Little Rock’s finest, the one and only American Princes, are back at the wheel again in a couple of weeks. Their new release, Other People drops on Yep Roc on April 15th. We’re looking forward to hearing this one. This single and video are good indications that it’s another strong release from one of the most promising young American rock bands out there.
But Wait! There’s A Contest! And tour dates! — More Info After The Jump –
This is straight from Waste unedited — remixers grab your Abletons and get ready.
To celebrate this week’s single release (we still have those in England) Radiohead have broken up the song ‘Nude’ into pieces for you to remix.
For those of you who enjoy this sort of thing, you can buy the separate components or ’stems’ (bass, voice, guitar, strings/FX and drums) and remix your own version of the song. You can do this by adding your own beats and instrumentation or just remixing the original parts. More information here: http://www.radioheadremix.com/information/
You can buy the stems here: http://www.radioheadremix.com/buy/
You can upload your finished mixes here http://www.radioheadremix.com and be judged and even voted on by ‘the public’.
You can also create a widget allowing votes from your own website, Facebook or MySpace page to be sent through too.
Hope you enjoy it
For those of you who aren’t that way inclined, Nude is also available in its entirety on CD and 7 inch (UK release) at the usual retail outlets.
The cool kids over at Pornophony have started what is being called the (wait for it…) Indie ‘Beat’ Off. In short, you have 7 days to take their indie rock track and create a remix out of what they give you. Pinch it, poke it, twist it, curl it, fade it, braid it, extend it or suspend it — the level of glamour is completely up to you.
Every Monday, a new track will be posted for mixing. After you remix it, submit it to Pornophony, at which point it will be judged by none other than yours truly, along with Stereobotic and Rock Sellout. This contest is open to anyone who wants to give it a shot, so have some fun for a change! For a complete list of rules, click here to check it out, and good luck!
