The folks over at Internet Jogging (the j is soft) had a great idea - remix Sony's excellent new "Foam City" commercial that debuts next week with a song that's much less lame. Here are our entries:
Cut Copy - Visions (from In Ghost Colours, the best album of 2K8)
Our weekend beats 'r bottomless ploppin off the top of this esophagus straight rockin this metropolis (sample condensed and revised FOC gangsta flow).
Basement party sneakers and safety reflector belt? Check. Ecto cooler disco juice box? Check. Cashmere sleeveless hoodie inspired by 4th to 9th century Arabic Geometry? Check. Hearty travel mueslix and Choose Yar Own Adventure Pirate Book for the bus ride? Check.
So its off to NYC for Simian Mobile Disco at Studio B, then bring that beat back to Bodymore for Chromeo's two man two step at sucker-free Sunday Sonar.
German electro heaters Digitalism won't release their debut album (Idealism) until later this month but they've already worked the blogorati into quite a frenzy. Could this be because their beats are tasty, or their videos fresh? You decide. We also threw in a Wham! mashup and a few extras because they're still getting radio play in Germany, because in Germany, only the hottest beats get played no matter how old your songs are, what label you're from or who your daddy is. In this musical meritocracy, Wham! still rules with a firm but gentle hand.
The first rule in roadside beat sales - put the most attractive beats on top. The ones that make you pull the car over and go, "Wow, I need this beat right now." Those are the money beats. Domestic: Andy from The Office - Drift Away (a cappella)
