your Accent</span><br />Blew my mind when I heard this. When I got my hands on this, I was expecting something similar to <span style="font-style: italic;">Mars</span>. The Chicago House sound hit me hard, knocked me down, and made me completely forget about the type of song I was originally expecting from Fake Blood, which could be found in <span style="font-style: italic;">The Dozens</span> if need arose.

What I mean by disappointment, is that, like an underachieving genius, they <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">could have</span> done a lot better.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />Danger </span>: 09/16/2007 was underwhelming, and the most recent Danger remix of 2009, of <span style="font-style: italic;">Give It All You Got</span> by Lil Jon, wasn't 'dangerous' enough, in the try-something-different sense, as well as the pun sense. Compare this to 2008, where Danger released a slew of top-notch remixes, and you'll see why he's in this particular <span style="font-style: italic;">Round Up</span>.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2010? </span>: Not entirely sure, but Danger should pull through with an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">EPIII</span></span> and album next year. I suspect the reason why 2009 was such a letdown was because he was preparing for his new album, which should be an engulfing, surrealistic experience.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mwjmzz1yya4">Danger - 88h88(80<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Kidz</span></span> Remix)</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A1 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Bassline</span></span></span> : A1 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Bassline</span></span> has the intros, the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">outros</span></span>, and the build ups down (his build ups are top notch). So what has he done wrong in '09? Choosing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">dubstep</span></span> for his drops. It's not that fidgety, gritty <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">dubstep</span></span>, but a rapid, fast firing type, which even though appeals to me more than most <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">dubstep</span></span>, it's still <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">dubstep</span></span>. But now it has shifted away from the rapid fire <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">dubstep</span></span>, to a high pitched, whooping type, which, quite frankly, destroys the entire track. It's a shame really, as I really enjoy his <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">newfound</span></span> style of glitched Jamaican <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Rasta</span></span> vocals.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2010?</span> : Emphasise the Jamaican <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Rasta</span></span>, add more glitch, drop the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">dubstep</span></span>, or at least make it filthier, and 2010 shall be a great year.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mz3ryn3ozgn">Little Boots - Remedy (A1 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Bassline</span></span> Get Hype Remix)</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bag Raiders</span> : Bag Raiders had <span style="font-weight: bold;">the</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">EP</span></span> of 2008. Both <span style="font-style: italic;">Turbo Love </span>and <span style="font-style: italic;">Shooting Stars</span> were faultless, truly. Bag Raiders also had some of the finest remixes of last year, in particular, their remix of <span style="font-style: italic;">Far Away</span> by Cut Copy, which I now deem to be a perfect remix.

Inside the bag of lollies are chocolate, jersey caramels, and fruit chews, but with them lie <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">liquorice</span>, industrial strength popping candy, as well as the occasional sweet proudly claiming that it has 'no poison'. All in all, the good and the bad are in the same bag.<br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Fred <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Falke</span></span> : In a time where peaceful, dream-like <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">synths</span> are gaining in popularity, you would think that one of the behemoths of the genre would stick to it. Apparently not. Even though I applaud him for having, what we Australians call, the balls to change, I'm not too sure about his new sound. But Mr. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Falke</span> is wise enough to keep enough of his sunshine <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">synth</span> in his productions to keep people hooked, and by changing his sound he's opening himself up to new fans and horizons, so I guess you can say Mr. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Falke</span> is one smart cookie.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2010?</span> : As long as he retains enough of his signature sunshine, 2010 should be a healthy year for Mr. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Falke</span>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mwljyll1yzm">Burns - First Move (Fred <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Falke</span> Remix)</a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />The Twelves</span> : I don't know if it's just me, but a lot of the stuff from The Twelves just sounds stale and unappealing to me now. On the other hand, sometimes it's absolutely brilliant, oozing funk and glitter. Even so, I shouldn't have to force myself to listen to the majority of their remixes.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2010?</span> : Should be a stellar year for The Twelves, considering the amount of blog love they get. Although they haven't been churning out as many remixes lately, but this probably means an album is in the works.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?u1atuymclia">Terry Poison - <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Comme</span> Ci <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Comme</span> Ca (The Twelves Remix)</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Bloody Beetroots </span>: The Bloody Beetroots have had a very successful year. <span style="font-style: italic;">Warp</span> was an incredibly popular track, as was their album (it was advertised here in Australia on posters, which is uncommon). Problem is, a lot of <span style="font-style: italic;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Romborama</span></span> is crud, as are the remixes that were aimed at capturing a wider audience. However, The Bloody Beetroots still manage to occasionally put out gems that hit us hard or make us cry (not really), and remind us just why we fell in love with them in the first place.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2010? </span>: Although it probably won't be as successful as 2009, 2010 should treat The Bloody Beetroots quite well, especially if they can afford to set Pioneer <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">CDJ</span>1000s on fire.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?uyhunyzjeqv">Proxy - Who Are You?

Sorry it's on Boxing Day. However...<br /><br />It was once taboo to give out presents on Christmas, as it was considered a holy day (how we've changed). Most gifts were in fact given out on Boxing Day, and it was a more common practice to give to servants and employees, rather than people of a higher social standing. What usually happened, was that presents that the rich people received, or an item that they no longer had a use for, was simply repackaged, and then given away. Thus, the art of regifting was born.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?vafycdhtnzf">Classixx - I'll Get You (Coulson Edit)</a><br /><br />Servant, download this song.COULSONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03283743212983842624noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415435453024488799.post-54442606363307737492009-12-23T20:29:00.002+11:002009-12-23T22:47:51.588+11:00Heatwave<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZeJlBrBTKtDzuqiMghCBsVxCIwlrHhCc9xkgaMisBd9OEkw_jrCB2O4j9k0KtJVqiH7kfI4xraXO_se03_peSdLlg8OujYot0j34UxLmDYIzyKwAryFYCODqGlgcMZfyLYn9_B-TnYtk/s1600-h/154.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZeJlBrBTKtDzuqiMghCBsVxCIwlrHhCc9xkgaMisBd9OEkw_jrCB2O4j9k0KtJVqiH7kfI4xraXO_se03_peSdLlg8OujYot0j34UxLmDYIzyKwAryFYCODqGlgcMZfyLYn9_B-TnYtk/s320/154.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418361975506793682" border="0" /></a><br />My legs are being seared by the heat, and my feet are starting to melt.

I have a frame, two dodgy wheels, and a handlebar. It's a load of crap, but at least I'll be doing my bit for the environment. Not only am I not clogging the atmosphere with pollution from my car, but I'm making it from second hand parts, so that things are recycled.

In my opinion, the A-Trak remix <span style="font-weight: bold;">should</span> be in this bout for the <span style="font-style: italic;">WhoDIB? </span>title, but I'd like to overlook that, and turn your attention to these other remixes of <span style="font-style: italic;">Heads Will Roll</span>, which have both sadly received little attention. The two tracks in question are from Little Vampire (taking advantage of the Twilight craze?) and James Iha.<br /><br />Little Vampire's remix starts off with a simple gated synth, then has some galloping distorted bass thrown into the mix. It then, gradually but surely, kicks into a chorus that is layered with chords, several synths and drum beats. Little Vampire's take on <span style="font-style: italic;">Heads Will Roll</span> is great in that it barely stops for a rest. Great.<br /><br />James Iha kicks his remix off with a nifty little panning effect, with added sparkle. This is just a prelude to the track itself. The whole remix is polished, handled with aplomb and ease, and has an abundance of twinkles, piano, trumpet, orchestral strings, and congos. It simply is lovely, charming and wonderfully upbeat. I'm in love.<br /><br />WhoDIB? Little Vampire or James Iha?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mmvet3dymfy">Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll (Little Vampire Remix)</a><br /><strike>Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll (James Iha Remix)</strike><br /><br />James Iha. I might even go as far as to say it's better than A-Trak's remix.COULSONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03283743212983842624noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415435453024488799.post-58391812137339288342009-12-02T00:38:00.005+11:002010-01-04T23:26:14.690+11:00Round Up: November<span style="font-weight: bold;">November</span> has been eliminated.

Bag Raiders - All The Girls</a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?yutm5nhg2zm">2. Arctic Monkeys - Cornerstone (Acoustic Version)</a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?kyzjtwt52wx">3. Wolfmother - Woman (MSTRKRFT Remix)</a><br /><br />Commentary:<br />1. I'll be honest here. Probably the worst<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span> song I've ever heard from Bag Raiders for three years.<br />2. It's not <span style="font-weight: bold;">that</span> different to the album version, but I guess less grizzliness and fuzziness is always a good thing. Unless it's a banger. Of course.<br />3. Ahh, MSTRKRFT. I remember a time when MSTRKRFT were my favourite remixers. Fast forward to '09, and it's Fake Blood. Still, this is a gleaming example of why I was completely enamoured with MSTRKRFT. Brilliant.<br /><br />Top 3 Most Underappreciated:<a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ygyzdozw2yl"></a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mayzgjaqm2m">1. Asobi Seksu - Familiar Light (Twins Remix)</a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mttzjonfezn">2. Pelifics - Forever (Hemingway Remix)</a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?wz2n1tm2m2j">3. Shadow Dancer - Soap</a><br /><br />Commentary:<br />1. Asobi Seksu fit the definition of a 'cool' band, one that is 'hip' and 'hop' (unlike me). Twins remixes this track seemlessly, and the end result is gorgeous.<br />2. Smooth, and handled with utter panache and style. Typical Hemingway, this kid's going somewhere.<br />3. Drop, drop, drop. Glitch, glitch, glitch. That's all I can say about <span style="font-style: italic;">Soap</span>, except that it's also good for cleaning oneself.<br /><br />Bonus For Rarchesters:<br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?v5tymzanyt4">MPHO - Box N Locks</a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?xdxlzdmnmcd">Cassius - Almost Cut My Hair</a>COULSONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03283743212983842624noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415435453024488799.post-53074618963292182962009-11-29T22:39:00.006+11:002010-01-18T15:51:33.545+11:0018 Hours Sleep<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifpqr-XQiimYQbdKjN1oxKgF-2_Htzgi0j4qHoJ48QfACkrHU5wR0QasswRIrJH-fofns0YWWMaO-A-LeEN1t5dhVX5OtMvibjQomuBYPBNwgQ4eWZ5p2-opMkNUEMrIzISUmlyBBv6B0/s1600/146.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifpqr-XQiimYQbdKjN1oxKgF-2_Htzgi0j4qHoJ48QfACkrHU5wR0QasswRIrJH-fofns0YWWMaO-A-LeEN1t5dhVX5OtMvibjQomuBYPBNwgQ4eWZ5p2-opMkNUEMrIzISUmlyBBv6B0/s320/146.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409494814745648530" border="0" /></a><br />I had 18 hours of sleep last night, so I'm groggy and lethargic.

It buzzes and reverberates along at a frantic pace, and the whole song just screams, erm, I love London? Sorry. Stuck for a description.<br /><br />80Kidz and Kid Cola (play the two remixes at the same time for an 80KidzCola remix) both apply squelching, squealing synths, but in slightly different ways. 80Kidz maintain the hectic feel of the original, as well as adding a 90's techno rave stab, while Kid Cola slows it right down, showing off a more fidgety type of approach.<br /><br />Oh, Crystal Fighters remix for you kids. Hurried and brilliant, as always.<br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ynod2uqjzmn"><br />Crystal Fighters - I Love London</a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?n04tj2nylwm">Crystal Fighters - I Love London (80Kidz Remix)</a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?dmkn5mgdmoz">Crystal Fighters - I Love London (Kid Cola Remix)</a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?dt5rnqmreiz">Two Door Cinema Club - I Can Talk (Crystal Fighters Remix)</a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span><br />The unmistakeably Spanish accent shouting <span style="font-style: italic;">I Love London</span> reminds me of a Japanese tourist I once saw in Cambodia. He wanted to buy a souvenir, which was fixed at a price of 10 American dollars. Despite the tourists attempt to haggle, the Cambodian vendor stood by the original price. The persistent tourist then started to say <span style="font-style: italic;">I Love Cambodia</span> in a heavy Japanese accent. Needless to say, the tourist got the price down to 7 American dollars.COULSONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03283743212983842624noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415435453024488799.post-13383305192745568822009-11-23T00:14:00.004+11:002009-11-29T22:45:30.243+11:00Ceebs<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjADi2dXSjNu_5ygIM1BsMmec9TP4J3nBxkqeqxpzs7PZeTo_bTyh_D1w9g56ZvlWbfeDcjc9hyadET8WjPk_4QI0DJMfsZjHOJ6qwACxa8LenU70ljrqIwfynhwrIQoaJN9t09bjyoUno/s1600/144.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjADi2dXSjNu_5ygIM1BsMmec9TP4J3nBxkqeqxpzs7PZeTo_bTyh_D1w9g56ZvlWbfeDcjc9hyadET8WjPk_4QI0DJMfsZjHOJ6qwACxa8LenU70ljrqIwfynhwrIQoaJN9t09bjyoUno/s320/144.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406916649852869154" border="0" /></a><br />Make The Girl Dance = French Electro Pop<br />Pomomofo = Decent remix of vibrant Indie tune<br />Calling In Sick = Heavy and distorted, with occasional power rock solo<br />Adam Kesher = Typical The Shoes remix<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mlo4minykmi">Make The Girl Dance - Baby Baby Baby</a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ml5ind3tgut">Pomomofo - Island (Hey Now Remix)</a><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?kihlzx51qzn"> (LINK FIXED)<br />Calling In Sick - Belgrave 2</a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?5eymzmzmmzj">Adam Kesher - Local Girl (The Shoes Remix)</a><br /><br />Yeah.
