What You Know In My Place - Electrosound [Coldplay/Two Door Cinema Club Mashup]

I haven't posted in quite some time...
Instead of giving some long explanation or excuse, I will simply post

This is a simple mashup of two great songs- the merging of old and new.

New Moon...

I know... I know... Just read on.

Who would ever have thought that I would be blogging about anything Twilight related, unless it was making fun of my girlfriend. Well, I will be the first to say that they did something right. If you are thinking, "they must be compensating for something"... the truth is that they probably are, but hey... we got a great soundtrack out of the deal. So check it out. This might be one of those go have your girlfriend buy the album situations, and for all of you who are lazy or still ashamed, just find me and I will give it to you. But you will have to wait for a little while to buy it in a store, but if you are ethically okay with downloading it, it leaked the other day and can be found if googled. Here are a few of the tracks off of the album. They are all excellent so I just chose some of my favorite artists to show off.

Meet Me on the Equinox - Death Cab For Cutie

Possibility - Lykke Li

Sleepy Sun

Worried Shoes (the trilogy)

The last post was about the Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack by Karen O and the Kids. I posted a few songs that peaked my interest, but I forgot to mention one gem. It is a cover of Daniel Johnston called Worried Shoes. I had first heard about this song when I was in high school, listening to Daniel Johnston (of Danielson Famile). He and Sufjan Stevens actually did a cover of this song as well. Each version of this song does not stray far from the original, but they each have fun stylistic variances. They are reinterpretations of an already good thing.

Here they are.

All is Love / Rumpus - Karen O and the Kids

So we have all been anticipating the release of Where the Wild Things Are... this is just to hold us over until the movie comes out. Although this is just a teaser or appetizer, it is one of those appetizers that you can't stop eating... enjoy. Here are two tracks from the album. Feat. Karen O (of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs)

unfortunately the new recording of Wake Up by The Arcade Fire is not on the CD. That is just about the only con.
