Cause I Feel Like It #$

hi there. i am avoiding my homework.

Cause I Feel Like It #$, le zip

House/Club

Canblaster - Clockworks
SO GOOD. Canblaster is someone to watch. Get this for sure.

Wobble (Original Mix) - Albin Myers
Prog meets fidget house. insane. thanks apes with barrels

Pop Remixes

My Neck, My Back, My Animal Rights (2deadbeatz Mashup) - Mau5 and Gartner

YEP!

Party in the USA (Frederik Olufsen Remix) - Miley Cyrus

Eh, okay. Nice shotgun sample

Party And Bullshit (In the USA Remix) - Miley Cyrus vs Notorious BIG
GET THIS if you don't have it already. play it at parties, people will be your friend

Power (Paper Diamond Remix) - Kanye West

I've already posted this but think it needs to be posted again - Alex B goes apeshit on Kanye W

Nguzunguzu

These guys, from LA, are pretty much their own genre. Describing Nguzunguzu's sound is about as easy as saying their name (its not). Suffice to say it is clubby, hot, tropical, heavy electro. Its very odd in many ways and you need to be in the mood for it.. but they are fascinating. Watch out for them for SURE (along with Canblaster).

Drugs (Nguzunguzu Remix) - Ratatat

CARESSS$ - Nguzunguzu

Deuces (Nguzunguzu Remix) - Ciara

Got U - Nguzunguzu

Strut - Nguzunguzu

Bonus Tracks

Walking With A Ghost (Tegan And Sara Cover) - The White Stripes (Removed)

Now that they broke up we have to celebrate them!

Avantcore - Busdriver (Removed)

This is mostly here for El Langosta, because we both love indie rap. Busdriver is a member of the Nobody/Nocando cadre. that means its awesome. i mean, the track in this is essentially a piano jig with clever and light lyrics on top. loveeeeeeee

Cause I Feel Like It ##

its wintry and gross outside (pic above is my unartistic attempt at the view from my dorm window). Naturally, all i want to do is stay inside, not do homework for my classes later today, play good music and drink tea from a french press... not that i am trying to make myself sound like a hipster. this isn't a tumblr. anyway, this is installation #3 (or ##) of my series of obscenely eclectic posts. Tracks are broken down by category, with zips at both ends for those of you that have trouble finding them.

Cause I Feel Like It #, Zipped

Beat Music

Look At All The Smiling Faces (Take Remix) - Shigeto

Thanks, XLR8R!

Indie Rock/Folk

First Aid Kit are a sister-sister folk duo from sweden (why does sweden produce the best folk music ever? cf tallest man on earth). They became quickly popular with their rendition of the Fleet Foxes song Tiger Mountain Peasant song on YouTube, but they are talented far far beyond just a cover. Very talented. And a family band! (+15 patkins points)

Tiger Mountain Peasant Song - First Aid Kit

Hard Believer - First Aid Kit (Removed)

I Met Up With A King - First Aid Kit

Akron/Family. I don't know enough about them, besides the fact that they are from NYC/Seattle and are really awesome experimental indie rockers. Well, i guess i know enough. they have a new album released Feb 8th, this track included. Definitely a nice, open, backbeat-heavy rock jam.

So It Goes - Akron/Family

Mumford and Sons - Like the Fleet Foxes, but more like rain coming down than flurries swirling outside your window. I think that is a very accurate simile. 

The Cave - Mumford and Sons

Awake My Soul - Mumford and Sons

Iron And Wine - Me and Lazarus

For emma. also from their new album.

Dubstep/Electro Coda

Satisfaction (J. Rabbit Remix) - Benny Benassi

Yep. This is absolutely epic. My roomie had no idea what was coming. Shout out to Apes With Barrels. I don't know where they find these things.

Neck Snappah - Caspa

Very Caspa-y. Excellently minimal buildup (which would make it really easy to drop into a set, just saying). the rest of the song is straight up caspa. thats the only word i have to describe it.

Divine (Danger Remix) - Sebastien Tellier

Langosta shared this with us on Facebook and labelled it "JAM", but failed to share it on the blog. So here it is. Its not dubstep - its electro house. the hook gets you within the first 5 seconds of the song. definitely "JAM".

Cause I Feel Like It #, Zipped

enjoy this music as much as i have been

Cause I Feel Like It #@

yep, its time for another of these. This one is a bit less crazy and more towards the normal side of music. i hope. I've included more indie alt type stuff because that has really been what i've been into lately. hope its a nice change of pace. there is a zip file at the bottom with everything.

Far Closer (TOKiMONSTA Remix) - Andreya Triana
Not her usual type of song. More chilled out and less like the sound of a audio cabinet getting smashed. I like this a lot. It has a very nice, almost fidgety bass line. :)

Always (Prefuse 73 Remix) - Junip

Firework (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs Remix) - Katy Perry
GET THIS. This is awesome - he puts in the chorus, makes you think its just another remix, and then drops in a FAT ASS TEED bass line. get this. get it. i don't care who you are.


Rox In The Box - The Decemberists 
Just.. so awesome.


Qui Dorm, Només Somia - Deerhoof
This is a wonderful, off-kilter jam from Deerhoof's newest album Deerhoof Vs Evil. Notice that the tempo goes through different feels before it finally settles.. part of their charm is their absolute gift for polyrhythm. This is going to be one of my albums of the year. Also, hopefully Langosta will translate the latin...


Still Sound (Teen Daze Remix) - Toro Y Moi
If your life needs chillwave versions of dancing hipster songs (see previous post)


I'm Not For You - Good Old War
I have been living with these guys and with this song for the past week and a half now. please listen. simon and garfunkel meets fleet foxes meets singer songwriter.


Half Moon - Iron & Wine
From their new album


Who Knows Who Cares - Local Natives
another band i have been living with. this is an excellent, excellent song. listen to it.

Cause I Feel Like It #!

prolly write an  interblog post

the only reason i numbered this post is because i realize that when i have no thematic purpose to a post, its basically a random dump of things that are all worth your while. i think numbering them makes it sound more serious so you'll be more likely to listen. the only difference is that im starting the numbering system as the corresponding symbol rather than the number, !, @, #, and so on. lets see how many i can accomplish before i give up (or langosta kills me)! If you are a brave soul, look for the zip at the bottom.

beat music
Other Side (Nosaj Thing Remix) - Pollyn
This was in the No Such Mix. Its ALL in the bass. use good headphones for this one.

Coat Of Arms (Daedelus Remix) - Nosaj Thing
This isn't typical Daedelus - its more in the vein of Shlohmo and the WEDIDIT crew, but the chap knows what he is doing. Gold star.

Us (Jon Hopkins Remix) - Nosaj Thing
OKAY SO ITS ALL NOSAJ-RELATED, WHATEVER. this is an amazing remix off of Drift Remixed. Got me right from the intro.

Drop It Like Its Not (James Blake Harmonimix Remix) - Snoop Dogg
Okay, not beat music but de stijl in terms of its minimalism and blatant hip-hop influences. and its awesome factor, of course. (also used in No Such Mix)

PROG!!!
Won't Let You Down (Original Club Mix) - Hagenaar and Albrecht
If you don't know what clubby Progressive House sounds like, this will inform you. Make sure you can hear the bass line though! [insert yet another douche comment about headphones here]

Heiress of Valentina (Alesso Radio Edit) - Dune
If you don't know what Progressive Electro House sounds like, this will inform you (with vocals in the style of Jean Valjean). Am i being a genre whore? sorry! DIS IZ AWESEOM

{Token} Dubstep
Make Our Day (VIP) - Funtcase
His name is Cuntfase if you switch the letters around, and he definitely stole the idea for the intro from Caspa. But if you want ridiculous wobble (reference?) with a tasteful amount of grime... delivered. (ps this was in the Bam Bang Bam mix)

Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites (Noisia Remix) - Skrillex
Maybe i'm late on this, but god DAMN this is hot. It seems that when a dubstep producer remixes an original dubstep track, the result is probably the going to be one of the crazier things you have heard to date. I am thinking about Downlink's version of Swagga as corroborating evidence...

Novelty Track!
Office Musik (Clockwork Edit) - Dwight K. Schrute vs Weezy
if you like The Office. And, of course, RAP.

for teh indie kids
Hannah - Freelance Whales
If you haven't heard of these guys yet, i need to fix that. right now. 

Dandelion River Run - Mimi And Richard Fariña
APPALACHIAN FOLK JAM. And besides, there is nothing better than a married couple that produces music (cf The Long Lost for corroborating evidence). 

I Want You - The Tallest Man On Earth
From his recent Daytrotter session. Because i'm in Tallest Man-land.

CAUSE I FEEL LIKE ZIPPING IT.zip

notes
for teh indie kids: i'll be doing a proper, long-overdue indie/folk/whatev post soon. probably the next one. stay with me!

for brave souls: if you like every single song in that zip, you officially have eclectic taste. Crustacean Cognition commends you.
