Double Reading

February 22 is my birthday and the reason I chose to post on the 22nd of every month so that it would coincide with my birthday. I’d like to say that there is something special about this chart since it was posted on my birthday, but alas, it’s just another chart of great music — [...]

As promised, a chart on time:

Fan Death – Veronica’s Veil (Erol Alkan extended rework) [YouTube music]
Maxïmo Park – Let’s Get Clinical (Clark remix) [YouTube music]
Classixx – I’ll Get You (Cassian’s I’ll Get Yeww! Remix) [YouTube music]
Ocelot – Our Time [YouTube music]
Depeche Mode – Hole To Feed (Popof Vocal Mix) [YouTube music]
Ali Love – Love Harder [...]

I know I’m about 2 weeks late on this (I promise January 2010’s chart will be posted on January 22 as it should be), but I got all caught-up/stressed out in the end-of-the-year/end-of-the-decade stuff and have been ruminating on too much lately. This is the first of three music-related posts. Coming soon: Music 2009 and [...]

More than ten again but there has just been so much good music out there lately! This time I added links to YouTube if the song was on there (usually not an official video but just the music).

Beyoncé – Sweet Dreams (Harlan Pepper & AG III Remix) [YouTube music]
Kid Cuid – Pursuit of Happiness (Benny [...]

Madonna – What It Feels Like For A Girl (Tracy Young club mix)
Miss Kittin & The Hacker – Suspicious Minds (Elvis Presley cover)

I ended up having twelve songs this month. Worth noting, I think, that not all of these songs are remixes — some of them are album tracks!

Metronomy – Not Made For Love (Joakim remix)
Shinichi Osawa – EEAA
Mumdance & Brodinski – Eurostarr
Bag Raiders – Shooting Stars (Siriusmo remix)
Boys Noize – Jeffer (Para One remix)
Lovelock – Don’t [...]

Here is my latest mix. Originally I planned to use this mix to practice using a capellas ontop of different songs (I have a capellas for both “Music Sounds Better With You” by Stardust and “The Sound of Violence” by Cassius). Once the mix was done, though, the random a acapellas just didn’t seem to [...]

I’m going to try to start a new thing where every 22nd of the month (my birthday is on the 22nd of February so it seems like a good day), I’m going to post a chart of 10 songs that I’ve really been into for the month. Sometimes this means they are new songs that [...]

The other week in my post about Michael Jackson I made a terrible mistake! When I listed my three favorite Michael Jackson songs (“Thriller,” “Off The Wall,” and “Wanna Be Startin’ Something”) I left off my true favorite Michael Jackson song: “Beat It.”
I’m not sure why I omitted it. I think I was caught up [...]

I’ve recently been dealing with a fairly difficult (for me, at least) breakup. As part of the cathartic process I’ve been working on what I’ve referred to as my “bitter breakup mix.” It’s finally finished and I must say that both the experience of making it and the final product have made me feel a [...]
