little pictures: remix contest.

——————————————————————–——-

It’s been a minute or 4 million blogyears since ITMS!! has held a remix contest, so it’s time to do it up big with New Zealand’s electro-bedroom-pop darlings Little Pictures and their tune “This House Can Fit Us All”. The rules are pretty much the same as before. Anyone is eligible, anything goes. What are you waiting for? Download the remix kit below and make some magik happen. Obviously you don’t have to use everything included in the remix kit. Hell, submissions can even be covers or reinterpretations.

The rules are a bit different this time around, as the winner will be chosen by the ITMS!! team and ultimately the original musicians. Because apparently, this time around, I think democracy is overrated. A few choice runner-ups will be written up on here, and the grand prize winner will receive…

  • a signed copy of Owl + Owl.
  • a temporary place on Little Pictures’ myspace player.
  • a customized ITMS!! badoodle.
  • A SPECIAL MYSTERY PRIZE!!

Submissions can be sent to itisthemoneyshot.info@gmail.com. Deadline is now December 7, 2008. The winner and all runner-ups will be announced in a series of posts starting in December.

japattack: anoraak & sgt sass remixes.

——————————————————————–——-

I have to confess that I’ve been stalking West Philly’s up-and-coming electro remixers JAPATTACK! through their blog ATTACKTHAT! They first came to my attention when I heard their remix of “Faggot Snappin” by my boys Sgt. Sass, and I’ve been keeping my eye on them since. Beyond my favorite fag-rappers, they’ve been keeping the blog world busy with their remixes of Thunderheist, Rye Rye, Spank Rock, South Rakkas Crew, Amanda Blank, Pase Rock, and a very popular mix of MGMT, Pitbull, and Justice.

It recently came to my attention that they had been vying for a spot on the new ANORAAK EP and would be submitting a remix of “Nightdrive With You”. The duo seemed a little uncertain about remixing a song with singing (up to this point they’ve only dealt with rapping) and are having a laugh “over remixing a love song”, but it turns out that they’ve made one of their best remixes yet. I know this as trite as far as blogger-talk goes, but it really keeps the spirit of the original while bringing something entirely new to the table. I’d even go as far as saying that I enjoy this a little bit more than the Adeyhawke or Fear of Tigers remixes. You know I wouldn’t lie about these things. I have such a music-boner for ANORAAK, so this is serious business.

Of note, this past Monday JAPATTACK! dropped Attack That Sass, a collection of Sgt. Sass remixes which includes the “Faggot Snappin” mix and more. They’re also starting to record some tracks with original vocals, so it ain’t just about the remixes! Keep tabs on these boys by adding their blog to your RSS feed. These boys have a lot of potential, and they’re seemingly getting better with each day that passes.

a.human: pacey singer.

——————————————————————–——-

A.Human are following up their first single, “Black Moon,” with “Pacey Singer,” another song on the Nick Cave does Depeche Mode tip. This band seems to be rapidly developing into one of those bands to chase, appealing to all points of my fifteen odd years of music fandom in some way. They’re brilliant acoustic, they’re good fun electric, and they’re not bad in the club either. What’s not to love?

Oh and hi. I used to keep an mp3 blog, back in the more formative days of all of this, that none of you ever read called Uncritical. I’m helping out Mr JJS III for a bit. I’m no kind of artist, but I’ll be posting art by friends in the future.
