Enough time has passed through these pages that I again bring you the ever popular Best of the Remix series. This is volume 03. If you’d like to see the entire series displayed on one page just click here. I hope you enjoy the remixes, I’ll be out of town seeing a friend play a concert and catching up with old university mates of mine for the weekend. Anyway, I thought you all could enjoy some awesome remixes over the weekend and maybe throw a little dance party while you’re at it {although would this type of music really work at a house/flat party?}. I guess the only way to know is to throw a party, invite all the gorgeous ladies, and play some remixes nice and loud. Enjoy the music.

mp3 : Jens Lekman - I’m Leaving You Because I Don’t Love You (Spoolwork Remix)
mp3 : Klaxons - Gravity’s Rainbow (Guns ‘N Bombs Freakout Remix)
mp3 : Kylie Minogue - 2 Hearts (DirtyHands ‘Freemassons RTA’ Radio Edit)
mp3 : Maroon 5 - This Love (Kanye West Remix)
mp3 : Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (Mathematikal Rerub)
mp3 : Milli Vanilli - Girl U Know It’s True (Tittsworth Remix)
mp3 : Moby - Porcelain - (ATOM’s Blue Underglaze Remix)
mp3 : Nirvana - Lounge Act (Z-Trip Remix)
mp3 : One Republic vs Bronski - Apology (Team9 Smalltown Remix)
mp3 : Rihanna - Umbrella (Seamus Haji & Paul Emanual Club Remix)
mp3 : Robyn - Be Mine (Ocelot Mthrfckrs Remix)
mp3 : Timbaland - Miscommunication (The Bloody Beetroots Remix)
mp3 : Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Gold Lion (Diplo’s Optimo Remix)
The tracks by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Michael Jackson, Moby, and One Republic vs Bronski are all quality. To be honest I didn’t think Timbaland’s remix of the One Republic song could be improved upon, but Team9 has proven otherwise. If you haven’t heard this remix that’s the first one you should download. The track by Robyn is also really fun to listen to, it just builds and builds and I could imagine it being a great song to hear at a rave or new moon party.

I’m not the biggest of fans of Jens Lekman. Granted I feel he’s done some great work and there are a few standout tracks on his albums, but for the most part his music sounds far to retro and far to psychedelic for my taste. Just listen to this track here from his album Night Falls Over Kortedala (iTunes) and tell me that it doesn’t sound like the opening theme for a Nick at Nite rerun marathon. Now that we all understand how I’m not a super fan of Jens {although he does have a great name} I would like to add that I really like his cover of Paul Simon’s You Can Call Me Al. It’s an era of music that coincides nicely with the present day sound of Jens Lekman. Almost like it was meant to be.
mp3 : Jens Lekman - Sipping On The Sweet Nectar
mp3 : Jens Lekman - You Can Call Me Al (Live Paul Simon Cover)
I love the line “he sees angels in the architecture.” Always have, always will.

Another month has come and gone, almost, and it is once again time for a little Best of the Month roundup. As I’ve said, and explained, before I have a lot more free time than you do. I don’t do much with my life other than listen to music and mess around with friends so, consequently, I have a lot of time to scour the interwebs to find the best music you probably missed on the first go round. These tracks were found using a variety of sources including Hype, Elbows, random blogs, and other music sites. Enjoy the tracks, I hope you all had a magnificent Christmas.

Definitely check out the tracks by Lightspeed Champion, the newcomers The Clark Brothers, Mylo, and the new song from the upcoming Magnetic Fields album. The rest of the tracks are pretty awesome as well, especially the very rare Sufjan songs that were graciously given to my by many a concerned reader during my Seven Days of Sufjan Stevens. {if you look closely you’ll notice none of these songs are a remixed track. stay tuned for my inaugural post in the new BOTR series later this week}. Also, does anyone else think that Lupe Fiasco is very similar to Moby mixed with Will Smith? Whatever your opinion this track by Lupe Fiasco is phenomenal. Also, if Macon Greyson isn’t winning the award for ‘band who sounds the most like Lynryd Skynryd’ I don’t know who is.
