I just figured something out accidentally

Kylie Minogue - Falling
M. Mayer - Falling Hands

Unless it's supposed to be obvious, but - unlike "Slow" - I've never seen it mentioned anywhere. It's a gorgeous remix, qua remix. XD The original is this floaty, "sophisticated" 90s Eurohouse confection, and Mayer samples Kylie's whisper-vocals into a cloud of silver confetti. (Does anyone have the Pet Shop Boys version? Though I should probably go ask on petshopmusic or something. EDIT -- got it, thanks to cynic_in_charge. It's... very Tommy february6. XD)

In somewhat related lulz,

James Figurine - 55566688833
James Figurine - 55566688833 (Superpitcher & Tobias Thomas Mix)

I found the second track randomly on Beatport and was all, didn't I blog this song a year ago? Isn't it a Postal Service/Dntel side project thingy re: how to spell "LOVE" on a cellular phone keypad? Do die Menschen von Kompakt also read Music For Robots, or do they just have wussy taste in indiepop? (Answers: Y, Y, probably Y, Y)

This is considerably less recognizable as a remix than the Mayer track, which only goes to show - the song gets cut up into "organic" samples and reassembled into something that sounds rather like Four Tet, sans vocals.

I haven't been posting because I've been writing and going to house parties thrown by strangers ahaha. Album reviews to come tonight, though.

...Wait

How are Nathan Fake and James Holden playing Piknic Electronik at Parc Jean-Drapeau on September 9?

Isn't the second day of Osheaga at Parc Jean-Drapeau on September 9?

...

......

>_>

On the bright side Simon B. is putting together an Osheaga group on Facebook so... I no longer have to, ahaha.

EDIT SO I DON'T FORGET -- Rufus Wainwright, why are you playing Salle Wilfred-Pelletier? orz Why am I spending these insane amounts of money on live music? These are rhetorical questions. Tickets go on sale this Thursday, June 21 at noon (and not a moment later, given this is a Rufus Wainwright concert in Montreal _o_).
