Phoenix = Genius… enough said

After being asked by Grizzly Bear to remix them, Phoenix came up with this brilliant and alternative way to remix. Check it out here. The brilliance, you ask? Oh, I don’t know, that the user gets to actually do the remix! They’ve just given you two songs that make perfect sense and you can’t mess up. Love it!

“A long time ago Grizzly Bear asked us to remix one of their tracks, but we never found the boldness to mess with their beautiful songs. So the other day we figured, maybe if we combine great things together (Grizzly Bear, Eno, chance), it would create something good.”

Thanks Phoenix for allowing me to be a part of the process.

TGIF- Your Friday Dance Song Pt. 2

Yes, you are very lucky to get not 1, but 2 Friday Dance songs this week……I know, most of the time you don’t get any. Let’s just say I’m feeling charitable today and wanted to share with you one more song or more specifically a video mash-up combining my two loves of Phoenix’s “Lisztomania” and John Hughes’ film Brat Pack movie clips. Thanks Sarah Neuehaus for creating and thanks Bunch for turning me onto.

Can anyone say F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C???

Awesome indie dance-ish music! Happy they’re finally getting their due after all of these years.
