remix monday : new mixes of brandon flowers, daft punk

We will begin this week where we left off... with pretty little bangable Brandon Flowers. This remix of his new single (the best song on his album) Only The Young, is the 2nd remix I've received. The first one I put in your eardrums about a month ago. This one is much more dance-friendly (and a lot more gay). You may enjoy it. It does have this terribly annoying circuit-esque beat that makes me want to kill kittens, but the quality of the base track overrides that fact... mostly.

Only The Young (Roger Sanchez remix) - Brandon Flowers

Speaking of gay... What's French, always late (overdue with a follow up record), and makes you dance with your hands in the air all over?

Yes, that's right, Daft Punk. Here's a new remix of an old track off Discovery, called Too Long. It's great background music from one of the greatest influences in dance history. Suck on it in your cubicle...

Enjoy and stay tuned for lots of posts this week! It's SHIFT: Eyes Wide Drunk week... the countdown has BEGUN!

three track thursdays - new Brandon Flowers

Here are three tracks from Brandon Flowers', frontman of The Killers, debut album Flamingo. I'll review the whole album later in the week/weekend. In the meantime, here are some highlights:

Only The Young - Brandon Flowers

Jilted Lovers & Broken Hearts - Brandon Flowers

Yeah yeah yeah... I know I have constantly criticized the direction The Killers have gone, musically. That aside, I still have a great deal of affection for Mr. Brandon Flowers. The 29-year-old's solo effort, Flamingo, is due out September 14th. I think it will inevitably be a hit... but whether or not I like it... who knows. In the meantime, I do dig the first video released for the accompanying single, Crossfire. Maybe it's the Kill Bill-influenced tongue-in-cheek tone (and the fact that I have unhealthy attractions toward Charlize Theron)... maybe I am a sucker for a whiney bitch with a cute face... or I just want Flowers to be successful. I don't really care. As with most things, I just know it's not half-bad, if not good! So, enjoy!

Also (and probably even better than Crossfire) below is a remix of what is to be track 2 of the album, Only the Young ... and this is what I would call damn-good (it's a very respectable rating system, I know). Soak up the solo...
