Bill O'Reilly Busts a Mean Tune

GiggleSugar — Wed, 14 May 2008 07:00:00 -0700

If there ever was any doubt, it's now been confirmed that Bill O'Reilly has the temperament of a two-year-old. A vid of him blowing a gasket behind the news desk surfaced yesterday and can be found in nearly every corner of the net today. His a-hole outburst has become a viral video success. But Billy boy didn't think we'd let him off the hook that easy, did he? Oh no, there's more. There's the remix.

Song of the Day: Andrew Bird, "Imitosis (Four Tet Remix)"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 06:30:00 -0800

As we reflect on the year's best everything, I'm dragging out all of the CDs that are likely to make my best of 2007 list, including Armchair Apocrypha by Andrew Bird. In addition to being the most handsome and sharply dressed multi-instrumentalist of 2007, Bird makes some of the most surprisingly danceable music around, despite the fact that violin is one of his primary instruments.

That fact hasn't gone unnoticed by the electronica wizards behind Four Tet, who remixed Bird's "Imitosis" to very fun effect. It's a must-listen if you're a Bird fan, or if you just want a little something to get you shakin' in your seat, so read more

The Toddler Remix

If Britney had the good sense to make this little tyke her next producer, she'd have a hit single in no time. Skeptical? Watch and let this kid's music speak for itself. Either that, or let her head noddin' do all the talking. (Cuz, let's be honest, carrying a conversation with the kid is probably a non-option at this point...)

This Is Sparta, Muthaf*ckas!

King Leonidas from 300 wants you to know that Sparta effin rocks! (And if you're wondering who that fierce baby is, just click here.)

Song of the Day: Justice Remixes Justin Timberlake's "LoveStoned"

BuzzSugar — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 14:00:00 -0700

Now that it's acceptable for indie-rockers to like Justin Timberlake, it's only natural that his music is getting remixed by hipster electronica outfits. Case in point: This insanely danceable, down-and-dirty remix of "LoveStoned" by Justice. (Thanks to Hate Something Beautiful for posting the track.)

The French beat-making pair brings out the orchestra elements on the song, adds a slight industrial vibe, and beautifully evokes JT's Michael Jackson roots. You can listen to it online here or just read more

Song of the Day: Feist, "Gatekeeper" (Pocketknife Folded Beach Towel Remix)

BuzzSugar — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 07:14:00 -0700

Feist's new album, The Reminder, is full of must-listen Summer music. But the first Feist song I ever heard was actually the pensive and chilly "Gatekeeper," from 2004's "Let It Die." Now, the wintery ballad can settle in alongside the warm-weather anthems of The Reminder thanks to this Folded Beach Towel remix by Pocketknife.

This evocatively named revision is more of an oceanside chill-out dance tune than Feist's original guitar ditty, and Pocketknife describes it quite well as having "a brazilian/latin flavour, just in time for the summer parties.” To listen, read more

The Vagina Power Dance Remix (NSFW)

GiggleSugar — Mon, 07 May 2007 14:45:00 -0700

She is out of control, but we had to post her. This is the remixed version of the viral video starring public access superstar, Alexyss K. Taylor. Trust me, this condensed version of her "vagina power" rant is far more entertaining and powerful than the original-- not just because her gibberish is set to music, but because the "hard-hitting" points are spelled out and scroll across the screen for us. Prepared to be informed, and bust a move while you're at it. (Thanks, Web Junk TV!)

Song of the Day: The Shins, "Sleeping Lessons (The Rac Mix)"

BuzzSugar — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 12:49:02 -0700

"Sleeping Lessons" is easily my favorite song off The Shins' latest album, Wincing the Night Away, and I like the way the band gives it an entirely different vibe on this remix from the new Australia EP.

The slowed-down "Sleeping Lessons (The Rac Mix)" eschews the startling mood swings of the original in favor of a more soothing and lullaby-like sound. To listen and tell me what you think, read more

Song of the Day: Junior Boys, "In the Morning" (Hot Chip Remix)

BuzzSugar — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 08:53:04 -0800

"In the Morning," the breakout track from Junior Boys' 2006 album So This Is Goodbye, was one of last year's most unexpectedly sexy songs. (It even made it onto my songs for gettin' it on playlist.)

But I'm also loving this very different take on the track, remixed by Hot Chip. In the hands of the London electro-indie rockers, "In the Morning" becomes more of a languid, club-suited song with lots of robotic effects and skittish beats. It appears on the forthcoming EP, Dead Horse. The remix should get you psyched for the weekend, so to hear it, read more
