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 minor 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. Ω

But I’m only human, and sometimes I miss things…. so if you see something that is still broken or missing, please email us right away, so we can fix it.

Thanks For Helping Us Get Back On Track!

At 1:59am CST, we suffered a catastrophic data loss. Don’t know why yet.
Please bear with us while we try and fix it.

Update 1: 2:45am
Site barely running. Not using the regular theme. Every mp3 is gone, and so are all the images…. Dang it.

Update 2: 3:22am
After a lot of hard work, most of the site is operational, but all mp3′s & images are still gone.

Update 3: 4:00am
Heading to bed, tomorrow’s  Remix Wednesday post will work. Most July images back online, some July mp3′s back online, (only 4). Hope to be back at 100% by thursday.

Update 5: 4:20am
Now I’m going to bed, almost all July MP3′s and images online. Will finish tomorrow.

Update 6: 11:00am
Comments back online. Starting to restore june’s posts.

Last Update: 10:40pm
Most of the site is working normally, most of what we lost was about stuff that wasn’t actually online. Like the 2.0 version of the site is gone. So we’re doing a rebuild….

Be back at full capacity by the end of the week!
