I’m so in love with the weather right now … I finished exams 4 days ago, and all I’ve been doing is roaming the streets of Kingston, checking out galleries, parks, different spots along the lake, and enjoying many friends’ company for the last time. Lots of emotions - very bizzare time. It’s also been the best time of my life. I’ve been listening to a combination of songs, new and old, I thought I might share the ear-candy. Big ups to C-Devs and Neon Hearts Club for inspiring some of the choices.
(I can’t upload music I have gotten legittly or large tracks, so I’ve thrown links to Hype Machine in for the others..)

Comment by Kamilo on 19-04-08All My Children is alright, but it drags a bit.
One More Time to Pretend (Daft Punk Vs. MGMT) is way better.
And new Islands > old Islands.
Comment by Kevin on 19-04-08i don’t really think you can compare two different songs by two different bands and say that one is way better…. maybe if you’re talking about two different remixes of the same song…. daft and lcd have 2 completely different sounds…. and i think ‘one more time to pretend’ is awful. i love both songs on their own but the mashup= barf hair grossness
Comment by Justine on 20-04-08Oh Sal! Oh, what a nice eclectic mix you presented us.
Comment by Taha on 20-04-08I also think that One More Time to Pretend is really awkwardly mixed.
Oh Taha, if I made a mix for you, you better believe it would be less eclectic, and feature only hardcore gangsta rap, and dirty south crunkness.
Comment by Sal on 20-04-08I think a comparison is reasonable when Immuzikation (the remixer) did both mashups.
