Grimes – Crystal Ball

Some remixes from Montreal.

Winnie has like absolutely no Quebec following at all, must have something to do with all the terrible slang / racism or my barely passing grades in French class, “Je suis un garçon chatte”.

The majority of our readers are from B.C., California and New York (3 of my 4 fave places, excluding Montreal/ Quebec).  I think we get the same amounts of readers from a place called Pasay in the Philippines.  That’s all right, as long as they continue making sweet jams we have no probs spreading the good word and they have their own great sites like this one that i’ve been crushing on http://goldkicks.blogspot.com/ and course, http://www.saidthegramophone.com/

Winnie’s Hunk le Drunk is coming out to Montreal with one of our fave Vancouver bands, Humans, with Karn also djing Friday November 12th. Hopefully at Play House (TBC)…  Maybe we can make some mixed race super babies or something?

Silly Kissers – U could even like me (Mental Beej Mix) remixed by http://www.myspace.com/cottonmouthmontreal

Grimes- Darkheart (karnversion)

Soooooo I’m just gonna bum around in MTL and NY this week. That means that my posts are gonna be slow and sporadic.

Hopefully some of our other contributors can pick up the slack (hint hint hint hint).

Strokes – New York City Cops

Of Montreal – The Partys Crashing Us (I Am The World Trade Center Mix)

Happy New Year…?

My New Year resolutions for 2k9:

No more fist pounds. If someone comes towards you trying to intiate one, the new thing to do is, “the downward wrist chop”, followed by a firm and audible “no”.

Try to quit smoking. Why not quit smoking rather than trying to? because smoking is so great. Everyone who smokes and tried to quit knows this, sometimes it takes quiting to realize. The most interesting people at any party are always found in the smoking area.

Be really mean. 2k9 is the year of being really mean. The hippie ideal of loving one another has not worked out. This year i’m going to try to be the biggest asshole / jerk / shit head I can. So far it feels great.

Lastly, because I can’t think of any other things that I could improve on, don’t hoard all the good songs. I have this imaginary mix tape that im always making and I save all the good songs for it. Fuck it. Heres to 2k9, isn’t it amazing? How many days till summer? Thankgod for music.

From our BFF’s site Ohh! Crapp.

Who won the Passion Pit remix competition on this song anyways? Who won the Reckenor one also? so many questions…

Passion Pit – Sleepyhead (LOL Boys Remix)

Maroon 5 have a remix album out with some top notch producers on board. They have done a great job of actually making M5 listen-able.

Maroon 5 – This Love (Cut Copy Galatic Beach House Mix)

I love this. Songs like this cheer me up.
