Pure imagination...

Remixes Made With Tennis Data by James Murphy (of LCD Soundsystem)

If you like tennis & James Murphy &/or LCD Soundsystem, then James Murphy's latest album entitled Remixes Made With Tennis Data is for you!! 

I'm not sure where the idea initially came from but James Murphy worked with IBM to convert raw data sounds pulled from U.S. Open tennis matches into listenable, danceable music. By utilizing a specific algorithm I won't pretend to understand, Murphy & IBM ended up creating over 400 hours worth of sound then Murphy remixed that material into the album now entitled Remixes Made With Tennis Data. 

There are no vocals on any of the 12 tracks so don't expect anything TOO similar to my beloved LCD Soundsystem but this upbeat, instrumental, electronic music makes for a great working, studying, exercising &/or cleaning the house soundtrack!

No Rain by Blind Melon - PUMPKIN REMIX

I think I like this remix of Blind Melon's No Rain better than the original!! It definitely gives me a newfound appreciation for this classic track!

Jamie XX Boiler Room Mix

Jamie XX's Sunday night closing set at FYF Fest was 1 of my favorite acts of the weekend & I'm now obsessed with the man. I've listened to this 55-minute Boiler Room mix straight through 4 times already in the past 48 hours!

P.S. Stay tuned for my FYF recap! I'm quite behind on my show posts as I still need to cover both Outside Lands in SF which was from 8/8-8/10 & Portugal. The Man & Grouplove at The Greek Theatre which was on 8/15 AND, after I finally get to FYF, I'll need to immediately post about NIN & Soundgarden at Hollywood Bowl last night! August has been a VERY busy, INCREDIBLE month of live music!!!

Jack-Ass by Beck SAMPLES It's All Over Now, Baby Blue by Them

Until yesterday, I never knew Beck sampled a pretty amazing 1966 song It's All Over Now, Baby Blue by Them when he created 1 of my all-time favorite Beck tracks EVER, Jack-Ass.

The more you know!!! :)

Marvin Gaye's Sunny Remixed by Mercury (Edit II)

My favorite newlyweds, Charlene & Dan, did 1 of the coolest things ever for the attendees of their recent wedding celebration. They created a 9 HOUR mix CD with just a few of their favorite tracks ;-) I'm not even an hour into it & I'm already obsessed. I'm certainly going to get a LOT of blog material from it!!

THANK YOU, Char Char & Danimal, & CONGRATULATIONS again, lovebirds!

Here's just 1 example of the awesomeness:

Teenage Crime by Adrian Lux (Thomas Jack Remix)

This is 1 of my favorite tracks to bump in my headphones while running along the beach. I sometimes even repeat it once or twice because it really pumps me up. You should try it! :)

LIARS Remix Moby's Almost Home

LIARS' new remix of Moby's track Almost Home just made a world of difference in getting me through this beyond hectic (post week & a 1/2 vacation) Monday. It can help you too!!
