AmpLive Is Alive and Well!!

Okay so many of you have probably heard some of AmpLive's Radiohead remixes a few months ago. You may not know he was trying to release an album of these remixes. Well long story short, he forgot to clear it with Radiohead and the label, there was some cease and desists issued, and we all thought it was dead in the water. Nope. Rainydayz Remixes is out now and it's completely free for download. I was pretty fond of the earlier remixes of Weird Fishes and Nude, but when I looked at the tracklisting for this 8 song album and saw Video Tapez and Del The Funky Homosapien paired together, I just about lost my mind. With good cause too. That track is the BEE'S KNEES!!!! Find out for yourself.

A Remix & The Run Down - Saturday February 9, 2008

Finally it has happened. When I first popped in MGMT's super great fantastic album Oracular Spectacular, I had two thoughts. The first was, "Dang this is the bee's knees!" The second was, "There's gonna be some killer remixes of this." Sadly I waited and waited, checked the hype machine, checked my email, checked my mailbox, but nothing....until last night. I received an email last night containing the first remix of MGMT's Kids blended with DFA 1979. It's great. Check it.

As far as shows are concerned, there's many great ones tonight. At Johnny Brenda's in Philly, White Williams smokes out another venue with Ecstatic Sunshine and Rings. In Baltimore you have the choice of going to the Lo-Fi to check out The City Veins and Lights Resolve or heading down to the Metro Gallery for The Squaaks, Baby Aspirin, and Goldbug. Enjoy.

Day Fri (Mixed up mix)

It's been a long week to say the least. Yesterday while driving home the little 'Check Engine' light came on. GRRRRR... I guess that about says it all. Luckily today is Friday and it's basically the weekend(sorry again to you weekend workers). Time to kick back and listen to some great music, paint, socialize, do jumping jacks, enter a hot dog eating contest, learn how to fly, and do my laundry. Time to mix it up a bit.

mp3: Rick Ross vs Simian Mobile Disco - Hustlin' Hustler (Cadence Weapon Hi-Speed Edit)
mp3: The American Analog Set - The Postman (Styrofoams Just Like The Nineties Never Happened Mix)
mp3: Persephone's Bees - Nice Day (Broken Spindles Remix)

FRIDAY(PASTA MIX)

Today's the final work day of the week(for some...sorry weekend warriors). Time to crank up these remixes, turn to your boss, and give him the 'ol jolly roger. Booyah! Disclaimer: I am in no way responsible for you getting fired, but cheers to you!

FRIDAY (I'm A Remix)

It's the last day of the work week(for some). A time to ponder, digest, and reuse what was learned over the last five days. Or maybe we just want to forget the whole darn thang. Doctor's orders: Take two of these:

The Knife - We Share Our Mothers Health(Ratatat Remix).mp3

Architecture In Helsinki - Do The Whirlwind(Haima's Remix).mp3
