Two remixes...

Today is one of those dreaded days at work, where I have way too much work to do, so unfortunately I only have time for this short one...

Judging from the number of downloads; I believe that Club Thing by Yoav must be one of the most popular songs I've ever posted. Personally I still think it's an excellent track, so I was quite delighted to find this very cool RAC remix of the song in the mailbox this morning.

Another RAC remix received in the mail recently is this charming version of You're Alright by Norwegian twee/folk-pop duo Jeremy. I've previously posted the brilliant Make Love Not War by the band and an album should be in the making.

Monday it is...

I'm not going to post any comments on that football/soccer game played Saturday evening. Memorable in many, many ways and still you wish it had never taken place.

But the weather was fine yesterday and today there's no sunshine. So life can be fair after all!

And life didn't exactly get any worse when I found the new single The Sound Of You by French/British quartet Mono Taxi in the mailbox this morning. On the single the band mashes up a great pop tune with the psychedelic sound of the 60's and some cool (still noisy) shoegaze inspired guitars, which results in a stunning track that definitely is among the very best I've heard so far this year. Or as someone has described it; "imagine The Velvet Underground meeting The Jesus And Mary Chain". To be released on Ciao Ketchup Recordings on August 20.

Norwegian duo Jeremy is another act finding lots and lots of inspiration in the 60's. When you listen to this track, you once again is tempted to draw some parallels to The Velvet Underground and perhaps even The Beatles (when George wrote the songs); especially around the 2:30 mark. But the song is also straight-forward and immediately catchy in a way you should be familiar with from the times you've been listening to The Turtles and The Zombies. And by calling the new single Make Love Not War the band must have known that the 60's comparisons were unavoidable.
