It just so happens that this was a remixin' kind of week. With heavy hitters like Katy Perry, LCD Soundsystem, Passion Pit, and Bear in Heaven, the Covers/Remix section of this week's Friday Mixtape pretty much stole the show. But that's not to say the rest of the mix didn't put up a valiant effort! Along with some stellar remixes, you'll find the week's best new singles plus mp3s from up-and-comers you might just want to check out. Please enjoy. NEW Singles: "Here Sometimes" by Blonde [...]

![Hunters, Run!: EP2 [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2150755_lg.jpg)
Hunters, Run! blend an interesting combo of post-punk and power pop that's super infectious. "If I Had Half A Chance" is filled with power chords and it even highlights some emotive vocal harmony shouts. When the instrumentation drops out during the bridge, leaving little other than the "ohhh ohhh" vocals pattern, the band transcends standards for something on an entirely different plane. EP2 is a single with only two songs, but the two they give the listener are quite astounding. "Simple And Calming" is the [...]

I've been a big fan of Automatic Children for the last few years and this is the second year now that they have made the Deli Magazine's list of top NYC bands. The band is playing tomorrow night at Cameo Gallery (which is inside the Lovin Cup Cafe on N. 6th Street) with Hunters, Run! . Automatic Children have a new 7" out - "Coming Over Me" and "Solitude" which is a limited edition pressing that comes with a digital download card (for those without a turntable). The band is [...]

Yes sir! The original title of this mixtape was "I Could Have Danced All Night" but then I decided to update it for the LOL-cat generation. These songs are for a fancy-casual dance party. For those of you who don't know what that means, it's when you wear what you normally wear and do some fancy dancing. Duh. Ideally, some drinking should happen before this playlist is broken out. People should catch the buzz, but they shouldn't be smangled. Their general level of drunken-ness should be fancy, you know? Unless you're under 21. No drinking should [...]
New York City's Hunters, Run! will produce a series of four 7"s over the course of 2009. Battle Standard Recordings unleashed the first of the series on January 13, 2009.

Each 7" in the series is limited to just 200 physical copies – available only to residence of NYC and internet nerds. The art for this release was produced by acclaimed Californian artist Josh Keyes; and each of the 3 remaining [...]

With most bands and publicists in vacation mode last week and since after two holiday mixtapes , our well of indie Christmas carols and Hanukkah hymns was beginning to run dry, we didn't have much to work with for last week's Friday Mixtape. So we decided to scrap it and return with one this week that would be down right bangin'. Suffice to say, I think we accomplished our mission. Below you'll find a mix of this week's best new singles, covers, and remixes along with a multitude of mp3s from some talented up-and-comers. Enjoy! [...]
