top february tracks

hey y’all, first off let me thank our friend The Music Ninja for his help in cleaning up and organizing and coolifying our sidebar. My mind is much more at ease now that the chaos has subsided. Now, I thought it would be fun each month to just recap the top posts from the previous month. A “best of” of sorts, in case you haven’t been following along, so you can see what everyone else enjoyed so much the month before. I was able to determine this using a series of top-secret complicated algorithms that you probably wouldn’t understand anyway. You can listen to each track below or click to view the original post. Here’s the list!

1. Coeur de Pirate – Comme Des Enfants (Le Matos Andy Carmichael Remix)

2. Outkast – Spottieottiedopaliscious

3. Miike Snow – Billie Holiday

4. Massive Attack – Paradise Circus (Gui Boratto Remix)

5. Yeasayer – Love Me Girl

Pretty solid list. Maybe next month I can up the numbers a little for the past month’s top posts, since we now post even more stellar tunes for your listening pleasure. Here’s to a great March (even though it is almost halfway over).

brazils gui boratto released one of my favorite tracks of 2009, the ebbing and flowing “no turning back”. he does a great job of managing listener expectations. things always seem to start out a bit slower, so that you know right away not to expect an 8 minute banger. but then they unexpectedly build up, giving you that nice surprise in the middle that you didnt know you were hoping for, and then just as suddenly he backs off again.

the same is true of this remix of “paradise circus” off the latest massive attack album “heligoland”. althuogh it doesnt turn into as much of a dancer as some other boratto tracks, it definitely has its fair share of welcome highs and lows and becomes really unexpectedly beautiful in the last few minutes, all while maintaining the eerie integrity of the original song. i think mr boratto needs to come to the states some time soon.
