your dub

if you haven't yet heard Ellie Goulding's cover of Elton John's "Your Song" you're missing out.  here's the original and a fresh new dubstep remix.  both gold.

Your Song - Ellie Goulding

Your Song (Blackmill Dubstep Remix) - Ellie Goulding

the british are coming!

Three British artists you had better know:

Adele - she usually sings ballads, but this particular track has been getting remixed right and left, check out Dan Clare's take below

Rolling in the Deep (Dan Clare Club Remix) - Adele

Mika - his songs are fun and catchy, and completely off the wall
Big Girls - Mika

Ellie Goulding - if you've been living under a rock for the past year, crawl out and get some Ellie in your system.  Her smooth voice over electro-pop beats are perfection.  This song has been getting a ton of playback on my end so enjoy:
The Writer (Friends Electric Remix) - Ellie Goulding

can't behave

Deadmau5 randomly dropped this electropop track a bit ago.  It's way different from the stuff on his album, which is a good thing.   Take a listen!

I Can't Behave Myself (ft. Neon Hitch) - Deadmau5

happy holidays

As a Christmas fanatic I try my best to regulate the amount of Christmas music I listen to so I don't burn out before the actual day.  These two tracks I can listen to over and over.  I love the classic Bing Crosby/Nat King Cole genre of holiday music and these two tracks embody that with a modern twist.  They're obviously reworked but it's not obnoxious.  These songs can work in every situation, so play them at the family Christmas party, and then at the Ugly Sweater Party with your friends.

Merry Christmas and enjoy!

Happy Holidays (Beef Wellington Remix) - Bing Crosby

I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm (Stuhr Remix) - Kay Starr

brought to you by...

here are two songs i heard from commercials that i immediately searched and downloaded

the first is from a stupid jewelry store commercial, the ad itself is cheesy but the song is excellent
Girl Is On My Mind - The Black Keys

the next is from a subaru commercial which is actually pretty cool, and the song totally works with the ad.  it really made me want to listen to more of Sean Hayes' stuff, he reminds me of a mountain version donavon frankenreiter
Powerful Stuff - Sean Hayes

my moon, my man

I just came across this Feist song, which put me in the mood for more Feist.  I feel like she got a bad rap with 1, 2, 3, 4 (sure it was a hit, but that's just not the kind of song that can survive MTV and radio overkill).  Her other stuff is great, and she has this smooth, almost eerie vibe, mixed with a bit of funk.  Check out the songs below and enjoy.

One Evening (VV Mix) - Feist

Inside and Out - Feist

My Moon, My Man - Feist

this week's been pretty cold and gray, which makes me want to listen to music that has more of a wintery trance-like vibe.  here's a list of the songs i've been craving this week:

this song reminds me of high school, everything pharrell touches is gold

DJ M.i.F. does some great mashups.  this one always pumps me up, and i'm such a sucker for Wicked Games by Chris Issak
Lift Up The Wicked Technology (Deadmau5 vs. Daft Punk vs. Moby vs. Chris Isaak vs. Milow vs. Thomas Gold) - DJ M.i.F.

i'm really liking Bruno Mars' new stuff, this song is pretty cheesy, but catchy and cute, and has a great doo-wop vibe (guess that's why the new album is titled Doo-Wops and Hooligans
Marry You - Bruno Mars

huge bob sinclar fan, this is a great track to listen to with the windows down in the middle of summer
Rainbow of Love ft. Ben Onono - Bob Sinclar
