Remix 5

Continuing with the approximately-weekly remix post, I bring you yet another fantastic Feist remix. Chances are that you've heard "Mushaboom", the popular single from her older album called Let It Die. If not, don't fret. I've posted it for you. Also posted is the perfect remix done by -you guessed it- The Postal Service. Can these guys do anything wrong? I don't think so. The remix is bumpin'; it sounds like it would've fit perfectly on The Postal Service's album Give Up. I hope you like it. And I'm sorry I said bumpin'.

Remix 4

Happy New Year, everyone. It's time to buckle down and get back on track with the remixes. So far we've seen some great remixes of songs by Feist, Jose Gonzalez, and Nina Simone. This week I've got one of my favorite remixes for you, a new rendition of "Do You Realize??" initially done by The Flaming Lips. This version is from The Postal Service, the popular electro-indie group that gave us fantastic songs like "Such Great Heights." This remix was initially released on the Flaming Lips album, Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell, which I highly recommend. The remix is posted for your pleasure below. Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy.

Postal Service's Sophomore Album?

Postal Service's 2003 Give Up was a huge success, but music listeners have been anxiously awaiting another album from the nifty duo.

Death Cab For Cutie front-man and Postal Service co-founder Ben Gibbard sat down with Rolling Stone yesterday to talk about his music, political views and everything in between. And yes, they asked the question everybody has been wanting to ask. "Any updates with your side-project the Postal Service? Are there plans to follow-up with your 2003 debut Give Up?" Gibbard's response was ambiguous yet hopeful. "It’s the record that never seems to want to come out. It’s also just never been a priority for either Jimmy [Tamborello, Postal Service co-founder] or myself. The anticipation of the second record has been a far bigger deal for everybody except the two of us." We can only hope.
