not covering my ass here {while yet still covering it}, but i’ve said it before on the BOTM and BOTR series. i just get the tracks and put them up. on my real posts {every other post, usually} i actually research {or pretend to}. these tracks are as is and i thank you all for the corrections. it’s concerned readers that keep bloggers honest.

and actually the fleetwood mac song was emailed to me by a reader. thought i would “like the mix of old school meets new” - nice work over at superheroes though. i recommend to anyone still reading these comments.

Sean’s comment was spot on. The description of the “Never forget / So electric” pairing as a ‘remix’ illustrates a huge problem with blogs. People are so quick to post songs that they grab from other blogs (the fleetwood mac / lifelike tune coming from Superheroes– http://superheroes08.blogspot.com/ — I reckon, without knowing what the hell the song actually is. That entire So Cosmic mixtape is brilliant, by the way.

Thanks for the Feist!
One thing, though: MSTRKRFT did not remix Fergie and they probably never will. What’s been floating around is a mash-up of Paris~MSTRKRFT and Fergalicious~Fergie

That Fleetwood Mac thing is not a remix but a bit cut from Cut Copy’s So Cosmic mixtape, just Fleetwood Mac being mixed into Lifelike’s So Electric. No remix necessary. You wish Cut Copy was always this inspired? Are you crazy? You can’t ask questions like that when you’re posting Madonna’s tired ass new tracks.

I thought BOTR was a middle of the month compilation… when did you start doing that right after BOTM… that’s just one too many “Best Of” lists right in a row.

ooooooooh thanks so much for the tracks! oh my gosh, this music is saving me from having to shoot up today… goodbye track marks, hello hearing aid at age 40.

I’m still waiting for one of your little remix addicts to post something like that so that you’ll finally have confirmation that your blog is saving lives (which I believe it is)…

oh crap… it’s so sweet in my aural cavity… where did you find that Monster Hospital remix. it’s like liquid gold honey being poured into my ears.

I have long thought that the remix of Monster Hospital was even better than the original, and I worship the ground Metric/Emily Haines walks on. MSTRKRFT’s remix is just that good!

Funny you posted the Fleetwood Cutters Remix today. Just last night i was listening to the So Cosmic mix they put out a while ago and thought to myself… this fleetwood remix is so fucking epic.
