Sounds of Summer
Release, Remix, Short Post (0)
It's always kinda funny being lodged in the Southern Hemisphere, and watching all the wonderful summer festival themed dance and indie music emerge from the North side just as we spiral into the depths of winter. Musical irony is awesome. But either way, here's a quick mish-mash of a post featuring a couple of disparate tracks that have been filtering musical sunshine through my ears of late. First up is the wonderful Summerized Club remix of 'Cocked Locked' by Monosurround. Man, this tune puts me in mind of the good ol' innocent days of electro. At the beginning of last year. ...

Love is All Do Covers
Short Post, indie as fuck (2)
Following on from the two-and-a-half-years-late 'Nine Times That Same Song' remix album (previously profiled here), Swedish lo-fi rockers Love is All continue to dribble out small tasters in the lead-up to the still unannounced autumn (our spring) release of their second album. This time through they handed out a bunch of self-recorded CDRs at some of their gigs in May, which featured the band playing five covers, one chosen by each member. As they explain on their MySpace, "the idea behind this was that each member got to pick a song they wanted the band to cover and no other ...

Disco Sirens Remixed
Remix, Short Post (1)
Hey look, Ned, no partial nudity this time! As much as I am a purist in regards to the original track, I actually really enjoy this remix. Midfield General - Disco Sirens (Meterhead Remix) Thanks, IHEARTCOMIX. - bec

So Much Lykke
Release, Remix, Short Post (1)
I was vaguely tempted to handball this across to Ned in the vain hope that I might not look quite so stalker-ish by writing two posts on the same woman in one calendar fortnight... But hey it is Lykke Li. And anyway, I can totally justify it on the grounds that it's more about Fred Falke and the Black Kids than it is Lykke. Because it is. Totally. Anyway, the 'I'm Good, I'm Gone' promo dropped last week through 679 Recordings and it comes with some glorious remixes courtesy of Metronomy, Fred Falke (who really seems to be able to ...

Supermayer Go Acoustic (Sort Of…)
Remix, Short Post (1)
Not that I thought I'd see myself doing requests, but my interest was piqued when I received an email asking about minimal mega-teamSupermayer's remix of the seemingly everywhere 'Heart's a Mess' by Melbourne's Gotye (the exceptional Ocelot remix of which has been previously profiled here). A little bit of exploration later and I discover not only that particular gem, but also Supermayer's similarly under-publicised remix of Rufus Wainwright's 'Tiergarten'. And best of all, they're both stunning. And epic. The Rufus one clocks in at 13 minutes. Whew. Perfect fodder for your Saturday afternoon. Settle in with some chocolate and wine ...

Plimsouls Saves The Day
Remix, Short Post (9)
It's safe to say I've had better weeks. Finding out that the tumour growing on the top of my right lung was essentially inoperable did not, it must be said, make for an overly enjoyable Wednesday afternoon. 'Essentially' in that it is operable, but any operation would require the removal of my right arm from the shoulder down. Which is not the most palatable concept I've ever been presented with. So instead I've opted for more chemo, and the long-term uncertainty that comes with leaving a hopefully dormant tumour inside your body. Fun times. And I was kinda down about ...

Happy Easter!
Short Post (2)
So I Google-Imaged 'evil bunny' and this is what came up. I don't get it. But ok, I did grow up with Watership Down, and those rabbits were nothing but tiny, long-eared, forest-dwelling satans who liked to chew each other's faces off... Now I get it. I knew a girl in highschool whose parents gave her pyjamas every year for Easter instead of chocolate. What a shit substitute. She wasn't even allergic.
