A brand new remix of "Take on Me," who would have guessed?
This one's by the Brazilian producing duo The Twelves. Their other remixes are of modern acts like MIA, Black Kids, The Virgins, etc. According to electronic rumors, a few artists have recently remixed ToM for a Norwegian Chrysler promotion. What a great idea! This is the first one I've come across, and it's making its way round the interwebs right now.
When I first listened to it I didn't think it was anything spectacular. Honestly though, the more I hear it, the more I like it. It's fun and fresh. It retains the original's spirit while putting a totally modern spin on it.
Totally worth a listen, and inclusion on your next party playlist. Enjoy!
The Twelves also have a great remix of Black Kids' "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You" over on their myspace.

Synthtastic!
Thank God for the synthesizer, am i right?
Here are some tunes I'm pretty into right now. Get ready to dance!
1. Spaceman - The Killers
Of course I'm gonna start things off with the best song ever written bout alien abduction. duh.
2. Spiralling (Radio Edit) - Keane
Great tune. And I'm so glad to hear them explore other sounds, because it's easy to just try and replicate your own success and write the same song over and over (*cough* Coldplay). The spoken-ish bridge is weird though. And the "radio edit" is better, trust me.
3. I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You - Black Kids
LOVE the bassline in this song. so hot.
4. Say Goodbye - Samuel
Catchy song. When I saw him perform, people were outside later singing and humming this song. i even caught myself doing it! and i swear i'm not biased just because i know him and the song's producer. Hahah, though the "You're making it hard for me" line makes me think of the 90's hit "Too Close," which then makes me laugh. (circa 1:10. also, WHAT IS THAT VIDEO?!? i'm not even gonna start)
5. Sleeping In - The Postal Service
Cause every playlist needs its slow jam.
6. Again & Again - Keane
Sorry to break the mix tape rules, but what can i say? Perfect Symmetry is a pretty synthtastic album.
7. Take on Me - RAC feat Karl Kling
It'll never get old. The granddaddy of synth tunes. obvs!
8. Time to Pretend - MGMT
Now THAT'S a synth riff.
9. Take a Bow - Muse
Cause every playlist needs its post-apocalyptic jam.
imeem GO!
