It’s early and it hasn’t been officially released yet, but this is already at the top of my list:

RW gets technical: Crimewave

Posted: March 18th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: Articles About Music, Remix of the Week | Tags: , | 1 Comment »

I’m hard pressed for ideas this week, mainly because of personal stress. I wasn’t sure I’d even crank one out this week, mainly out of fear I’d make something lackluster.

In the title of this weeks post I said I’d get technical.

Well the song this week is an album track by electronista’s Crystal Castles, but by definition… the song is pretty much a remix of  a song of the same name by Health. The lyrics are the same. So… yeah. Here’s the original.

It’s kind of a different song. But now let’s listen to the remix.

Crystal Castles vs. Health – Crimewave

Certainly a big change.

One more video before I go, it was a promo used to promote their album. It uses one of my favorite songs off the album, called Magic Spells.

I hope your ears sneeze. or bleed. or whatever. ≈

Winter Gloves, “Let Me Drive” and Angus and Julia Stone, “Mango Tree”

I have been flooded with new music videos as of late, most of which have been fantastic.  Its been bothering me that I normally only dedicate one day to music videos, and if I continue at only one a week I am really selling a lot of people short.

This first video is from Winter Gloves, a band based out of Quebec/Montreal.  What is most stunning about this video is the fact that nothing you see is done in post-production.  So yeah, they took that many pictures and pieced them all together.

Winter Gloves’ full length album, about a girl, comes out March 24th (Paper Bag Records).

This next video is from the Sydney based folk-duo Angus and Julia Stone:

Fans of lo-fi folk featuring hushed vocals and lush intrumentation will have a hard time resisting their album “A Book Like This”.
