I apologize that I have to do this to you so soon after Christmas, but this remix is too darn catchy for its own good. Remix artist ROSTAM , out of Brooklyn New York, remixed Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" and Annie Lennox's "Walking On Broken Glass" . The two songs fit together so perfectly it almost sounds like an original. Whether or not you can appreciate the catchy qualities of this Jepsen song, you can appreciate the Lennox classic. It's a song for everyone, if you will. ROSTAM , [...]

At first glance, one might assume that Beirut and Katy Perry go together about as well as lamb and tuna fish , yet Rostam (of Vampire Weekend and Discovery fame) somehow finds a way to make them the perfect couple with his mash-up of Beirut's jubilant "Scenic World" and Perry's "Hot n Cold." Rostam has apparently been playing the track at his solo DJ shows, and a brief visit to his Soundcloud page reveals his other attempts at iconic pop blends, including a particularly spirited Carly Rae Jepson/Annie Lennox combo, though none are as seamless [...]
ROSTAM's latest random mix––this time splicing and mashing the bottomless talents of both Beirut and Katy Perry ––is strangely and perfectly captures what Rostam's music sensibility is all about.

In today's "No, I Never Wondered What That Would Sound Like" news, a member of Vampire Weekend mashed Beirut' s "Scenic World" with Katy Perry' s "Hot N Cold" . Vampy Weeks guitarist/producer Rostam Batmanglij posted "Scenic Cold" on his personal Tumblr , stating that while it's an old mix he's played at DJ shows, he'd never released it to the world before now. Good thing he finally did, because with the Apocalypse just 17 days away, we may have almost missed out on this unlikely combo. Stream or download [...]

Ya no es la primera vez que Rostam Barmanglij (Vampire Weeknd) nos sorprende con alguna mezcla .
"this is from a few years ago, never released it out into the world, but played it when people asked me to DJ at things, now you can too ; )" Vampire Weekend's multi-instrumentalist, producer, occasional solo artist , and Carlie Rae x Annie Lennox mashup artist Rostam posted this to his Tumblr via his Twitter from his Soundcloud , saying he had it completed for awhile but was getting the cover art "just right," all of which is to say: Rostam is very conversant in computers. Here is Katy's " Hot [...]

Some of you may remember the month of February, which was about eight months ago. On Valentine's Day, I released the trailer for my first short film, DOSA HUNT , and then forced Corban under duress and threat of termination of employment to post it here on Stereogum. Well, the movie is finally complete, and I'm very proud of it. It's premiering at Nitehawk Cinema in Williamsburg this weekend, and I want my online family there, so I am posting it here for your information. (You guys = fam.) Each ticket [...]

There are very few songs that do to me what this song does. Such a simple but important combination of sounds, and none could exist without their counterpart. It's primarily instrumental, with the exception of the vocals that enter in the middle. I've never heard of Rostam before, but I did a little research and found out that he is the producer and keyboardist for Vampire Weekend. I'm at the preliminary stages of the hectic chaos that is finals season, so it's nice to hear a song that not only calms the soul, but also makes me happy. [...]

So we've made it to December... no more fall, no more November. We're about to be waist deep in mittens, holiday music on repeat, coke-cola polar bears and hopefully some J-mo spiked cider. To kick off this season-o-spiked-cider, we've got a jolly mix of tunes that will keep you warm until you finally bite the bullet and buy a winter coat after you lost your last one boozin too hard last February (or maybe that's just me.) Happy Holidays KickKickSnarers! We can't wait to [...]

All the Hot New Tracks of November.

Rostam Batmanglij, of Vampire Weekend fame, will be playing his solo material at Glasslands tonight in support of Small Black's mixtape release party as the newly announced secret guest. Not to be confused with his other other project with Ra Ra Riot's Wesley Miles Discovery , Rostam has been more than occupied lately, not only did he scored a film earlier this year, he's also been sharing new solo cuts via his Tumblr. Take a listen to his most recent track "Don't Let It Get to You" Don't Let [...]

Rostam Batmanglij, the electric-avant-popist from Vampire Weekend and Discovery, has a knack for throwing some synth against a simple up-tempo drum-beat and coming out with a hook. "Don't Let It Get To You" has all the sonic tropes of a Vampire Weekend track, but where Ezra Koenig usually relies on sarcasm and self-reflexivity, Rostam inserts earnestness and emotion. It allows for all the fun of sweet-as-sugar indie-pop, without the guilt. Most of all, it's just wildly catchy.
