Odd assortment this week. The iTunes shuffle got fixated on remixes.
1. Nikkiya - "When I Was High"
2. Icky Blossoms - "Babes"
3. Avey Tare - "Ghost Of Books"
4. Benjamin Francis Leftwich - "Pictures (GZUS Remix)"
5. The Dead Weather - "Treat Me Like Your Mother (Diplo Remix)"
6. Gotye ft. Kimbra - "Somebody That I Used To Know (Bombs Away Remix)"
7. Rosco Bandana - "Woe Is Me"
8. Young Buffalo - "Nature Boy"
9. Metronomy - "Everything Goes My Way"
Nikkiya is just the bomb.
I can't decide whether this is great or annoys the shit out of me or both.
Avey Tare is part of Animal Collective. This song is weird as hell, but it pulls you in after a few listens. Also: sad. Also: I enjoy that way it takes a good minute to figure out what time signature the song is written in. (6/8, by the way.)
Benjamin Francis Leftwich writes the most beautiful songs. This remix doesn't fuck with his "boy and a guitar" thing. It just adds a few little elements, and adds to the pretty.
Jack White, etc. One of those remixes that really deconstructs a song and makes it new.
The ubiquitous song. Still a a great, uplifting, kiss my ass message that I relate to, quite a lot, and this is a GREAT remix.
Country-fied septet from Mississippi. Somehow it is on my iTunes. I like, I like, I like.
Young Buffalo is also from Mississippi. This song is catchy as hell. I don't know how I feel about them using the title "Nature Boy," as this is not a cover of the famous song by that name. That's kind of a specific title, I think.
Stupid indie love song. It's cute, and also kind of annoying, but in a cute way.
