It's the end of the baseball season and things are tightening up in division races. It makes sense because my Colorado Rockies are starting to play as if they were in contention for a wild card berth. Mathematically, it's still a possibility, and the Rockies are taking a note out of one of my favorite 802s movies, "Goonies never die." After being left for dead, the team has resurrected by an absurd 75 pitch count for starters, a piggy back rotation that involves a mess of middle relief pitchers and a couple of serviceable closers. The young [...]
BON IVER has to be one of my favourite acts ever - Justin Vernon 's calm and comforting vocals are the perfect soundtrack to end your day matched with a beautiful sunset and a warm tea, you'd be in a place pretty darn close to heaven. BON IVER 's latest self titled album is one to be played when you're in the mood to just snuggle right into your doona. It was well worth waiting for my old high school desktop to slowly download the album from iTunes [...]

![Bon Iver :: "Beth/Rest" [Work Drugs remix]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4460799_lg.jpg)
In what has to be one of the best remixes of 2012, long-time favorite Work Drugs turn their silky synthesizers on the vocal stems of Justin Vernon 's "Beth/Rest." While the soul of "Beth/Rest" still lies in Vernon's mind - it was, after all, what he called "the most important song" on his sophomore LP - it has been artfully redone, a back beat and a stilted vocal loop taking Vernon's Karate Kid -era throwback and turning the car downtown and toward the lights of the city. The final movement is all [...]
It's smooth, happy goodness on top of the already 802s-flavored ballad from Bon Iver's latest. All thanks to the Philadelphia-based group, Work Drugs . Like any standalone band that also produces remixes, Work Drugs manages to add it's own seasoning to the rich Peter Gabriel reminiscent track off Bon Iver, "Beth/Rest." The original took a while to grow on me, but this remix isn't messing around. After the second listen, I was hooked. Enjoy.
So as some of you might already know, Bon Iver aka Justin Vernon and Co. are currently conducting a remix contest for their sophomore effort Bon Iver Bon Iver. Here's a remix coming via Work Drugs and Secretly Canadian. Ya'll have until August 29th to submit remixes, as the winners will be announced sometime in mid-September. Prizes include a spot on the remix album and 1000 bones. Chill. Bon Iver - Beth / Rest (Work Drugs Remix) posted by @Clarkbs

Work Drugs are one of those bands that wholly encapsulate the summer months, with every song they release evoking the fun beach vibes and warm sounds of the sunny season. It was a surprise, then, to see that the Philadelphia outfit had remixed Bon Iver 's Peter Gabriel-esque album closer "Beth/Rest" for the band's currently ongoing remix competition . The bigger surprise, though, is how well Work Drugs have implemented their style into the song, speeding up the original prodceedings and adding layers of soft-yet-fun synths, energetic percussion and an overall sense of enjoyment [...]
Algo bueno tenía que salir del concurso de remix de Bon Iver !

Hace aproximadamente dos semanas, Bon Iver puso en marcha un concurso de remezclas de su mas reciente material de larga duracion, del que en su momento les vine a dejar el trabajo que hizo Teen Daze con uno de los cortes que compone ese aclamado material homonimo, asi que desde entonces la verdad no me habia topado con alguna otra remezcla que me resultara interesante para venir a compartirselas hasta el dia de hoy, ya que Work Drugs acaba de tomar su soundcloud para dar a conocer su remix de "Beth / Rest", [...]

Work Drugs are an immensely fun Philadelphia band who are catching attention left and right by crafting insidiously catchy pop tracks masquerading as dance-inflected indie weirdness. Their hallmark so far has been songs that just seem quirky and fun at first but then, suddenly, will have 50 plays in your iTunes and you singing along with every word of the lead singer's thin, laid back delivery. That description and their penchant for synths and booming drums makes their choice of "Beth/Rest," when picking a Bon Iver track to remix as part of an ongoing competition , an [...]
