So Alphabeat seems to be kindamaybe new over here, but they’re old news in their home country of Denmark, where this single came out last summer. Doesn’t make it any less catchy though. This is that great summertime pop song that makes you feel like you’re 18 again.
Caps & Jones have long been two of my favorite DJs, no one can spin a party the way they do. They surprise me every time, and that’s what makes someone a good DJ, their ability to surprise you. Krudmart, a fine online retailer of t-shirts with dirty pictures on them, commissioned the boys to put up an entry in their monthly mix series and sure enough they delivered. The result is a 48 minute romp through rock and pop of yesteryear. You’re gonna say “Oh FUCK I love this song,” about 10 times through the course of the mix. Of course, it’s free for the masses on the Krudblog, the link to which is following this informative tracklist:
rush – spirit of radio
the fixx – one thing leads to another
cyndi lauper – she-bop
flock of seagulls – space age love song
head east – never been any reason
thin lizzy – jailbreak
kansas – carry on my wayward son
black sabbath – behind the wall of sleep
joe walsh – life’s been good to me so far
blue oyster cult – godzilla
weezer – the world has turned
sonic youth – teenage riot
dinosaur jr – freak scene
blondie – hangin on the telephone
the clash – remote control
tom petty – yer so bad
the cyrkle – red rubber ball
joe walsh – in the city
I know that we’re way beyond Lil Wayne overkill these days, (I wouldn’t be surprised if dude showed up and started rapping in my dreams). However, Static Major could use a lil more shine. He’s the other guy on Lollipop. Anyways, this is really fast and has awesome Promiscuous Girl-esque synths in the hook. I’m hoping this becomes a huge summer jam.
