I’ve fallen in love. I won’t lie to you. Opened my inbox the other day. There sits Javelin promo. It’s been 3 days now. I’ve had it basically on repeat for that entire time. If you don’t believe me, check my effing Last.fm page!!!
Someone (I think I know who) took this photo of a one-toothed maniac girl I know. I really like it.
OK here’s the story. I’d been listening to Bibio a LOT a couple of weeks ago and noticed a couple of tracks on his new album would sound great mashed up à la The Hood Internet stylee. I was so sure it’d sound good I dared to send them an email (on July 11th) with this request.
“Hi guys,
This is just a suggestion more than anything else. Bibio’s songs ‘Jealous Of Roses’ and ‘Fire Ant’ (and only in my dreams ‘Lovers’ Carvings’) are crying out for a good mash-up!
Just a thought!
Cheers“
I got this back (July 13th).
“no lie i was working on a fire ant remix just yesterday. look for it soon“
And guess what happened earlier today (July 26th)…
These were all in my inbox like little presents. Really like this Adam & Darcie track. Very hushed, kinda Belle & Sebastian/Shins type song. That’s probably a really bad description, but you get the idea. They’re signed to Indiecator records and they keep sending me lovely promos. Thank you very much.
Quite like this Crosstown Rivals remix as well. Reminds me, for some reason, of the Postal Service. Apparently they’re currently on tour in Canada. Nowhere near me like, but if you’re in the area you should check them out.
I’m waking up to a lot of goodies in my inbox recently! Love it! Especially when they’re as good as this Fred Falke remix of Miami Horror‘s ‘Make You Mine’.
Woke up to find this Housse De Racket remix in my inbox. They’ll be supporting Does It Offend You, Yeah? on their UK tour in October and are playing Glasgow on the 24th. Might try and rock up.
The internet is a fast moving beast, so the streaming MP3s that are posted may not work after a while due to them being taken down. And since I can't be arsed uploading them all again it's tough shite. I'll always post a link to a downloadable MP3 though. As always, if you like what you hear - away and buy it eh!
p.s. if I've put up a song you'd rather not see here then let me know, you can email me here
