Another B.L.T.N.R.W. (Better late than never Remix of the Week). Gosh I’m so bad about getting disciplined about this. So here it is, you’re saturday night jam.
I’m not gonna lie, this one didn’t do anything for me personally the first few times I heard it, but after listening a few more times I really liked it. The synth is spectacular, and creates a gigantic audible landscape for the sound to reverberate off of.
The song’s original structure feels very repetitive, and it becomes very clear that this is remix was intended as a club mix, and frankly I just want to get up and dance.
I’m gonna be honest, if you’re not a Katy Perry fan this isn’t going to change your mind. But if you enjoy the poppy songstress, this might be the track for you!
Now excuse me while I return to my weekend, I hope your ears have a good weekend. Ω
(P.S. I will be returning to regularly scheduled remixes next week)
Stereogum is doing some awesome things that I wanted to point your attention to. The first one that I want you to take notice of and show your appreciation for is their MySplice project. They just recently released the third installment to download for free. With the help of team9 they have taken some of the best/most popular songs of the year and mashed them together. I’m usually not a fan of mash ups but this project is pretty darn entertaining. Here is a couple of my favorites, if you like them head on over to Stereogum to hear the whole project.
I also want to draw your attention to a new series of stripped down studio sessions called Decomposed. They invite both well-known and up-and-coming artists to drop by and record stripped down, acoustic versions of a couple of their songs. They have only featured two artists so far, but I am already a big fan. Check out this awesome performance by The Uglysuit. You’ll gain an even greater appreciation for these guys after hearing this fantastic perfromance of “Chicago.”
