as we dive back into our regularly scheduled program after last weeks hip hop showcase, i really wanted to start out the week with a smokin hot track. fortunately, this fm attack remix of with you forever by pnau is nothing short of smokin hot. pnau is made up of peter mayes and nick littlemore. nick littlemore is also one half of empire of the sun with luke steele, who is also a member of the sleepy jackson, who was an extra in footloose starring, you guessed it, kevin bacon! of course this isnt true, but isnt that what it seems like? in a very good way of course.

while i like the original version of this song, the real key that makes this remix so memorable is fm attack, the nom du plume of vancouvers shawn ward, who really turned this already excellent pnau track into something really special. the world that fm attack creates is almost indescribable, but i think i can sum it up in three words: hard working, alpha male, jackhammer…merciless….insatiable. but seriously folks, theres no denying the ridiculous synth-infused dreamworld dance party where this remix takes you. instead of me giving more awful description, give it a listen for yourself. i dont think you will be disappointed.

pnau – with you forever (fm attack remix)

i thought id start out with this tune because its my summer song of the moment. my summer song of the moment changes 10-15 times each summer, but this is it right now. i thought something sounded vaguely familiar about empire of the sun, and then i found out that one of the members is luke steele of the sleepy jackson. in my own twisted head, id also like to fool myself into believing that this song sort of describes my life — always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it — but i know that im inside typing a music blog on one of the most beautiful days of the year, so that cant really be completely true. to be fair, i did just ride my bike almost 8 miles though ….true story.

as my friend hani described it, this song is exactly the kind of music i like on a nice summer drive. laid back, but pushing forward. another strong point is how this albums art reminds me of a low budget mid 90s medieval cartoon. without further ado, i present to you the first of many awesome songs in many genres that you will experience over the next several lifetimes……
