Electric

Today I decided to reference something I mentioned awhile back, but this time add a little more to it; hey, I’m stumped as to what else to talk about, so that’s what I’m going to do. I spent some days thinking about what song I should pick. I finally went with one that I can still listen to today and never get tired of.

I first talked about it in this post from the last day of 2008, which was really a few links that brought you a cornucopia of the best mashups from last year. The one I’m going to talk about is number 2 on this list. It’s a combo of Justice’s remix of MGMT’s Electric Feel and Notorious B.I.G.’s Nasty Boy. As for each group, Justice is a group that I should go ga-ga over but they’re hit and miss with me. Some of their stuff is great but sometimes I’m “meh” to it. MGMT, though, is a band that I think is crap all the time, and Justice’s remix of that tune improves it 1000 fold. Mixing it with the vocals from Biggie is pretty sweet and while I’m mainly familiar with this one song when it comes to the oeuvre of Brooklyn's ddpesh, that tune is a great one to remember from him. I also think that there need to be more blending of rap and electro.

I'll be back this upcoming weekend with another song.
