lykke li – little bit remixes

happy dance party friday. since the office is closed on monday, there is even more reason to dance today. on that note, not one, but TWO remixes of one of my favorite tunes, “little bit” by the lovely lykke li. the original version of this song was actually the fourth song ever posted here on dailybeatz way back in may, can you believe it? and i heard a pretty cool remix at a show a few months back and have been meaning to look around for it, and just remembered today to find it. while i have no idea if i found the remix i was looking for, i did find some cool versions by gigamesh (whose excellent radiohead remix has been posted here before) and cansei de ser sexy, more commonly known as CSS. …read more and hear the song…

yeasayer – ambling alp

well this sure was an exciting weekend. thursday night i went to see mstrkrft at the crofoot, one of my favorite venues (if not for the bouncer mentioned below). the opener was grand dad crunk who was pretty excellent. my favorite was when he dropped “little bit” by lykke li over a crazy beat. i dont know who he is, but apparently he is zozzys brother. and apparently everyone in the metro detroit area except myself knows who zozzy is. mstrkrft was rockin as well. they drank a lot on stage and took several pulls of mr. beam. i dont know what else to say other than that. the crofoot is really the best place to take pictures because the stage sort of juts out a little, and the balcony goes all the way to the back of the stage, so you can take some excellent shots where you essentially get the perspective of the performers and get the entire crowd in the shot as well. but only if you make it out alive with your pictures. …read more and hear the song…

thom yorke – hearing damage

well kids, its happened. the twilight phenomenon has officially taken over the indie music world. as im sure many of you know by now, the next movie in the twilight series, new moon, is being released later this year and along with the release of the movie is the release of the soundtrack which is strangely full of many of our favorite artists like grizzly bear, muse, sea wolf, editors, lykke li, bon iver, and yes, even thom yorke. while im pretty tired of how twilight has taken over the world, i think the fact that we get some new tracks from all of these great artists is enough even to make perpetually bitchy looking twilight star kristin stewart smile. …read more and hear the song…

monday royksopp dance party

im pretty excited about todays tune. i figured that lots of people might be reading today because many of us had a long weekend, and now we are back at work and searching for any distraction we can find. and i think this site, if not anything credible or entertaining, can at the very least be considered a distraction, no? so i figured this song might be a great distraction, and you might actually like it. the funny thing about this track is that i actually got the album a few months ago, listened to it once, really enjoyed it, and then completely forgot about it until about 2 weeks ago when i heard this song at grahams house as part of a j alexander mix and rediscovered it and boy am i glad i did. …read more and hear the song…

tapping into tilly and the wall

one month in the books kids. as of today weve brought you exactly (actually a few more than) 30 totally awesome songs and plan on bringing you at least a few more over the coming days, weeks, years, centuries and millenia (right? not milleniums?). its sort of like making a mix tape every single week, except i dont have to worry about the songs fitting together in any sort of way. except if theres a theme week which there will be very very soon. then they will all fit together in some way. and that will be cohesive and good. …read more and hear the song…

a little bit in love with lykke li

today, were going to slow things down a little bit with some of the musical stylings of the ambiguously pronouncable lykke li. i originally thought it was pronounced “likely”, but now after hearing a few others say it, im pretty sure its more like “licky lee”, but i digress. besides loving her tunes, shes also kind of smokin hot. …read more and hear the song…
