How can I not share this, two of my favorite bands are now remixing each others’ songs. You’ve got Foster The People’s remix of GROUPLOVE’s “Colours” and GROUPLOVE remixing Foster The People’s “Pumped Up Kicks.” Give a listen to both below and visit www.RCRDLBL.com for some great fresh remixes.

In May I was enamored with Madeon’s remix of Deadmau5’s “Raise Your Weapon” and now the 17 year old has me in awe again. Check this video out and you’ll understand why.
I swear there seems to be more and more great music coming out of Australia and Boy & Bear are the latest such group. After putting out a rocking EP, Emperor Antarctica, and spending some time touring with Mumford & Sons, the five-piece folk group are getting set to release their first full length record, Moon Fire next month. If the more upbeat, “Feeding Line” is any indication, this could shoot right up as one of the top albums of 2011. I haven’t heard the CD but from this single and their previous EP, these fellas have a bright future ahead of themselves. Lucky for us in the States, they are playing Lollapalooza in a couple weeks (followed by two NYC shows)! Give a listen and judge for yourself. And if at first listen you start thinking it sounds a little Brandon Flowers/The Killers-ish, you’re not alone.
Back in October 2010 I posted about the pop-rock UK duo of producer TommyD and singer-songwriter Jamie Scott who together make up Graffiti6 and tonight they descend upon Las Vegas to perform at Book & Stage at Cosmopolitan. To say I’m stoked in an understatement and if you are in Vegas I highly recommend you make your way over at 10 p.m. tonight.
Do You Hear The Music?
