Friday (I'm A Remix)

So that's where hell is. I always thought it was in a hand basket. Sometimes it's in my computer screen...or just computers in general. Here's to a weekend away from screens and in front of music.

mp3: Jose Gonzalez - Killing For Love (Beatfanatic Remix)

Friday (I'm A Remix)

The news has angered me this week. Damn you FRONTLINE and your revealing insights! I recently watched their expose on the environmental policies that were pretty much pushed aside by every president since 1988 (what's up with that Clinton/Gore). Many politicians didn't even believe global warming existed (some still don't) while others knew it was there, but felt mandatory CO2 caps would affect the economy, so they decided they would make them optional. Then the new Bush came in promising the mandatory caps, but basically backed out of that as soon as he was elected. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....pop! So here's my question to the new candidates. You say you're for change and happiness and greatness? What will you do? Sorry for the rant... here's some earth friendly remixes.

mp3: Sohodolls - Trash The Rental (Crystal Castles Remix)
mp3: The Rolling Stones - I'm Free (Hot Chip Remix)
mp3: Tapes n Tapes - Cowbell (The Black Eyes Remix)

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)

Friday I'm A Remix

So...it's Friday. How are you all doing? Was the week good? Sunny? Cloudy? Flood-ridden? Was your boss/teacher a prick? Did music inspire you? Bore you? Barrack? Hillary? McCain? Did you see something that amazed you? Did you read something that made you sick to your stomach? Did your computer eat your brain? Did you wake up late? Did you get to sleep? Did you find the one thing you have been looking for all your life? Are you ready for tomorrow? Are you tired of stupid questions? Me too.

It's been a fairly relaxing (yet tiring...hmm...) week. The weekend looks promising - full of music and love. Could I ask for anything more? Yes. Turn signals. Everybody's got them. USE THEM. IT"S RAINING. DON'T COME INTO MY LANE WITHOUT USING YOUR TURN SIGNAL. I don't have ESP so I can't quite determine what your next move will be. Okay okay. Calm down Laurent. It's Friday...and the weekend looks promising...

mp3: Ratatat - Wildcat (E*Vax Remix)
mp3: Menomena - Weird (Dekoder Remix)

Friday (I'm A Remix)

So it's that glorious day again...and? Well for starters it's my birthday weekend, so I'm looking to celebrate a little more than usual today. I feel like making history! How? I dunno. I could always start a new catch phrase or slang...I mean Snoop did it, how hard could it be? Umm....uh...um... uh.... okay... I GOT ONE. Prolific. As in, "Man those shoes are prolific!" or "Damn, those beats are prolific!". Perhaps you could switch it around to a negative by saying, "Dude, your breath is prolific! Here's a tic tac." Well maybe I could have done better. Any suggestions. To get you thinking, here's some prolific remixes.

mp3: Memphis Bleek - Alright (Ratatat Remix)
mp3: Arcade Fire - Black Mirror (Andrew Maury Remix)
mp3: RJD2/Jay-Z - Dirt Off Your Shoulder (EL-P - Lazerface Remix)
mp3: Nas - Hope (Beirut Remix)

Friday (I'm A Remix)

You know what depresses me? Politics. I'm sure they depress many of you too. The thing that gets me is the lies. How do I know who is telling the truth about what they say? Is anybody telling the truth about what they say? The candidates can say anything they want to get the vote, but what are they really thinking. So here's my plan of action. Scrap the debates. Get rid of them. Instead, have you seen that crappy Fox TV show, 'The Moment Of Truth'? The country should adopt that format instead of debates. People from around the country can YouTube in their questions and BOOM! They have to tell the truth because they're monitored by a lie detector. The only problem is, what happens when we find out all of the candidates are lying? Sorry...sometimes I feel like ranting...and raving...but mostly ranting.

Friday (I'm A Remix)

Ah February...the strangest sounding month. The strangest month period...with that whole leap year thing and all. January was good to me most of the time (see this post for the bad times), but all in all 2008 seems to be heading in the right direction. Great music = great shows = great times = great posts = great blog = The Bee's Knees!!!

Friday (I'm A Remix)

We've reached the end of the week.......and I really don't have much to say. Maybe that says it all. I'm guessing this feeling is because of the mass amount of new music I've taken in this week. There's no room left in my tiny brain for thoughts about life and such. Oh well. At least I have music.

mp3: Spoon - Don't You Evah (Diplo Remix)
mp3: The Shins - Sleeping Lessons (RAC Remix)
mp3: Radiohead - Climbing Up The Walls (Fila Brazilia Remix)

Friday (I'm A Remix)

Once again the end is here...of the week that is. The pain behind my left eye is slowly fading. In turn the headache that has been brewing all week has peaked...and maybe...just maybe...will go away. Enough about me though. Let's talk about you the readers/listeners/lovers/haters. How are you? It's friggin' cold where I am, but it looks like it's colder in many other regions. Green Bay? COLD! Massachusetts? COLD! Brazil? Not cold...but you thought I was gonna say cold...didn't ya? Anyway I've got something that will warm the coldest and overheat the hottest. Remixes.

mp3: Radiohead - Everything In Its Right Place (Oakenfold 2008 Remix)
mp3: Mystery Jets - You Can't Fool Me Dennis (Justice Remix)
mp3: Le Rug - Mammal (Pleasure Treasure Crank Dat Remix)

mp3: LCD Soundsystem - Get Innocuous (Soulwax Remix)
mp3: Spoon - Don't You Evah (Diplo Remix)
mp3: Dr. Octagon - Trees (Spankrock Remix)

Ahhh...the short work week. Where Friday doesn't really feel like Friday. Don't get me wrong...it's still Friday. I still have the overwhelming joy that two days approach where everything is calm and relaxing. I will still check the clock every hour to see how much longer until this work day ends. So let's call this the pre-weekend before New Years Day eve celebration! Hooray! Go be merry. Paint a picture. Give a hug. Plant a tree. Eat french fries. Watch TV. Run. Jump. Sing. Dance. Listen.

Friday (I'm A Remix)

Another Friday is upon us and you're probably saying, "So what? Fridays come and go. What's so special about this one, sucka?" First of all, don't call me sucka. Second this is the last Friday before XMAS. Most of us are scrounging to get last minute gifts or laughing away the final hours of work. This Friday post goes out to the people who are busting their butts this weekend working a service or retail job. These kind folks basically get no rest this time of year, and deserve all of our thanks. Thank you! Please don't snap just yet. There's only a few days left. In the meantime, I offer you some toasty remixes.

mp3: Radiohead - Climbing Up Walls (Zero 7 Remix)

Friday I'm A Remix

It's Friday and I'm allowed to rant a little, right? I'm not the biggest environmentalist, but I look out for good old mother nature. I recycle. I own a semi-fuel effecient car. I walk places sometimes instead of driving. So I have the right to get angry when I see the greatest environmental nightmare in the world! You've seen them. The 'advertising on wheels'. What's going on here folks. One day Mr. Advertiser decided regular billboards weren't polluting the world enough, so he came up with brilliant idea of throwing a ginormous sign on the back of a gas guzzling truck. And that's all it is. A sign. It's not hauling or transporting things like any respectable truck. It's just there taking up space, polluting, and distracting drivers. A DANGER TO SOCIETY! So what can you, the public, do? Boo that sign/truck! Boooooooooo! Whew...it feels good to finally get that off my chest. Now some celebratory remixes.

mp3: Black Lips - Veni Vedi Veci ( Diplo Remix)
mp3: MF Grimm and MF Doom - Somersault (Dangermouse Remix)

Hey! It's Friday! I went to a great show last night. The entire line up was good, and that's rare. If you get a chance be sure to check out Red Headed Temper, The Izzy's, The Blackjacks, and Among Wolves. But that was yesterday. Today is Friday. The day of Fri. I don't know who that person is or was, but I make this tribute to you Fri. The remix!
