Kay Dahlberg Dance Party

A friend sent me this site but neither Janet, Kay, nor Merriam are on here; and everybody knows Janet has some brass balls.

I am no authority on remixes, but I have recently been obsessed with a remix artist/group called R.A.C., or the Remix Artist Collective.  It is comprised of a couple dudes from all over who “reinterpret indie-rock songs by infusing them with danceable beats and dreamy instrumentation.”  I first heard of Lady Gaga when some blog put up a remix of “Just Dance,” which is better than the original.   I have been recently obsessed with their remix of Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody.” Besides being a great remix, I also like it because I have heard the original too many times.  Head over to their website to see what they’ve done recently, Hype Machine to hear them, Brooklyn Vegan to get some older songs, or Stereogum to check out an album they made for the blog.

Glasvegas

Adam actually turned me on to this band. I don’t know why it took me so long to realize that this Scottish band‘s name was a pun on Las Vegas, but it happened. The lead singer sings with a very pronounced accent (ie. the proclaimers) and the drummer is a chick (Kid Rock’s Twisted Trucker Band) that stands up to drum. This usually means that I will not like the band, but they are actually really good. If you liked the Kings of Leon’s last record, then you will probably like this. Check them out on their myspace or on the Hype.

What the dub?

First off I found a replacement video for “Don’t Stop Believing” as performed on “Glee,” so feel free to shoot back down to it and check it out.

Secondly, while we’re on the topic of lip dubbed music videos, here’s one that the people at College Humor, Busted Tees, and Vimeo did to Harvey Danger’s “Flagpole Sitta.” It’s pretty cool.
