It’s A Blitz!…Of Songs I’ve Been Hoarding

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

This is the last post I’ll be doing now for a couple of weeks while I get my final MSc project handed in. I’ve been really busy as of late so I’ve accrued quite the collection of decent tunes. So without further ado…

A mate sent me the link to this song last week. REALLY great remix. Blitz!Blitz!Blitz!Blitz!Blitz!Blitz!Blitz!Blitz!

Think I saw this over at Nashville Nights. Very good stuff also.

Did I get this from Pigeons & Planes? I can’t remember. Either way, this is the kind of hip-hop that gets my head bopping.

Another great Punks Jump Up remix I found somewhere. If I could remix – I’d wish it to come out sounding like this.

If you haven’t seen Miles Fisher by now then WTFF (thats fucking fuck) have you been?! He not only pulled off a fucker of a Tom Cruise impression, but then went and topped it with this hilarious Christian Bale/Talking Heads tribute. Can you tell I love a good impressionist? Aaanyway, the good looking fucker that he is also sings and writes music. The song I’ve posted is actually great and I got a shock. Reminds me of Brendan Benson‘s solo work actually – which is a very very good thing. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves – apparently he’s gonna be appearing in the new season of Mad Men. Let’s see if he tops Don Draper in the cool stakes.

Don’t like Noah & The Whale. At all. But I like this Twelves remix. They’ve cut the funk up and sprinkled their disco-jizz all over this bitch!

Another Simian Mobile Disco track has hit the WWW and the verdict is good. Just the right amount of Ditto. Too much and what have you got? Dot Cotton rottenness.

This is the oldest (and last, you’ll be glad to hear) track on this post. Teenage Bad Girl were introduced to me through the medium of a facebook status. It went something like “rediscovered the Teenage Bad Girl album. BEEF JUNKY“, whatever that means! Anyway, cheers Mikey!
