I Am The Crime
A Fine Mess

Enchanting duo Magic Wands‘ EP Magic Love & Dreams is out this week (read my full review here) and while I was slightly disappointed with the low offering of new material on it, we now at least have a new remix to sink our teeth into. The equally enchanting Sean over at Battery In Your Leg has a contest where you can win the EP and a signed T-shirt from the band, so flick your wand and conjure your way over there before someone else nabs it!

I don’t claim to stay on top of what O’Spada are up to, but I do think they’re pretty good and I gotta support my fellow Swedes, right?
This time it’s a remix of the track “Ten Strikes” done by French producer DAZE, as well as a video of the original version of the song done [...]

Despite already featuring them on the site twice, I haven’t given Desire a proper introduction yet. To be honest I wasn’t even planning to but it only seems appropriate now that they make their third appearance (albeit with the help of some guest stars).
Hailing from Montreal, Canada, Desire consists of Megan, Johnny and Natty. Befitting [...]

It’s Saturday night and I’m bored out of my skull, so why not actually something somewhat productive, like, update my blog?
Despite what many fellow music bloggers may think of her, I actually like Amanda Blank. And I like YATCHT even more thanks to their latest album. So when Dave Wrangler decided to mix the two [...]

The original version of O’Spada’s “Time” that I posted a while ago has been given an extensive make-over, as the band recently held a competition for people to remix it and potentially end up on the official single that is due out this week on iTunes.
The winner has now been crowed and it’s the “Suck [...]

Why yes, it’s another remix! (i.e. a slacker post)
Bat For Lashes‘ beautiful single “Daniel” has once again gotten a make-over, this time by a lady called Tara Busch. (I’m assuming it’s not the wrestler or nude model that pops up in Google search)
Like the Josh Reichman cover I posted recently it doesn’t beat the original [...]

I’ll admit to not being very fond of Yeah Yeah Yeahs‘ latest album It’s Blitz!. Compared to their other stuff it feels vapid and empty. I was hoping they’d continue in the same vein as their Is Is EP. This remix of “Heads Will Roll” from mentioned album is however really good. Not that it [...]

Finally, the promised EP by Magic Wands is here – Magic Love & Dreams. I’ve been thirsting to hear more from this love-duo since last year when they enchanted us “Black Magic” and “Teenage Love”. Surprisingly those tracks are two of the four on this EP, which makes me feel a bit cheated. I was [...]

Yes, I know; we all heard Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance” to death by now. But this mash-up with Eurythmics’ classic hit “Sweet Dreams” by Divide & Kreate is indeed pretty sweet.
Something fun for the weekend. Enjoy!

Max Justus continues being awesome by remixing another seven tracks of 808s & Heartbreak, the not so well received 2008 album by Kanye West. Previously Justus remixed the song “Street Lights” of said album, turning it into a slick dance tune.
Now he given the same treatment to a additional seven tracks by intensifying the already present electronic patterns and adding his own [...]

Perhaps it’s supposed to be endearing but the above picture kind of freaks me out. Ever since I saw an early TV adaptation of Narnia as a kid I’ve been a bit wary of creepy stuffed lions. Thankfully, Magic Wands have some really sweet tunes to make up for bringing my childhood fears back to [...]
