Songs of the Week: 11/24/08

As a Chromeo fan, I'm always pumped when I catch wind of a new song or remix by these dudes. When I heard they were performing "Kids Don't Stand a Chance" with Vampire Weekend on mtvU's Woodie Awards earlier this month, I thought it would be interesting if nothing else. Unfortunately, they laid an egg. Wow, did it f-ing suck. I blame Vampire Weekend - it sounded like they didn't want to be overshadowed by Chromeo's awesomeness. There was a glaring lack of Chromeo's 80's-R&B-synth vibe. Later, Chromeo released a studio version of the remix which was more along the lines of what I was hoping for.




I rustled up some videos for you too:

47 Miller Gang - "If You Blood Throw it Up"


Why? - "A Sky For Shoeing Horses Under"



I'd recommend seeing these guys live if you can. . .

The Go! Team - "Ladyflash"



Below is the first of three new Radiohead videos to premiere on MySpace Music this week. As a grand prize winner in Radiohead's animated video contest, a guy named Tobias Stretch received $10,000 to turn his winning entry into this full-length video. Yeah, it's weird, but it's too interesting to turn off.

Radiohead - "Weird Fished / Arpeggi"
