Friday (I'm A Remix)

I like work weeks that just fly by, especially when you've scheduled a crazy busy weekend. This week started off with a long Monday then just zipped to Friday like it was nothing. Why is that? Is it the excess work load I've had this week? Not sure. Who cares. Here's some remixes that will hopefully slow your weekend down.

mp3: Ra Ra Riot - Each Year (RAC Remix)
mp3: Sally Shapiro - Time To Let Go (CFCF Remix)
mp3: Justice - DVNO (Surkin Remix)

The Run Down - Friday November 30, 2007

November's going out with a bang. Well in the Baltimore/DC/Philly area it is. As I said yesterday, if you missed M.I.A. at the 9:30 last night in DC, be sure to check out her set at Sonar tonight in Baltimore. If you're traveling north, why not swing by North Star, where Via Audio, The High Strung, and The Teeth are playing. Finally if you want even more great indie rock then drop down to DC where Ra Ra Riot, These United States, and Jukebox The Ghost will be tearing down the Rock and Roll Hotel. Good Times!
