3 Song Thursday: Where is IHYEB? & Remix Wednesday turns ONE YEAR OLD!
It’s been a solid NINE days since any of our unpaid staff writers added a single word to this beautiful hunk of internet. Our thoughts?
We’re Sorry!
I’m sure you were very scared for us, thinking that maybe the man finally took us down, or that maybe one of the staff died, but I assure you that things are very much okay with at least 75% of the staff (I haven’t really been in contact with Brady lately… sure hope he’s doing okay). So what gives then? Well, IHYEB is a fun project rather than a pay project for 1000% of all the staff here (infact we’ve only lost money on this site because hosting costs some serious green).
But I wanted to make a formal apology, as most of us are adapting to our new summer schedules.
In other very-related news….
My pride and joy, the Remix Wednesday column is now officially ONE YEAR OLD! To celebrate this momentous minorĀ achievement, I’m going to start calling it the Remix of the Week, but will still be shortening it RW.
And just because it wouldn’t be IHYEB if I didn’t have some music in this, and it’s techiniquely still thursday, I give you:
My Three Favorite Remix Wednesday Remixes
1. Santigold – I’m a Lady (Diplo mix ft. Amanda Blank)
I could elaborate for ages on how much this song just always gets me. I always feel weird declaring this song (the original included) to be my favorite Santigold song, because…. I’m not a lady.
2. David Bowie – Rebel Rebel (Soulwax Re-Edit)
“I am a dj, I am what I play.” What a brilliant tag to put at the beginning of a remix. Soulwax proves their worth in gold with this solid track. BTW, that tag is snatched from a ‘79 Bowie album…. and it’s in much better company inside that song than in D.J.’s music video.
3. The Presets – This Boy’s in Love (Lifelike Remix)
Perfection audialized? I love this remix so much, and it’s play count in my iTunes library proves it. Just listen to it and see if you don’t fall in love, much like the protagonist in the song.

OKAY! I think we’re square now. I’ll be back next week for another remix, and I hope I’ve given you enough homework to make your ears bleed. Ī©

I’m sneaking this download at a job network place (in Oz) so I can’t listen to the Soulwax re-work right now but Ialready know it’s gonna be in my next DJ set…Ilost control of all cognitive functions and alll neurons went into overload when 2ManyDJs/Soulwax played “Chase the devil” AND then transitioned into “Out of Space”…
I was running around like a madman when Lee Scratch came on cuz Ilove the original-but all the other ravers/dancers just stood there going “duhhhhhh WTFis this?” THEN when the transition came all the others started dancing too and I lost it completely cuz my cousin who isn’t a DJ had said he’d do that exact trasition if he did ever DJ at my club…
