Calvin Harris Remixes Passion Pit

I think the title says it all. Calvin Harris recently remixed Passion Pit’s ‘The Reeling’ and the only reaction that can explain this is ‘WOW’. Combining two of the current hottest musical forces Harris manages to give a whole new life to this Passion Pit song….just when you didn’t think one of their songs could possibly get any better.  Giving the song a little softer tone and a brilliant into bassline I can only imagine what would happen if these guys made a record together. 

Passion Pit is currently on tour so don’t forget to check them out in your city! Tour dates can be found at their Myspace.

Modest Mouse ‘Guilty Cocker Spaniels’

Modest Mouse, oh has it been that long since we’ve heard from you last? It seems like it. The band has just released the first single off thier upcoming record ‘No One’s First And You’re Next ‘ titled ‘Satellite Skin’, but the band has now released the B-side of the vinyl single ‘Guilty Cocker Spaniels’.  The single will be out on vinyl, limited edition of 4,000 copies, on May 26th. Try and get your hands on it. ‘Guilty Cocker Spaniels’ is quickly becoming one of my favorite songs by the band…maybe its because I have a cocker spaniel.

Broken Social Scene Preps New Album (Finally)

Its hard to believe that was last heard from Broken Social Scene, as a collective, nearly 4 years ago.  With all side projects on the back burner now, the band has returned to the studio together to reignite the fire that started it all. BSS is currently recording at Soma Studios in Chicago with producer John McEntire. This of course is a big change for the band since the previous albums were recorded David Newfeld who is currently working on other projects at the moment. With a new producer in tow, how will the new tracks sound? I guess we’ll have to wait and see for now because this is very recent. The band is still in the midst of writing songs and getting reacquainted with each other.

The first book about BSS has also been released this week titled ‘This Book is Broken.’ I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet but it is a given that it will be interesting.  It includes the biography of BSS as well as interviews.

Mostar Diving Club ‘Honey Tree’

Once again I’m obsessed with another Honda Insight commercial. I’m not sure who picks out the music for them, but damn do they keep finding the most addicting tunes. Thanks to one of my favorite sites, TunesonTv it makes it so easy for me to find out that song that has been stuck in my head all day. First it was the Great Lake Swimmers ‘See You on the Moon’ and now they are back with the UK’s  Mostar Diving Club’s ‘Honey Tree’. The band is the first solo project of singer/songwriter from Obi, Damian Katkhuda. Talk about some of the catchiest songs ever, definatly listen to this one.

Wilco’s New Album, Already Online

Sorry for the short of posts this week.  Its been interesting to say the least. Back to business though. Alt Country grandfathers, Wilco, have put their newest album titled ‘Wilco (the album)’ up on their site to stream. Yes its a full month before the record comes out and is a very lovely treat for us all. The record drops June 30th on Nonesuch Records. Listening to the stream, I think it is one of my favorite Wilco albums to date. And talking about dates, check out the tour dates on their page. Chances are they are coming to a town near you…with Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley band in tow.

Happy Mother’s Day!

A shoutout to all the Mothers out there. Hope you are having a very Happy Mother’s Day and your family is taking care of you.

Of course the day couldn’t be complete without a song. Check out a find from my personal music collection; Black Bear’s ‘Whistler’s Mother’s Day’. If your mom likes whistling, this song is for you….there are words too though in case you were wondering.
