This whole Radiohead remix contest is so genius to us. From the band's new marketing strategies, to their inclusion of labelmates Holy Fuck's very timely remix, it excites us to see artists thinking in new ways, and finding other means of promoting their music. The new era of music is upon us it seems.
However, we do have our favorites when it comes to the entries. We don't often ask for much, but we're calling you on all the music favours we've dealt. We feel this is very Obama/Clinton of us to ask but... IF you can get behind ONE Radiohead remix out of this whole competition we would HIGHLY suggest you vote to help in the fight fellow Canadian band Circlesquare's remix to the top of things.
We know, it's they're a very late contender, --what with only a week to go until the competition calls it quits, but we can make a difference. And we're quite confident it will work. Circlesquare has managed to change the song into a tense, droning, slow crawling track that even features vocals some from the lead singer Jeremy Shaw himself.
Join us to move them forward. Have a listen to Circlesquare's remix of Radiohead's Nude below by clicking on the play button, and VOTE TODAY! Tell your friends, family, cats, co-workers. Click HERE to get the Widget for your site.
Some of the most prolific and seminal music of our time finally comes to life beautifully, in this exquisite and equally touching new video from Riskay.
This has been sitting in our inbox for months, and we've been meaning to share it, so here it is.
Tafra is one of those artists whose songs are very simple, yet very charming. He's not the world's strongest singer, and his beats aren't really the fattest, heaviest things you've ever heard, but you can't help but buy into his carefree approach. It's very basement producer, and we love it.
Have a listen to the sunny "Cheesy Epic View" below, and no --it's not your mobile going off, thats the production.
New video from Soma's Croucher & Myles (Croucher is the man responsible for discovering Mylo in 2002). The single "Vicious Cycle" is an important one, as all profits from their the single will be going to Yorkhill Children's Hospital, with famed Glasgow artist Peter Howson contributing artwork for the 12"
Soma will be releasing an extremely limited run of 20 vinyl in printed canvas sleeves and auctioning these off to aid the charity.
Here's a banging new track from The Black Ghosts' soon to be released Mixtape featuring a bevvy of talent like Alter Ego, The Gossip, Boy 8-Bit, Bonde Do Role, and more!
A band that needs no introduction (because their introduction was so cleverly planned) is Toronto's Holy Fuck.
Their remix of Radiohead's "Nude" was the first, and the hardest to spread throughout the Internet, and not suprisingly either, considering they're signed to the same label and Radiohead. They also had their remix, mastered and ready-to-go the day the contest was announced, exposing them to millions of Radiohead fans.
Hmmmm. Sounds to us like some very smart marketing...
Here is a wonderful Riton rerub of "Lovely Allen" of their brand new EP:
We loved PJ Fresh Phil, except, looking back on this he seems a bit under the influence of something...and we can't quite put our nose, --er ...finger on it. (If you're not from Canada, you'll find probably this stupid and useless...actually, even if are from Canada you may find this stupid and useless)
Wait, do you guys remember Goosebumps & Are You Afriad Of The Dark?!. My friend got scared when the golden retriever's eyes glowed yellow.
Hey folks, our bi-weekly MIXTAPE WEDNESDAY is coming right up, but first we're onto introducing a new post we'll be doing monthly regarding a certain party that stands out to us.
So from this day forth, we ALSO want to hear about your hottest parties! Don't send us your weekly newsletter or any of that shit, that will just annoy us. But IF you have a party that you would like to share with us, no matter where in the world you might sit, and you know that its worth knowing about ---then LET US KNOW! BeebBlog@Gmail.com
Not only will we post the flyer, but we will also post a song which we feel ties into the event. That could get gross, but have faith in us.
Anyway, this month, we've got good old missAmanda Lepore performing alongside the legendaryHouse Of Venus @ MIXED-UP! Saturdays @ Vancouver's The Biltmore Cabaret (2755 Prince Edward), Saturday May 3rd.
The world's most famous shim will also be accompanied by the always fabulous feminem-rap-star Cazwell, so don't miss it!

My friends….. NONE OF THE ABOVE!!! AN ENTIRELY NEW DESIGNED SET!!! ROBOT DESIGNED BY ACCLAIMED ARTIST CHRISTIAN COLON, CREATURE’S BY THE LEGENDARY JIM HENSON’S CREATURE SHOP, LIGHTING BY MARTIN PHILLIPS AND JOHN McGUIRE RESPONSIBLE FOR LAST YEARS FESTIVAL ANNIHILATOR, DAFT PUNK’S PYRAMID, POSSIBLY THE GREATEST LIGHT SHOW OF ALL TIME!!

SAM SPIELGAL, MIKE DEAN, JEFF BAXTER AND I HAVE SPENT A MONTH AND A HALF RE-ORCHESTRATING EVERY TRACK 2 FOLLOW A NARRATIVE. WE’VE LEARNED TO SURVIVE OFF OF 1 HOUR OF SLEEP A DAY!
Even though she claims she "can't take the pressure", we know lots of people that would like to take her pressure --down dere, IF you know what I mean.
Okay, you're right. That doesn't make any sense. Here is Robyn's new video for her single "Who's That Girl".
"The beamz™ unleashes the musical creativity that's harbored in every soul."
Bwahahahahahahaha! Uh, no thanks. This commercial for beamz™ Music Performance System unleashes something thats harbored in us, but we don't know about the whole soul part. It's feeling alot more bowel related.
Where do we start?!
1) Um, Did they find these "actors" on Craigslist? We're pretty sure the people in this are current/future porno actors on their days off. There is something oddly gross about watching these excuses for humans interact.
2) The product looks like someone took a patio chair and turned it on its head.
3) What is up with the whole marketing angle they're taking with the father/son time?! The only thing the beamz will do is make your kids gay. Seriously. Once they cross those lazers, their genetics will be changed forever.
We're not really sure where this is going, and we want to ask you who out of everyone in this you want to harm most, but we won't...so
