Mix CD Life: Relax a Little
Long story short, I haven’t had internet at my house for three weeks. What is my life?
But since I have no intention of living like a wireless hermit, crippled by lack of Tumblr, I’ve been bubbling away with slightly less than new music that’s been sifting its way throughout my laptop. Semi-zen? Semi-passionate? You tell me.
Agnes Obel walks in with a soft, siren’s lull; Bandini’s Ecstasy of Gold remix gives us a little more hope; Ooah’s remix of Emancipator’s First Snow offers up a first taste of strength (along with more than a few voice samples); Junior Boys chime in with a little dose of sexy (not everything relaxing has to be tame); and RAC’s Washed Out Remix patiently leads us up to an incredibly far-reaching outro: Royksopp’s version of In This Shirt - pure emotion held within the body of a 10+ minute track. Is it too soon to call it love?
Call it Heartbeats. Think about what that means to you. Feel something. Why are there still words here? Just listen.

- Madeon - Pop Culture (Live Mashup)
Madeon doing a live mashup of 39 songs he likes. Insane and magical at the same time. There are enough cuts and flawless transitions that this piece of art isn’t simply a song. It’s a performance.
Full list of the songs he used in the video’s description. (Daft Punk, Kylie Minogue, Bag Raiders, Gaga, Alphabeat, and so many more.)
Misirlou has officially worked its way onto a party playlist with the likes of Daft Punk, Miami Horror, Roxy Music, Billy Idol, and of course.. Lady Gaga. Three hours of tracks (that edit right into each other) and still going. So much to fix, though.. full playlist available later!
Why Dick Dale? Because Misirlou is fucking amazing. That’s why.
