[MIX] TBE Presents: The 2011 Summer Mega-Mix!

/14 Comments/in , , /by

Cover Art by DARTS

I don’t wanna hear one peep about how “summer is almost over!” or “but it’s not even sunny where I am” or “this mix is late” or “my eyes are melting from that album art.” Summer is a frame of mind and TBE is about to whip yours into shape! Now that you have grown tired of your own summer mix as well as all the ones that other blogs put out months ago, it’s time to get the summer mix to not only end all summer mixes, but to end summer itself! (Except thats not even true because I have a specially themed bonus summer mix for next week! Stay tuned…) The Burning Ear 2011 Summer Mega-Mix has something for everyone and happens in a few different waves so it’s best listened to in order.

So smooth out those short shorts, dust off those cocktail umbrellas, slide those shades up on the nose, and feel the warm breeze between your sandy toes because this mix is about to start with a bang. And did I mention that album art courtesy of DARTS? I can’t even count the number of awesome things going on. There is at least one for each of the 19 jams happening below. Read more

Welcome, welcome…

I hope you are in desperate need of some fresh melodies, because this roundup will dig in your brain 26 chunes deep.

With more and more submissions its getting tough to keep up, but I’ve been burning the midnight oils to bring you RR Vol. 49.  (Almost 50!) Don’t forget TBE was one of the first to bring remixes in the roundup format.  Don’t forget to show us some love and as always GET NURDY as all hell.

 Hey, by the way I’m getting my Twitter fired up.  Follow me @JoelAlbers to get updates on TBE Roundups and all things Nurdy!

♫ Calvin Harris – Feel So Close (TABS Bootleg Remix) / I have a hard time seeing anyone topping  this TABS rework of “Feel So Close”.  This is the kind of remix that puts a fat grin on my face and a wiggle in my hips.

♫ Pendulum – The Island (Madeon remix) / Madeon is a 16 year old producer from France,… a wait, 16?!  Are you F’n kidding???  This kid, ain’t a kid at all.  Dude is a pro.  Props.

[LP/RMX] Foster The People – TORCHES (w/ “Call It What You Want” & various remixes)

well i’m just gonna do here what i gotta do here ’cause I gotta keep myself free

♫ Foster The People – Call It What You Want

When I saw Foster The People kill their show at The Great Escape 10 weeks ago I couldn’t have been more excited for a full album from these LA indie-pop rockers. When Torches finally arrived at my ears a few weeks later I can’t say I was filled with near the same energy that their live show dished out. A few tracks caught my ear (like “Call It What You Want”) and the rest are honestly good jams, but after the triangulated foreplay of “Pumped Up Kicks,” “Helena Beat” and “Houdini” I was ready for a big climax. Anyway, get the album if you haven’t, it’s certainly worth a listen or five. However, what I am more intrigued by is the myriad remix treatments these guys have got. Whether it’s their “buzzworthy” status or they have struck some sort of common chord among the indie-sphere, they have been attracting remixes from all kinds genres and DJs. As a sort of case-study on one of the most hyped bands (and let’s be honest, songs) of the past year or two, I’ve compiled a collection of remixes below. I kick things off with a few new ones and then dig through the archives for ones we have posted before. Enjoy. And of course, leave your thoughts in the comments… if you have any.

We,Joel and Scott, welcome you back.  This time we bring you Remix Roundup Vol. 48.  Damn, that’s a lot.  We can’t believe we’re almost at 50.  Time flies…, too fast these days.  On that note, its time to play a little catch up.

Below we have a mix of mostly new, but some tunes we just missed out on.  Hope you’re hungry, because this is going to take you up a waste size.  Be smart though…  No dancing for at least thirty minutes after ingesting this madness.

Get Nurdy!

Ahhh the wonders of summer.  A time for great tunes, butterflies, unicorns, puppies, summer flings, confetti birthday cakes, cookies and all your favorite things.

Maybe most importantly, its for Getting Nurdy and Party Rock Shuffling your faces off.

This special time of year begs for a soundtrack.  So, I thought, what better day to post something as monumental and life altering as my summer mix, then on the most important day of the year.  MY BIRTHDAY!

Enjoy.

If you are an avid TBE follower you may have noticed we have had some hackers on our site lately.  So, we thought we would let you know we’ve hired some robot ninjas to judo chop the shit out if them.  Oh, you didn’t hear?  Malware Ninjas to the funking rescue!  They have laser beams, flying baby space saucers (just like the movie Battery), boob guns, and really… anything your imaginative mind could ever muster. They are now here to stay and solve any issue TBE may ever encounter.  For now, in this thing we call “the mean time”, enjoy our latest edition of our Remix Roundups.  Annnnd, by the wayss, we are experimenting with some new graphics from our local Austin friend Danielle Villarreal.
