weekenditty: **NEW** "San Luis Obispo" - Scissor Sisters

This is the perfect summer song.  And, as you may know, I am currently in the center of the sun (Arizona), hiding from it inside my casita like Anne Frank.  

In any case, you should enjoy this one... not only because it's a leak, but because it speaks to good things  coming from Scissor Sisters after a couple of ho-hum albums.  I am really excited to see what they are going to drop with this album.  Only the Horses finally came into my good graces, and Let's Have a Kiki is simply awesome gay WERQ.   

Enjoy! (the downloadable is not the live track, but the album cut)

fresh: "Take A Walk" - (new!) Passion Pit

With a new album, Gossamer, slated to drop July 24, Passion Pit is back and sounding more pop-laden than ever.  I've never been the biggest fan of Passion Pit, but I have really enjoyed a lot of their tracks (especially the remixes).  

I would definitely dive into this track and make your own decision as to its quality.  The jury is definitely still out for me.  The one thing I will say to the negative is that the lyricism is a little weak, but the positive is that it's still has an infectious chorus.

Get on it.

Additionally, check out this really interesting cover they did of the CLASSSSSSSSIC Dreams, by The Cranberries.

essential: "Believe Me Natalie" - The Killers

My favorite track, ever, (which is hard to believe, I know) by The Killers has always been (since first hearing them in 2004) Believe Me Natalie.  

GET THE SONG

It is a beautiful orchestral song with big drums, beautiful synths, vocals that range from soft to angsty (which Brandon Flowers does so well), and is highlighted by a fanfare that is nothing short of bittersweet.  The song emits what I often love in music: a mixture of almost contradictory emotions that work together seamlessly.  

The Killers are at their best here- hands down.  They were trying hard and succeeding effortlessly, and that was seen through the entirety of the masterpiece of Hot Fuss.  The only sad part about this is that of the three times I have witnessed The Killers (2004, 2007, 2008) play live, they have never played this track.  But, hope springs eternal, as the amount of requests for it have started to make them play it live more often (see below). 

Essential beyond belief.  Enjoy!  

weekenditty: "Eros & Apollo" (MAJR remix) - Studio Killers

After a few months, this is my first remix in quite some time.  I used only the pieces of the original track here and had a blast reworking it into a dance floor jam.  Studio Killers are really interesting as an act, and I think they could have a big future if they keep producing tracks like this.  In any case, this is further proof that the best pop music in the world comes from Scandinavia.  Enjoy!

remix monday: "Time to Dance (SebastiAn remix)" - The Shoes

This is such a fantastic indie dance track, it must be shared.  The Shoes are my shit right now, and are definitely worth a listen for the ignorant ear.  And, it helps that SebastiAn's remixes (though few and far between) are reliable.  

The original is one of my favorite songs, and this remix is in a BPM range that allows me to play it live.  I even sneak it into my pop sets while the plastics aren't paying attention.  So, while you enjoy this lovely remix, also check out the (very long video for the) original track, below.  Oh, and it features Mr. Brokeback Mountain himself.  The bottom.

weekenditty: a remix that tears Rihanna up (AGAIN!)

So it's been a week.  I'm sorry.  Life has been unrelenting, and I have been prioritizing in a way that definitely says 'fuck you' to all the fun things in my life.  Adulthood.  Womp.

Here's a track I've been tinkering with for a few weeks, and finally I put the finishing touches on it and sent it on its soundcloud-merry way this morning.


Rihanna is still my big disappointment of the year, as far as lead-up-letdowns, but this remix almost saves her self-hating, masochistic ass.  I hope you dig it. 

DOWNLOAD THE BITCH NOW

This edit is half personal statement, and half massive appreciation for the original remix which is, to say the least, very chill-pop, elongated, and beautiful (great for walking).  I wanted to transfer that energy into a dance track ready for the bars, and here you go!  Enjoy!

fresh: "Alive (Basto remix)" - Adrian Lux ft. The Good Natured

Not. Too. Shabby.

Fresh to me, despite the fact that it is actually 4 months old. Shut up. I like The Good Natured, as she is an upcoming talent in the mold of Lily Allen (who is, indeed, my boo). Adrain Lux means little to me, but that could change.

That is all. Thank you.

essential: warm weather = sexy fiona

As the weather warms (an understatement here in the other sunshine state), my music tastes change thusly. One of my favorite songs for the lazy warm days is a (rare) happy song by Fiona Apple. The First Taste is a happy slut song for all your whores out there looking for a hedonistic anthem sung in the key of a drunken Sunday afternoon. Woohoo!
