All these songs have been brought straight from my inbox! Been posting a lot of electronic and remixes lately (not that there's ANYTHING wrong with that) but I needed a very chill Sunday morning and decided to just skip all the electronic and remixes on my inbox and simply make a post that was more instrumental. [Folk] William The Contractor explains "I´m the contractor that refuses to become what the society wants me to be. I prefer to see myself as a happy man, it really doesn´t have to be more complicated than [...]
Far from being usual Dj's, Buffetlibre Dj's focus their efforts on the creation of original projects to promote new interesting bands. Their most relevant project is "Rewind", where some great new artists record 70's, 80's and 90's covers to be included in new Buffetlibre Dj's mixtapes. The DJ duo Buffetlibre from Barcelona, Spain, have recently released their latest remix of Canadian band Dragonette's Easy of their Fixin' To Thrill LP.

![[Folktronica] James Yuill – This Sweet Love](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2152453_lg.jpg)
Happy Thanksgiving! I am thinking about my family right now and how I, for the most part, will be spending some quality time with them today. I am not really the kind of person that associates songs for the "soundtrack" of my life but as I was listening to this warm and calm song by James Yuill (photo above), I could not help but mash the song with my imagination. If you watch movies... especially in TV shows, there is always this recurring scene as the show is about to end where a family is interacting over a [...]
![[Electronic] Dada Life – Let’s Get Bleeped Tonight (Mustard Pimp) + November 2009 Mix](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2151993_lg.jpg)
Our friends at Disco Punk have posted a track that is just too good to not spread. Mustard Pimp remixed the talented Djs/producers Dada Life 's "Lets Get Bleeped Tonight" and the added progression of electronic notes creates a much more melodic result. Dada Life - Lets Get Bleeped Tonight (Mustard Pimp Remix) Download audio file (Dada Life - Lets Get Bleeped Tonight (Mustard Pimp Remix).mp3) Buy Original Dada Life just recently released their November [...]
Right of the bat, I already feel guilty for blatantly comparing Owl City to Postal Service. Owl City's music can stand on its own, but comparing them to Postal Service is the first step accept them for who they really are. Owl City is an American synthpop musical project composed by Adam Young and his backing band. While Postal Service was much skewed to be experimental, Owl City is equally skewed toward more alternative/pop sounds. Owl City's third album Ocean Eyes was released on iTunes July 14, 2009. Fireflies [...]
![[Rock/Alternative] Golden Shoulders – Mountain](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2144362_lg.jpg)
Golden Shoulders is a collective of talented musicians from Nevada City, California, lead by songwriter Adam Kline. Formed in 2001, the group operates with a constantly rotating lineup with the contributors varying from performance to performance, song to song. On the band's recent full length called Get Reasonable, the music embraces the crescendoing pop opuses of the 70s, toes tapping and heads bobbing by the end of the first track. I am not sure the exact reason why I love the "Mountain" so much... they seem to be all over the place with many brakes in [...]
"I'd Rather Dance with You" is the eighth song from the album Riot on an Empty Street by Kings of Convenience. It was released as a single November 2, 2004. There is a remix to this song by the talented Bostonian Producer/DJ Redlight . What we like the most about this remix is that Redlight was able to create an electronic remix to this song without taking away the melodies and charming vocals that made the original song so great. I'd Rather Dance with Yo [...]
![[Hip Hop Hooray] CunninLynguists – Running Wild](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2141325_lg.jpg)
CunninLynguists are an emerging underground hip hop trio from Lexington, Kentucky who just released their latest album <a target="_blank" href=" Strange Journey, Vol. 2 ">Strange Journey Volume 2 on the 10th of November. Calling them just a Hip/hop group is a severe understatement. These guys have crafted a perfect formula of combining elements of soul and jazz into a hip/hop that is both lyrically intelligent and melodically rich. There are moments when we fall in love with only specific songs from albums but not with the album in its entirety, and we are glad to say [...]
![[Electronic] Keeping Balance w/ Phoenix Remixes](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2139692_lg.jpg)
The Music Ninja is all about variety and balance (nothing compared to the picture on the right tho!). Our previous post was the amazing acoustic version of Phoenix - Lisztomania but just so you know we are serious about keeping it balanced.. check out this dubstep version of Phoenix 1901 by Neon Steve and a much layered Lisztomania version by Alex Metric and another take on 1901 by Alan Wilkis to even things out. Lisztomania (Alex Metric Remix) Download audio [...]
Awesome song, amazing acoustic version. Thanks to the guy of audiomuffin.com for a great Acoustic Post. Phoenix - Lisztomania (Acoustic) Download audio file (lisz.mp3) [ Via ]
![[Fresh] Beach House – Norway](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2136049_lg.jpg)
Beach House is an American duo from Baltimore, Maryland. Their self-titled debut, Beach House, was named the 16th best album of 2006 by Pitchfork Media. The group have released two albums: 2006's " Beach House " and 2008's " Devotion ". A third, "Teen Dream", will be released in early 2010 and we received a small preview of their album with a track titled "Norway". Their music can be described as dream pop and "Norway" is a perfect example to showcase their style. Soothing sounds with relaxing melodies. Extended soft vocals to carry your mind to a higher, [...]
As you can tell, from this and my previous post, I've been listening to a lot of remixes. I recently came across Bubblegum Sci Fi and discovered they just came out with an amazing remix of The Reeling by the American electronic band Passion Pit . With their popularity rising thanks to the well recieved album, Manners , there have been targets of an enormous amount of mash-ups and remixes. Filtering through the countless remixes of their work, I've come up with [...]
![[Fresh New Mash-ups/Remixes] Eminem](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2134253_lg.jpg)
I was a big fan of Eminem when he first came out. The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP were certainly favorites but as time went by I just stopped listening to his music. After 2006 it all just sounded the same to me. Granted, I have not had the chance to fully review Relapse and Relapse 2 myself (actually getting good reviews). I thought it would be more deserving to post a couple of fresh mash-ups/remixes and work his been featured in. The White Panda - Eminem Front (Eminem // [...]
![[Upbeat] Having A Bad Day? Cheer up!](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2132358_lg.jpg)
Woke up early today, which only means I was cranky and already having a bad day. Luckily for me I found this song on my Inbox and it completely turned the day around. Hope it does the same to you! Enjoy the cover by ELO (Electric Light Orchestra)of Mr Blue Sky by The Spinto Band . The Spinto Band- Mr Blue Sky (ELO cover) Download audio file (thespintoband.mp3)
![[Looking Back] Carpark North – Human](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2128585_lg.jpg)
I stumbled across this song today as I was shuffling through my music collection and I can't believe its been so long since I had first listen to Human by Carpark North. This song was by far my favorite song for a good while and it is a shame that there has not been any new releases from this Danish band. The songs marching rhythms and engaging riffs really make you want to tear some shit up. Martin De Thurah, director of the music video did an excellent job capturing the emotions conveyed in the song. [...]
![[Fresh Electro/Pop] Poppin’ with Penguin Prison](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2127913_lg.jpg)
Neon Gold records the same people that brought you Passion Pit, Marina & the Diamonds, Ellie Goulding and The Sound of Arrows have just recently signed the awfully named project by Crhis Glover called Penguin Prison. But dont let the name fool you because his electropop tunes are bound to consume you. Neon Gold revieled one of Penguin songs "Animal Animal" back in September and are now giving us another sneak peek at his 80's style pop driven single "A Funny Thing" before it drops on November 23rd. Penguin [...]
![[Fresh] Cold War Kids - Audience of One](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2126592_lg.jpg)
Cold War Kids are back on the map and plan to be releasing a four song EP this January entitled Behave Yourself, including the song Audience of One. Cold War Kids are an American indie rock band from Whittier, California . Here are a couple of our favorite singles from them that date back to 2006 from their EP's We Used to Vacation and Up in Rags and later released in their album Robbers & Cowards [...]

It is a fantastic feeling. The feeling of utter amazement, almost like what a kid feels as he visits a theme park for the first time. A music rush for this music junkie. Thanks to my stationary job I can afford to listen to music almost every day and every once in a while there is a song/artist that just hits closer to home than other. Browsing around Sheena Beaston's blog I came across the beautiful singer/songwriter Anya Marina from San Diego, California. A calm smoky voice softly covering the warm melodies of her acoustic [...]
