Apologies for not sharing this sooner but I was in the depths of the Mt. Baker National Forest without internet or cell coverage. I wanted to share this awesome thanksgiving treat of Mayer Hawthorne putting on a jam session with his dad and other family members in his Detroit basement. It was part of his campaign to replace Nickleback as the half time entertainment. An effort that garnered 55,000 signatures. Pretty impressive Mayer. Check it out.
Mayer Hawthorne is doing an alternate halftime show for the 55,000 people that signed the petition on change.org and for all the fans that called for it on Twitter and Facebook. Check Rollingstone.com today at HALFTIME of the Detroit Lions/Green Bay Packers Thanksgiving Day game for a special Hawthorne Halftime basement jam featuring Mayer's Dad on bass along with some friends from Detroit.

I've been backlogged on remixes for a while, so why not just unload them all at once? Starting off is Goldroom's sunny version of Niki & The Dove. Following is former NIN keyboardist Alessandro Cortini's new solo project SONOIO remixed by dance gurus Ladytron. An interesting remix by Second Date of Bon Iver's 2009 track "Babys". [...]
Mayer Hawthorne is no stranger to this blog. In fact he's on here pretty damn regularly. I freaking love this guys sound. It's incredible. I first heard him about 8-9 years ago when he was djing/producing for Athletic Mic League out of Ann Arbor, MI under the name DJ Haircut. My how far he has come. I've since seen him live a few times and will continue to every chance I get. He just gets music and it gets him. Here's a few remixes. If you want the full collection of songs I've posted from him, search for him above. [...]

After demonstrating his creativity with reworks while working closely with Chromeo on their remix EP, Mayer Hawthorne once again channels those skills to create a nice little remix of Peter Bjorn and John 's "Dig A Little Deeper" off of the Swedes' most recent album, Gimme Some . While more often than not the word "remix" may evoke thoughts of heavy bass and stabbing synths, Hawthorne looks towards the Motown sound for inspiration. Stream the sunny gem of a remix below. Peter Bjorn and John - "Dig A Little Deeper (Mayer [...]
We've got to hand it to the folks in Detroit. When fans found out that Canadian rockers Nickelback were set to perform at Ford Field during halftime of the Detroit Lions' annual Thanksgiving Day game, they were none too happy, especially given the city's rich musical history. In fact, one fan started an online petition , which received over 52,000 signatures, to have them replaced. While there are any number of more appropriate acts that deserve the spot, if the Lions wanted to go with a contemporary act that has a sound that is rooted in Motown, they could [...]

Photo by G. Mayer Hawthorne and Geoffrey Dicker Mayer Hawthorne! The blue-eyed soul singer is great! His latest album "How Do You Do" has songs that would not be out of place on a Temptations record! Love that. I met Mayer recently and he was very nice. One of his handlers was adamant about him not signing autographs in blue sharpie which I thought was a little strange, but what can you do? Apparently on ebay, blue sharpie is the pen of choice, so a lot of people [...]
The dude Mayer Hawthorne takes PB&J all the way back 1970 on this new remix for "Dig a Little Deeper". It's a jangly, well-harmonized joint that would be right at home smack in the middle of an all-request triple play on your local Oldies station.

![[Listen/Download] – Luther Vandross – "Sugar And Spice" (Hey Champ Edit)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3849752_lg.jpg)
Tweet I caught Hey Champ 's remix of ' " Luther Vandross ' " Sugar And Spice " over the weekend and have been steadily getting down on it ever since. Normally when the colder weather hits I get all sorts of emo and dive into super emotional acoustic tracks, this year things have been different. Somewhere between Mayer Hawthorne blowing our minds with " How Do You Do " and enjoying the hell [...]
Photos from the Mayer Hawthorne & Chromeo show in Boston last week...
To this date, I have seen Chromeo perform three times (four times - if you count the Junos) and they have yet to disappoint me. Chromeo's Night Falls tour stop in Toronto was hosted at the Sound Academy. The night started off with French DJ and producer, Breakbot. I got to the venue just as he was finishing up his set with his remix of Chromeo's "When The Night Falls" and his own track "Baby I'm Yours." Chromeo - When The Night Falls (Breakbot Remix) Breakbot - Baby I'm Yours (feat. Irfane) [...]
The long-running Chromeo-headed "When the Night Falls" tour rolled into House of Blues, Boston this past Tuesday. A near capacity crowd enjoyed a good three hours of ok to great music from electro party duo Chromeo, Detroit soul singer Mayer Hawthorne, and beats DJ Breakbot. We're big Mayer Hawthorne fans here a b3sci so we were stoked to catch some of his latest material (off his new How Do You Do LP) live. We certainly weren't disappointed in that department. As MH's set straddled the best [...]
For years, Detroit has been coming to Thanksgiving dinners across the country: The Lions, the city's NFL franchise, have played (often haplessly) on national television as a matter of tradition. This year, the Lions are playing very well for once, yet their fans are not all happy campers. As we reported yesterday, an online petition has emerged to protest this year's Lions Turkey Day game. Specifically, some fans are clamoring for the team to take back its offer to have Nickelback perform as the game's halftime entertainment. What, no Stevie Wonder, Bob Seger, Eminem, Aretha, Kid Rock?
