Stereogum/RAC Remix Album Available for Download

Just stumbled upon this one and it has some goodies. I would go into more details about which tracks I like the most, but my Internet it currently hating on streaming music and the download is just wrapping up now.

RAC, or Remix Artist Collective, is a "artist agency strictly devoted to remixing." Simple enough. What you need to know is that they've done some killer remixes (I recommend Ra Ra Riot's "Manner To Act" for starters, but I'm biased towards them) and recently teamed up with Stereogum to put together RAC Vol. 1.

I'd go on, but really you can just start streaming below. If you like it, head on over to the Stereogum post and check out some more details, like the liner notes, torrent and individual track downloads. We'll link to the zip file below. Neat artwork too.

Oh, and if you like this stuff, definitely check out more of RAC's remixes on their site (Tegan and Sara's "Back In Your Head," anyone?) And Stereogum's Memorial Day mixtape.

I Guess I Know What I'm Doing Today

In a true sign of laziness (I'm blaming it on the weather) the following remix video has inspired me to play video games for the remainder of the day. Whether or not I actually stoop to such a low level of doing-nothingness has yet to be determined, but this video of possibly my favorite game ever is tempting me for sure.

The Mega Man II remix track is taken from the 12-inch Spacer Woman from Mars, which will be released on the 25th. You can follow that link to more samples of Johan Agebjorn's album.

In Rainbows Remixed and Free for Download

Free music is great. Free music involving remixes of Radiohead's In Rainbows featuring the likes of Del the Funky Homosapien and Too $hort is wonderful. Apparently Amplive, the Oakland producer and DJ, had some legal issues originally, but everything is all puppies and lollypops now.

The Top 25 of 2007 in Just Over 5 Minutes

Alright, if you haven't noticed already, we here at More Like A Six-Foot Turkey love mash-ups and remixes. Whether it be Girl Talk, Mark Ronson or even Justice, we love this shit because it is amazingly fun and it lets us not have to worry about party mixtapes.

DJ Earworm out of San Francisco took the challenge of mashing up the Top Singles of 2007 into one track and did a fantastic job. You can find more of his other mash-ups on his site. These are some of the smoothest transfers and transitions I have heard lately and it shows that he has put some time into all his tracks.

Check it out right here.

Tiësto Remixes Tegan and Sara

Tegan and Sara's newest album The Con is one of my favorites of the year, so when I heard that a remix of "Back in Your Head" was done I became instantly interested.

Tiësto, who is apparently well-known especially in the techno/electronica world, remixed the song and it can now be heard on his MySpace.

So what do I think of it? It's alright. The original song is still better and that says a lot coming from me. I love remixes and any chance I get to embrace a new take on a favorite I do. I'm sure the word 'euro trash' gets thrown around a lot when talking about Tiësto and his music, and with one listen to this remix and you'll see why.
