Boss Stuff on the Interwebs: Wednesday Links 19/01/11


  • From their hometown of Lucerne, Guerolitomusic brings you post-punk/new-wave/mad-80's band Dans La Tente. Check it out, because who can hate the Swiss? Really. Unless you've been stabbed by a well-crafted pocketknife, I guess. Then you get a pass.
  • Thanks to insomnia, Damien Is Listening To found this 17-minute Radiohead (re)mixtape, cementing my belief that without insomnia the blogosphere would not exist. Also, not without desperate cravings for attention.  
  • Breaking More Waves investigates whether 2011 is the beginning of the end for dubstep, then gives some Skream and Example downloads that'll make you hope not. 
  • Little Reviews does a... little review of The Love Language's lo-fi, indie pop album Libraries. Sachez que le site est français, mais la plupart de la musique est en anglais. Good stuff all around.
  • The Morning After Pill has the video for Not in Love.  It features neither Crystal Castles nor Robert Smith, but if you have a thing for pictures of pretty girls as seen through a coma haze, this is your lucky day.
  • You know those thirty-five inexplicable cable shows about cake? Well I guess an appearance by Pavement might make one of them suck less. If not, then at last you can watch one of the eleventy-nine shows about bridal dresses. (Stereogum)
  • Speaking of tv, Ultra8210 has The Black Keys vs. Vampire Weekend competing in a "sell-out-off" on The Colbert Report. I'd tell you why, but frankly, if you haven't clicked by now, there's no helping you.

Song of the Day: The Xx's Infinity (Flufftronix Dubstep Remix)



Ever have those dreams where you're talking to your best friend who for some reason looks nothing like your best friend, but you just know he is, despite the fact that he is older/fatter/part kangaroo/has pineapples for hands? And since dreams can be that way, you begrudgingly accept him even though something just isn't right. And now it's just you and old pineapple hands against the world...
 
You know the dreams. And you always wake feeling a little unsettled. That rattle is the same feeling remixes give me. It's a song you know...but it's not really. You can hum along...but you can't really. And I don't think it's crazy to not appreciate when something I love is dismembered with parts scattered all over. Bit sick if you like it, really.

Of course there are exceptions to everything, and here's an exception to my no-remix rule: this flufftronix remix of Infinity.

If the original is a song to have sex by, this is a song to have angry sex by.  

Yes.
 



And here's the original, just for the sake of comparison, and because it brings the search engine hits.
