\nIn honor of me starting jury duty (or, rather, potentially being selected to be on a jury), I’m revisiting something I did the first year I did these music charts: taking one song from each month and replacing the version I choose for the chart with a different version or remix. Believe it or not, my fans, sometimes I don’t get things exactly right the first time. (Though apparently I didn’t post them the first time around… maybe I will someday…). Here’s what I came up with for 2013:<\/p>\n
Boys Noize – Tame Impala – Kasper Bj\u00f8rke – Ali Love – Rex the Dog – Toys – Telonius – Quentin Quatro – Clubfeet – Telonius – Blamma! Blamma! – The Deadstock 33’s – [soundcloud url=”https:\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/playlists\/20004606″ params=”color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” \/]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In honor of me starting jury duty (or, rather, potentially being selected to be on a jury), I’m revisiting something I did the first year I did these music charts: taking one song from each month and replacing the version I choose for the chart with a different version or remix.

\nI do love me some Jacques lu Cont, but this remix is pretty harsh. I like the softer, more shiny approach that D.I.M. takes. To be honest, I had to check a few times to make sure I didn’t have the remixes transposted. The Jacques lu Cont (who is famous for Madonna’s Confessions on the Dancefloor<\/i>) remix sounds much more like a D.I.M. remix, and vice-versa. Oh well!<\/p>\nFebruary<\/h3>\n
Be Above It (Light Year’s ‘Get Above It’ 909 Edit)<\/s>
\nI like this version so much I even included it on my November 2013<\/a> chart!<\/p>\nMarch<\/h3>\n
Deep Is the Breath (Hannulelauri Male mix)<\/s>
\nA rare case where I like the original better! I think the Hannulelauri remix waters it down a bit.<\/p>\nApril<\/h3>\n
Emperor (feat. Kali)<\/s>
\nThis is exactly why I love making this list. When I first heard the song the remixes hadn’t come out. I expected to find a remix that opened up the song a bit more, and here we are!<\/p>\nMay<\/h3>\n
Do You Feel What I Feel (Rex the Dog Pratersauna remix)<\/s>
\nOriginal I gravitated to the Rex the Dog remix because I’ve always loved the remixes he’s done. That said, and although I included it on my chart, I didn’t really really love the song the way I expected to. This Jacques Renault remix keeps the song from being a little too Rex the Dog-ish and rounds it out.<\/p>\nJune<\/h3>\n
Noise<\/s>
\nThis was the most difficult. I actually love every version of every song I picked for my June chart! So here’s an interesting remix of the Toys song Noise.<\/p>\nJuly><\/h3>\n
Hit Me<\/s>
\nAnother case of “I didn’t know all of the remixes out there.” This Cassian remix is much more interesting.<\/p>\nAugust<\/h3>\n
Disco Quatro (Psychemagik remix)<\/s>
\nTo be honest, I’d get a little annoyed everytime the Pyschemagik remix came on… it’s just a little too slow and relaxed. I like this Space Coast version that amps it up a bit.<\/p>\nSeptember<\/h3>\n
Edge of Extremes (French Horn Rebellion remix)<\/s>
\nI almost went with the Munk mix of this song when I initially did the chart in September but decided to opt for the most strange\/interesting French Horn Rebellion remix. Now I get a change to include the more housed-out Munk version.<\/p>\nOctober<\/h3>\n
I Make You Man<\/s>
\nOhhh Telonius!! You’ve done it again! Just like July, here’s another instance of just not knowing all of the mixes. This time, though, like back in February, I included the new remix in my December 2013 chart<\/a>.<\/p>\nNovember<\/h3>\n
Zsa Zsa (feat. Kristina Train)<\/s>
\nThis one is difficult for a couple reasons: First, I pretty much love this remix equally with the original (but the remix adds some interesting stuff to it) And second: I haven’t had as much time to second-guess all of the choices on this chart (see also: below). So enjoy both equally.<\/p>\nDecember<\/h3>\n
The Circular Path (Luke Solomon remix)<\/s>
\nLike November, it was difficult to really come up with a different version of a chart that I’ve only had a few weeks listening to regularly. So like September, I’m going with another remix that I almost went with. This Asphodells remix feels warmer than the Luke Solomon take.<\/p>\n
