Teengirl Fantasy remixed Light Asylum

Posted by YoungCreature / at 3:23 PM / / 0 comments

Me and about 30 other people saw Teengirl Fantasy last year when they opened for Telepathe at the Empty Bottle. I can't speak for those people, but I've been a fan ever since. Teengirl Fantasy make psyched out, mind-dance music and they remix all our favorite songs. They've already remixed Pictureplane & Hunx and His Punx and now they have done an awesome rework of Light Asylum's Shallow Tears. They take the dreamy original and amp it up a little without losing that something that makes the original so special. It's not a club version by any stretch, but the remix feels lighter, more dancefloor friendly and could be a great song to end a night of dancing.

Check it out along with one of Teengirl Fantasy's originals.

Replica is a 6 song limited edition CD/digital release and features collaborations from Stereo Total's Brezel Goering and Bratmobile/Partyline's Allison Wolfe. The CD version also includes a video and a "Replica origami box" so if you like more bang for your buck, you might wanna get the physical release.

In the meantime, check out a track from Replica, download an unreleased Noisy Pig remix from Hawney Troof and visit Noisy-Pig.com for more details on shows and stuff!

Goldfrapp's "Rocket" Video

Posted by YoungCreature / at 9:11 AM / / 4 comments

The video for Goldfrapp's Rocket was released a couple of days ago and features Allison Goldfrapp blasting a person (in a duck tape mummy suit) off into space. There are also some futuristic dancing girls and lots of purple sky. Who knew a song about sending someone away on a rocket would result in a video where someone is sent away on a rocket? Deep. Either way, the video is nice to look at and it has a sense of humor, so I'm not a hater.



Rocket comes out March 8 and you can pick up Head First March 23 on Mute, but check out these sweet remixes RIGHT NOW.

Chicago loves the remix

Posted by YoungCreature / at 9:29 AM / / 5 comments

So since our blog was added to Hype Machine (and use Soundcloud) we get a lot of music sent to us. Most of it is stuff we'd never post because it's either bad or just not relevant to our (primarily) queer blog. However, since we are in Chicago I feel like we should support a couple of local artists who are doing some pretty great stuff.

The first of the songs I'm gonna highlight from Chicago area producers/djs comes from This Guy I Know. We first internet-met TGIK when he sent us over a remix he did of Bright Eyes' First Day of my Life in response to our Valentine's Day post, and we're sure glad he did. TGIK has a way of reworking songs so elegantly that they could easily be mistaken for an original version, and this Yeah Yeah Yeahs Maps remix is no exeception. Good stuff!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps (TGIK Remix) (Alt)

The next selections are from Chicago's Midnight Conspiracy. Midnight Conspiracy are producers/djs/party-throwers and bloggers for the Members Only AV blog and are getting a lot of attention for their remixes. They've only put out a couple of remixes so far, but they're both really good, so it makes sense they'd be all over the 'net. I tried to choose which one I liked best to post, but I'm just gonna give you both! Check out a dubstep remix of Esser's Headlock and a hyped up dancefloor version of Chromeo's Night By Night.

Owen takes off his shirt

Owen Pallett has released a (very slightly NSFW) video for Lewis Takes Off His Shirt from his latest album Heartland. Jason masks, witches, knives, orange Crush and some sweet animation all make appearances, so take like 5 minutes and check it out!

Also enjoy the audio version of Lewis Takes Off His Shirt and the Simon Bookish remix of Keep The Dog Quiet.

CREEP remixes Wetdog

Posted by YoungCreature / at 10:39 AM / / 0 comments

It's only been a week or so since we mentioned CREEP's remix of Baghdaddy's Hot Shit, but they are already back with another remix. This time they've dedicated their dark electronics to a rework of the all girl British band Wetdog and although there's really not much that you will recognize from the original version, it's probably a great indication of what we can expect from CREEP. Either way, I'm really liking this sound right now and I'm definitely looking forward to more from Lauren Flax and Lauren Dillard as CREEP.

Mind Reader CFCF Remix

Posted by YoungCreature / at 1:13 PM / / 0 comments

If you are a reader of music blogs...which you probably are since you're reading this one...you've probably heard some CFCF remixes. Montreal's Mike Silver (AKA CFCF) has already turned out great remixes for HEALTH, Crystal Castles, Fan Death, Sally Shapiro (plus a bunch of others!) and now you can add Kingdom's Mind Reader to the list.

The CFCF remix brings the energy down a little bit, but keeps the vocal pretty much in tact, making it sound more like a fresh r&b song than the dancefloor jam that is the original. Good stuff!

Check it out along with a cover of Fleetwood Mac's Big Love below! AND don't forget to pick up the limited edition 10" of Mind Reader on Acephale!

Lady Sovereign's a Dyke?!

Posted by YoungCreature / at 10:00 AM / / 2 comments

Big surprise.

As a cast member of UK's Celebrity Big Brother the S-O-V opened up to a fellow "celebrity" about girlfriends, ex-girlfriends and how she hasn't had a boyfriend in ages. I'm pretty sure anybody who has ever even heard of a lesbian could pick up on Sov's queerness, but it's cool she was open about it...especially in such a casual way.

I'm really glad there wasn't some sort of "I'm a Dyke" cover of URB magazine (or whatever the hipster equivalent of People would be) that we had to deal with. Duh Lady Sov's queer. Nobody's shocked...just like nobody was shocked when Lance Bass, Adam Lambert or Ellen or Rosie or any other obviously gay person "came out". Newsflash - You guys didn't have to come out because WE HAVE SEEN YOUR FACES. Did anybody believe those gay mugs were engaging in heterosexual behavior? NO.

Anyways...any uncertainty about Lady Sovereign has been officially cleared up.

Watch the video to hear it for yourself and check out some of the biggest midget in the game's tunes below!

Atlas Sound Remixed

I don't know much about Parisian duo CRACKS, but I do know they sent over a great new remix of Atlas Sound's Shelia. CRACKS are apparently working on an EP that will be "A collection of synthesized pop anthems for romantic clubbers", which sounds like a winner to me.

If you like the sound of that, jump over to their Myspace page to keep tabs on the upcoming record, and check out their Atlas Sound remix below!

Dance Yourself To Death

Posted by YoungCreature / at 8:04 AM / / 1 comments

Dance Yourself To Death are a self-described New Wave/Pop/Rock band from Toronto who've been gaining steam in the queer music scene for the last few years. They first gained attention when Elton John discovered their music and cast them as a band in a film he was producing (who knew Elton John produced films?) in 2005. Since then, they have played with Peaches, Leisha Haley's band Uh Huh Her and The Hidden Cameras, amongst others, and released a full length album.

The songs I've heard from their debut album Ready For Love are a pop-rocky collection of tunes reminiscent of bands like Metric or The Sounds with some 80's inspired synth lines and a 70's rock vibe. Factor in their queer lovesongs and good haircuts and you have a band that should be huge pretty much any day now.

Ready For Love is available from their Big Cartel store and they have a remix EP (featuring a remix from JD Samson) on the way soon!

In the meantime, check out the Y&R remix of Midnight Affair and visit their Myspace page to hear more.

Goldfrapp? Xtina?

Posted by YoungCreature / at 1:47 PM / / 2 comments

Allison Goldfrapp released the cover artwork for the new Goldfrapp album Head First on her blog yesterday. That would normally not be very newsworthy, but with all the speculation that the creepy viral videos floating around on the interwebs are teasers for her new album, this image may disprove the theory.

If you haven't seen the videos, they are dark and seemingly high budget clips featuring sexually aggressive tree licking, owls, lots of mud and sort of animal birthing something. Obviously that imagery seems to contrast with the pink and blue-Allison Goldfrapp's head in the clouds look on the album cover.

So if the videos aren't promos for Goldfrapp's Head First, who are they for? Another idea is being talked about on the net is Christina Aguilera. Everybody knows by now that she's working with some AMAZING producers (Ladytron, Sia, M.I.A., Santigold, Goldfrapp, Tricky and maybe even Le Tigre!) on her upcoming album, so maybe the dark new promos are a preview of another new image for Xtina? 

For all I know they're actually promos for Mtv or Lady Gaga or like Volkswagen, but it's fun to speculate that they're associated with something good! 

Here are the videos and a couple of older Goldfrapp and Xtina songs to get you thinking! 

Goldfrapp - Strict Machine (BlackStrobe Italian Fireflies Bootleg)

Christina Aguilera - Genie 2.0
