Yea, we forgot how awesome this remix is. We posted the Miike Snow “Animal” track done by Mark Ronson earlier in the year and just rekindled our love for it today. For those of you who have never heard it, give it a listen. For those of you who have, get your ass out of the desk chair and start dancing. Now.

If you’ve ever dreamt of having a song written about you or have ever foolishly convinced yourself that a song you love was written about you (it’s okay), then Belle and Sebastian are now offering to make your dreams come true.
In honor of their upcoming album Write About Love, due out on October 12th, the Scottish outfit is opening up the chance for its fans to win themselves a personalized song. The contest is based on an essay and may remind you of your high school years, but it should be nothing to deter the truly determined, especially since the winner will get to see their song released as a 7″ next year.
This is how it works:
Step 1: Purchase Write About Love from your local record store or your digital store of choice.
Step 2: Type in the code you received with your purchase onto the band’s website.
Step 3: Write about love in a 300-word essay.
Once this process is completed, the band will choose its favorite submission and Stuart Murdoch will head over to the winner’s home and spend a day with him or her to get inspired and write the coveted personalized song.
You can start to get your own creative juices flowing by watching this “Write about Love” video HERE.

The Ohio based group Pomegranates has returned with a new album titled One of Us, which is due for release on October 26th from Afternoon Records. The band known for its delightful and poppy albums now supply us with a third and have also announced a massive tour with Oh No Oh My.
The single of the album “Prouncer” could be some of the bands finest work. Joey Cook and Issac Karns, who share vocal duties throughout the album, split the song as a duet. The song is as catchy as it gets and truly captures the bands 80s influenced poppy sound that they have conveyed throughout their first two albums.
