Phoenix - "Trying To Be Cool" (The Chainsmokers Remix)

By -


I managed to blow out another pair of headphones this weekend, this time around to The Chainsmokers remix of Daughter's "Medicine." The safety of yet another pair is called into question with their latest rehash. This time around the duo have gotten their hands on the stems of "Trying To Be Cool" from Phoenix . Ever the outspoken duo, these two artfully blend bangers with hilarious bits of bio:
"The Chainsmokers are a production/DJ duo that consist of Alex and Drew based out of NYC. The two think Khaleesi from Game of Thrones should have her own show and love love girls in Yoga pants. Aside from that, their last remix of Daughter's 'Medicine' went #1 on Hype, which would be their second remix to achieve the mark. Additionally, the two will be headlining Marquee Day Club in Las Vegas on June 7th. They would also like to point out that Drew uses the word Gay, in the old english definition of the word, meaning happy and Alex is afraid of Jello, he just doesn't get it... and the two's insane competition between the two is leading to a big war that will take place at a party of theirs soon so pick your side #TeamALEX or #TeamDREW"
Come on, I mean who writes such a delicious collection of random, rather useless facts. It works though! If you want some more here are five fun facts included in the fine print of the "Trying To Be Cool" soundcloud page.

FUN FACT(s):

1) A Pigs orgasm can last up to 30 minutes
2) Some lions mate over 50 times a day
3) We still rather be pigs, cause its quality over quantity
4) You should know Drew wears sketchers #teamALEX
5) Alex still thinks Amanda Bynes can make a comeback #TeamDREW

I cannot say I have picked sides yet in the whole TeamALEX/ TeamDREW debacle, but I say Alex makes a fair point regarding Amanda Bynes. But hey I might just be partial, I'm not afraid to admit that my friends and I snuck in countless viewings of She's the Man and What I Like About You during 7th grade. Anyways, Amanda Bynes aside, the turn on "Trying To Be Cool" is absolutely dancable.

Haiku Salut - "Glockelbar" [Video]

Derbyshire's Haiku Salut have just released an animated video for "Glockelbar." The last feature we ran on the trio praised the release of "Los Elefantes." "Glockelbar" stems from the same, tranquil vein that has come to represent Haiku Salut. They land somewhere between Message to Bears and Múm . According to the trio, their newest "chronicles the race to death using only an accordion, a glockenspiel and a glitch plug-in." The video, animated and produced by Mitsuo Toyama , portrays a sleeping boy greeted by a giraffe at his window before being taken on a sleepy ride through the cosmos. I couldn't help but be reminded of the Little Prince. Both "Los Elefantes" and "Glockenbar" are featured on the new album, Tricolore . Do yourself and the band a favor by picking it up here !

Postcards VIII

An opening disclaimer: All the creative juice has been sucked from my soul over the couple of days, and I have not felt particularly inclined to write much. I think this is owed to my exiting from the honey moon phase of my experiences in Morocco as I am realizing that the cultural differences are rather profound. Might also be owed to some nostalgic moments looking towards home while listening to my favorite childhood bands, Sum 41 and Blink 182. I have to say I have never loved these bands more than right now. With all of this said, the write-ups will be a bit shorter this week owing to my dearth of energy. The best submissions for this past week include The Underachievers, Eeleye, and An Escape Plan. The Underachievers Part of the Beast Coast movement, the Underachievers have enjoyed some recent success with "The Madhi" and their signing with the cross-coast Flying Lotus label. Part of the 17-track mixtape, Indigioism , "The Madhi" surprisingly i...

Little Daylight - "Overdose" (The Chainsmokers Remix")

Normally I am not one for remixes, but I have had to make some exceptions recently for groups like Religion and now The Chainsmokers. These guys first caught my gaze with their tremendous rehash of Jonsi's "Around Us." If you can take a song by arguably one of the most talented and creative musicians and completely turn it on its head, then I think there is something to be said there. The Chainsmokers just dropped a remix of Little Daylight's "Overdose." Their decision to hone in on "Overdose" stems from the duo hearing the song at a party, looking it up, and then asking Little Daylight for permission. The original garnered considerable buzz and I am sure the remix will follow suit. Happy Listening! Don't forget to get that free download!
