SUNDAY MIXTAPE
Justice - D.A.N.C.E. (Alan Braxe remix) - Remixed by the great Braxe, who was in Australia recently. Braxe is known most for his massic 90's hit 'Music sounds better with you' which he performed under the name Stardust, but has recently been known for producing superlative remixes. This is no different.
Wale - WaleDance - Another artist to make use of the Justice hit is Wale (pronounced Wah-lay), a chicago rapper, who blasts all over the original instrumental with nary a sweat broken.
Daft Punk - Da Funk (Casino Inc Remix) - Continuing with the french disco theme today, French remixers Casino Inc take on the relatively ancient Daft Punk classic. Next up for the is Beethoven's 5th.
Mr J Medeiros - Silent Earth - Mr. J. Medeiros of the Procussions is set to release his album Of Gods and Girls July 24th. Featuring production from Omega Watts, 20Syl of Hocus Pocus and featuring Strange Fruit and Pigeon John. Check out his new track.

....Gets fired from Knocked Up
So here's the deal. Judd Apatow, the director of Knocked Up, invited some of his acting buddies along to do a series of Promo Clips for his new flick 'Knocked Up'. The amusing clips feature apatow faves such James Franco and Michael Cera getting 'fired' from the lead in Knocked Up, all set up of course. Anybody that's seen Freaks and Geeks will appreciate Franco's speech about the state of his career ('Who's Sam Raimi').

Good Cop Bad Cop
Guess what? Baby Pearl is back. Not content ripping Will Ferrell a new one as the beer willing landlord on funnyordie.com, she returns as the Bad Cop to Will's unco-operative. Think Pearl can co-opt a confession out of Ricky Bobby? You bet your sweet ass.

SUNDAY MIXTAPE
It's been three years since the canadian group set hearts pounding with 'Reunion' and 'Ageless Beauty. The orchestral swelling that abounds on the first track from their forthcoming album blends well with the band's dual vocalist's and distortion-filled backdrop.
Cloetta Paris is a new Swedish duo that reminds me a lot of last year’s sensation Sally Shapiro. “I Miss You Someone” has some of the same Italo Disco influences and similar icy vocals.
Crystal In Love” starts off sounding similar to a John Lennon song with Chao repeating “If I love you today / there are no promises / cause baby should I love you tomorrow,” until the song bridges into swirling electro as Chao pitches his voice up to a Marc Bolan falsetto and well beyond. It’s an amazing song to say the very least.
If you're anything like me, you're sick to death of this song. Almost more sickening is the dearth of Remixes it has spawned. However, this latest mix by the recently departed (from Aussie Shore's) Braxe is the greatest. Braxe sprinkled his remix mojo on Kelis's 'Bossy' last year to tremendous effect, and here again he is back on point. It just makes me feel worse that I did not see him live.

SUNDAY MIXTAPE
The National - Fake Empire
The National's Boxer is a grower, a slow-burner or whatever phrase that tells you that your'e gonna have to persevere with this one. Yeah, it sucks to hear it now, but slowly, after repeated listenings, gem's fall from the album like apples from tree's. Fake Empire is the opener, and a good way for those not familiar with Matt Berningers thraty growl to introduce themselves to the band.
Simian Mobile Disco - I believe
One time indie journeymen Simian, have parlayed an amatuer interest in upbeat electro into one of the party starters of the year. While not the nu-rave saviour it was purported to be, it deserves to be heralded under its own merits and not weighed down with 'second coming of Daft Punk' comparisons. Fun, flirtatious, yet still a little dangerous, you can get yourself dirty and still respect yourself for the rest of the working week.

SUNDAY MIXTAPE
Humanity is linked extricably, there's no denying it. So, with that in mind, the tracks on the mixtape this week are linked, six degrees of Kevin Bacon-like, one way or another.
Justice hits the boards harder than Ben Wallace on this remix of Daft Punk's Hmuan after all, beefing up the sound.

Speaking of Daft Punk, the Robot Rockers are sampled by Kanye West in his new single Stronger (sampling 'Harder, Faster, Better, Stronger'). Apparently, the duo are to appear in the Hype Williams directed video for the track.
Here is the 'alleged' cover for his new Graduation day album.
M.I.A. has been buzzing around the net for the last few months, drumming up blog boy anticipation for her new record with tracks such as 'Bird Flu' and 'Hit that'. Now we have her new single, and I'm amped. Can't wait to purchas the new lp.New soul artist Kevin Michael. This afroed young man certainly has a smooth flow, and this track is also laced by that SP dunker Lupe Fiasco. Sweet.

Knocked Up.... Superbad
Sounds like a title of a fetish porn video, but it's actually two new movies from Judd Apatow, the man behind The 40 Year Old Virgin. Knocked Up is the most similar to 'Virgin', with Grey's Anatomy's Katherine Heigl and Apatow regular Seth Rogen taking up the leads. Superbad stars Arrested Developments Michael Cera as a high school geek struggling through his senior year (think American Pie but with guys that actually look like high school kids). Can't do justice to the trailers by saying more, so here they are.

David Blaine the Time Travelling Street Magician/Demon
If you've seen Blaine in action, you know what the setup is. I know him only from the recent NBA promo's he's been doing and that stupid suspended in a box trick. These guys are hilarious though...

SUNDAY MIXTAPE
It's been a minute since Kanyeezy blessed us with his last album, and since then he's been touring with U2 and interupting MTV award presentations, Zoolander style
Anyway, he's been in the studio, and finally released his new single and video. Without further ado...
Kanye West - Cant tell me Nothin'
Lindstrom recent album 'It;s a Feedelity affair' showcased a full lp of the exquisite dance music he's been producing over the last few years. This however, is not on the album, but is worth him putting on the next
Lindstrom - Lets Practice
It's about that time of the year - the time when Pharrell Williams blows our minds with another one of his sparse, bust your shit open beats. The recipient of his minimalist magic this time is Twista, who eats up this speedy beat and still leaqves enough room for Pharell to drop a rare hot verse in between. Enjoy.

Elliott Smith, Audrey Hepburn share the same movie Spotlight
Posted May 25th 2007 2:30PM by Jessica Robertson
Filed under: Video, Song, Pop Culture
Summer is beckoning and what's a scorching, humid three-month stretch without a solid blockbuster movie? Probably about the same as said movie without a defining song.
To that end, AOL recently name-checked Elliott Smith's 'Miss Misery,' the Shins' 'New Slang' and the Pixies' 'Where Is My Mind' -- from the flicks 'Good Will Hunting' 'Garden State' and 'Fight Club,' respectively -- on their Top 77 Most Unforgettable Movie Songs.
Other notable, well, notables: Audrey Hepburn's 'Moon River' from 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'; the Jesus and Mary Chain's 'Just Like Honey' from 'Lost in Translation'; and Chuck Berry's 'Johnny B. Goode' from 'Back to the Future.'
Read the rest of the list to see which tunes made the cut, including a helluva no-brainer at No. 1.
