Play Something Familiar

2007-10-04T18:42:00.000-07:00

No, billy liar doesn't have his hands in his pocket, but here's a couple songs for you to put in yours.

oh, and by the way, i'm a BIG fan of having multiple versions of the same song. in case you hadn't caught on i'm into mashups, remixes, and covers.

so here come a couple songs that are meant to sound familiar. where are they from? take a listen and guess.

Kanye West - Stronger

Kanye West - Young Folks

Timbaland - The Way I Are

Britney vs. Timbaland (tofuspeaks mashup) - Gimme The Way

for more versions of the Kanye West dub over, look down.

Kanye West - Stronger (Mano remix)

Kanye West - Stronger (A-Trak remix)

it's mildly saddening that i heard timbaland for the first time when i was listening to the walkman at the dentist,

and the second one i saw on a tv and my boyfriend's work at AE.

but blogs aren't for shame. they're for pride. good songs. listen now.

hilarity incarnate

Sorry about the delay between posts, folks. I've been a busy beaver! No, but seriously the last couple weeks has been really intense. How intense? I hope to forget. But as you can see it is due time for another few songs to get the music world back on it's tracks, so here they come. Straight outta my itunes.

Chromeo - Tenderoni (MSTRKRFT remix)

Architecture in Helsinki - Hold Music

the Long Winters -Blue Diamonds

So there you have it! A tofulicious bit of tunes. Until next time, loyal listeners.

Remixes to Ride Dirty to

2007-08-26T22:19:00.000-07:00

Just giving a little insight into what's hot on my list right now. I'm a total sucker for remixes and mashups. But it's because i'm convinced that just because a song has been released as a final product, doesn't mean it shouldn't be fiddled with or taken to a new perspective. On that note, I've got 3 sweet remixes or mash-ups that remind me what life is like in colour.

Dntel - (This Is) The Dream Of Evan And Chan (Safety Scissors Spilled My Drink Mix Featuring Erlend Øye)

Feist - 1234 (Van She Technologic remix)

The Knife vs Ratatat - We Share Our Mother's Health

and then comes this other song featured in the film Shortbus. a candy coated song about riding dirty.

Jay Brannan - Soda Shop

IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A SCISSOR

2007-08-21T01:16:00.000-07:00

so, great things happen when the ipod is on shuffle. tripped over this beaut, in the meantime. i had the second vocalist narrowed down to either bobby birdman, or erlend oye. Turns out, it's our buddy erlend. Have a listen

Safety Scissors (feat. Erlend Øye) - Sunlight's on the other side

and another band i hadn't heard of until recently from my boy, matt. This is a beautiful remix of a song by the band Dear and the Headlights.

Dear and the Headlights - It's Gettin' Easy (Joy E Remix)

enjØye.

FUN NEW GAME!

Which (if any) of these is really the sounds?!

just kiddin. but really, they all do sound pretty damn similar, but in a good way. it's okay for things to sound similar if they're as good as this. have a listen. it's delicious.

ROBOTS in disguise - Turn it UP

CSS - Lets Make Love (and Listen to Death From Above)

The Sounds - Queen of Apology (Patrick Stump Remix)
