Remix Roundup Vol. 58 – 12.21.2011 [Dada Life, Fleetwood Mac, Yelle, Dada LIfe, and more...]

Holy hickory haystacks!  Major problems on the internet connection frontier today.  If you follow me on the twitter, you know that I was trying to have this up in the AM.  Where is M.I.A. and Flux Pavilion when you need them?

Anyway, we’ve got the holidays smacking us in our faces right now, which means the year is pretty much over,… Soo I just …

[MP3] ALEX WINSTON is a fly chick i’d be stoked to have as a SISTER or a WIFE but definitely not as both

i’m telling you, one wrong move and we’re through

♫ Alex Winston – Sister Wife

My favorite Detroit-based barely-of-legal-drinking-age multi-instrumentalist, Alex Winston, is back with a teaser jam from her Feb 7th mini-album of the same name. Taking an (i’m assuming) tongue-in-cheek take on polygamy, Winston casts herself as a first wife who has to suddenly share her man with …
