is that when you’ve played the original one too many times, you can put the remix on repeat instead.

1901 remixes are available for download on Phoenix’s blog.

Chances are, I’d be playing Mexican Institute of Sound.

It’s sunny outdoor fun music. Just the right blend of upbeat and offbeat.
One, because I’m spending the weekend in the city. And two, because I’m going to see Bloc Party tomorrow and A Weekend in the City is probably my favourite Bloc Party album.

Bloc Party’s Banquet actually tops my list of 25 most played songs on iTunes followed by:
2. Tonight I Have to Leave It (The Russian Futurists remix) by the Shout Out Louds
3. Pulling Our Weight by the Radio Dept.
4. Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by Daft Punk
5. I’d Rather Dance With You by Kings of Convenience
Which surprised me. There’s no Phoenix, no solo Erlend Oye, no Backstreet Boys in the mix. Does your computer know more about your musical taste than you do?
Buraka Som Sistema’s remix of Lykke Li’s Dance Dance Dance I imagine myself in an open-air nightclub on the banks of the Danube.

Thanks Mike.
Phoenix just released the video for Lisztomania and it really makes me want to see them live.

Will you come to Vancouver, Phoenix? Pretty please?
Lisztomania by Phoenix.

Did you see them on SNL? Between Seth Rogen hosting and Phoenix performing, I couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Been listening to “No One Does It Like You” by Department of Eagles over and over and over. Take a look at the video which premiered at MoMA in NYC last week. It’s, um, hauntingly beautiful (sorry).

Thanks Kyle.
And because I love Swedish pop bands, I’ll be listening to the Tough Alliance all weekend.

P.S. Something Special is my favourite song. It’s not on their MySpace page, but you can listen to it on emusic.
