Bloc Party And Peaches Walk Into A Bar...

Now, we're the last ones to call ourselves fans of Peaches, but we heard her Bloc Party Remix and have just slightly changed are minds. Click here to hear Bloc Party feat. Peaches - “Helicopter” (Weird Science remix)

Bloc Party's, "Silent Alarm Remixed Album", expertly shows off the talents Bloc Party, and some of their favorite hip-rock friends, including Death From Above 1979 (one of our faves) to Mogwai and Ladytron. The best part about this album is that these remixes are true remixes. Artists use the original songs off of Bloc Party's debut album, as a framework, only. And then, mutate it into a delicious aural delight that is almost entirely different then the original. Unlike everyday remixes where songs are just given a faster beat or electronic elements.

Video: Hit The Right Spot - With The Hourly Radio

The Hourly Radio almost sounds like your typical pop band, and then not at all. They remind us of Suede, but then this Dallas foursome kicks in some Cure and a dash of U2 and we're back at square one. What we can say with certainty is the video posted here for their single, "Fear Of Standing Upright" is a stellar example of what you can expect from the band - moody and slightly gentle rock. What's really outstanding about this Dallas quartet is their ability to fuse elements together: bass, drums, guitars and vocals are never in competition, but seamlessly working together. Lead singer Aaron Closson has a gentle voice that falls and accompanies the musical shifts beautifully. The bass line, coming from Tim Jansen, is also insistent without overwhelming any of the other musical action. It's a perfect mix.
