Music, musings, and current obsessions.
Basically, I’m too lazy to come up with new audio posts every day. Bad idea. But I made another blog attached to this, (this being my main, even though I no longer want it, ughhh Tumblr), so so so. FOLLOW MY OTHER ONE:

KGO AND ENJOY ME THERE.
Rosanna.
Her music is infectious. “Waterfall” is her first single, which is kind of downtempo and chill but still very pop. However, Fear of Tigers (who I adore), made a remix of “Waterfall” that still blows my mind. And, the Rocket Boy remix of another Rosanna song, “Runaway,” is equally amazing (and also available for download on the Popjustice site).
Download links below (both in 320 kbps, because I love you)! As always, enjoy.
RATATAT.
I just got back from a Ratatat concert. And let me tell you, it was fucking incredible. The lights, the set-up, the videos playing, the lights, the videos on the side, THE LIGHTS. Everyone was so into it and they were so into it and I am still in awe. I can hardly hear now, and I am going to die in my 8am class tomorrow (today), but it was well worth it.
I’m posting my favorite songs (two of which are old but whatever, if you don’t have them in your iTunes library, you need them) for download:
“Brazil” - Deadmau5
I posted a link to this song in my previous Deadmau5 reblog, but for the love of all that is good and holy, please listen to this. It is without a doubt my favorite Deadmau5 song, before he sold out and went dubstep (they’re not related, necessarily, they just occurred around the same time). It is trance-y and wonderful and one of my favorite songs ever.
Travis McCoy. Travie. Whatever you choose to call him. Regardless, the man is gorgeous. And talented, even in his Gym Class Heroes days (which I miss!).
Of course, everyone knows “Billionaire”. It’s ubiquitous these days. And it’s a good song, yes, but I think most people overlook the fact that most of the songs on Lazarus are great. So, I’m providing download links to three other songs on Lazarus. Enjoy!
“Need You” (My personal favorite. It’s catching on! I heard it in a bar.)
“Superbad (11:34)” (This shows a whole new aspect of him I didn’t know about. Love.)
Also, let me just say, my favorite song featuring Travie will always be “Cookie Jar”. ALWAYS. FOREVER. I have such abiding love for that song.
All the lovers that have come before, they don’t compare to you.
Another Kylie post? How diverse of me. But honestly, this is awesome. It’s the Robotaki remix of “All The Lovers”. And it’s awesome, chilled and melodic and blissful. (Yet another discovery that I owe to my boyfriend.)
Download it here.
Enjoy!
If you don’t know about Russ Chimes, get ready for a little music education. In the form of music, of course.
His debut EP “Midnight Club” is coming out soon. There have been three videos made in anticipation of the EP’s release, which you can see by going to his website. All three are great, and the cinematography is insane(ly good).
He also released an hour long Expressway mixtape. (That’s the download link). It’s so fucking good. I found the video trilogy and my boyfriend sent me the mixtape. It’s a shared obsession. The whole entire mix is entertaining, which is rare. But of course, there are a few songs on it in particular that I loved. So I’m putting up download links for some specific songs, in case you’re like me and you like music tracks to contain only one song.
“Malfunction” - Louis La Roche
“Hold On (Russ Chimes Remix)” - The Vanish
“Starry Eyed (Russ Chimes Remix)” - Ellie Goulding
“4h30” - Danger (I really hope you already know Danger and this song. He’s great.)
**I wanted to include Reset!’s “If We Try (Russ’ Love Anthem Guitar Solo Edit)” but I can’t find it anywhere as of right now. But listen to it.**
“Raise Your Weapon” - Deadmau5
Deadmau5 unhooked live streaming from the DJ booth in NY to the world on Sept. 14th, 2010, and his Ustream, Twitter, and Facebook went absolutely nuts. Among what Mr. Mau5 dropped to his approx 9,000 viewers was this new track “Raise Your Weapon” (featuring Sofi, I believe), and here finally is an HQ of it.
Deadmau5 has been recently posting status updates on his Facebook with links to dubstep tracks called ”dub5tepthingies”. It looks as though he is producing under the alias fuckmylife. Deadmau5 has always experimented with different sounds, but is he moving towards a more dubstep sound? Who knows, but I’m excited either way. The track is awesome.
Download “Raise Your Weapon” here.
- Kevin Michels
This is so much better than what Deadmau5 has been putting out there recently. I’m in love. And, below is a link to download my favorite Deadmau5 song, “Brazil”. Yet another song that appeals to my taste for house music with trance influences.
Lazydisco - “More Tigers” (Download it here.)
This is Fred Falke’s club edit of Florrie’s “Give Me Your Love”. I’ll admit, I didn’t find it on my own… my boyfriend showed it to me. But it’s been on repeat and I may or may not have been dancing to it in my room for the past few days.
Download links for this song and another Fred Falke remix of a Florrie song:
“Give Me Your Love (Fred Falke Club Edit)” - Florrie
“Call 911 (Fred Falke Remix)” - Florrie (seriously, download this, it gets fucking crazy at the 1 minute mark)
Enjoy!
