John Legend - Rolling In The Deep Feat. Kenton Dunson (Kenton Dunson Remix) This is a pretty sweet take on the Adele hit - kind of church. I like John's voice a lot, and the rap is pretty good too.
Need You Now (Architecture in Helsinki Version) - Cut Copy This is just awesome. Architecture In Helsinki have completely altered the vibe of the original from dance floor stomper to Roy Orbison/Chris Isaak-y crooner ballad. And it really is quite lovely. Really.
Hammocks and Honey - Toolz (Faux Pas Remix) Spellbinder is the first release from Aussie electronic duo Prudence Rees-Lee and Alex Nosek - Hammocks and Honey. Prudence is a classically trained cellist turned synth obsessive, while Alex is a member of experimental electronic outfit ii. Baroque chord progressions collide with hypnotic, pulsating beats, tropical percussion and the purest of pop sensibilities. This lush, dreamy remix is courtesy of SIART fave Faux Pas.
Land of Bingo - Bottle It In Land of Bingo - Headwarmer The Knocks - Aint Too Proud To Beg Boombox Saints - Bringin' The Boom Back Bangers & Mash! - Switch (Remix)Phoenix - Lisztomania (Daze Remix) Albert - Murder Laden Indie Finger (Take A Biff Off) GAYNGS - Coercion Van (MK Larada Regrind)
The Idle Hands - Socialite Death Squad ________________
My favorite Twin Cities band The Idle Hands are springing back into action with a new EP, Life Is Beautiful. Fans of Brit pop and danceable indie rock should check these guys out.
I have always loved to share my favorite music, going way back to my mix tape days of the early '80s. This blog is an extension of that, a sort of an ongoing mix tape.
If you like what you hear I encourage you to go out and buy the CD, LP, cassette, 7" or 12". Support the artists who make the music.
