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.

All the tracks in one zip file : here {zshare = left click}

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.

Wakey!Wakey!

We all have our own personal version of every song. Whether it’s because you don’t really know the lyrics or the fact that you love to belt out alternate harmonies in your car, there is something inside of each of us that makes each song we hear unique to us. Maybe you play drums on your steering wheel, identify with certain idiosyncrasies or turns of a phrase, or maybe you just close your eyes and let the music overwhelm your senses. Whether or not you admit it, we all somehow make music our own.

Luckily for the entire world Mike Grubbs isn’t afraid to take a song, make it his own slice of heaven, and release it to the masses for free. For the past few months Grubbs, aka Wakey!Wakey!, has been putting out an incredible array of cover songs under the album name Wakey!Wakey! Wednesdays. Ranging from The Decemberists to Alicia Keys, from Cyndi Lauper to the Beach Boys, no stone has been left unturned in this exploration of just what a cover song can really be. And what he has come home with is ten songs that the test of time will prove stand proudly next to their original recordings, and in some cases eclipse them altogether. Now that the compilation is complete, with his brilliant rendition of Everlong by the Foo Fighters, I can safely say that this is the best cover album I have ever heard.

The tracks here are posted in the order that they appeared over at Wakey!Wakey!’s myspace page. My hat is off to you Mike Grubbs, you have made a wonderful work of art for all of us to hear.

Gossip Girl vol 06

Let me take a minute and introduce you to a new addition to The World Forgot. His name is Josh and he will be contributing occasionally by posting odds and ends. If you look below this post you’ll see his review of the OK Go concert which he attended this past weekend. I thoroughly encourage you to check it out. He’s a good kid and he’s pretty much awesome. Now, on with the show.

This week we were put back into the melodrama that is the Upper East Side’s prep school for life. Well as long as your life consists of trust funds, Ivy League schools, and love triangles. Fortunately the music included in this episode was the best of the series. Well maybe the second best seeing as how the premier used over twenty two tracks. Enjoy the tunes, especially these songs by Beck, Mika, and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

mp3 : Beck - Timebomb
mp3 : Mika - Happy Ending
mp3 : The Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Kiss Kiss
mp3 : Nekta - Guess Who

Other music in the sixth episode included tracks by 5 Alarm, Sofi J, Becca Styles, and Miss Eighty 6. And again I reiterate that the tracks up above by Beck, Mika, and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are all solid.
