SummersRadio™ The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year? Eric Idle!

SummersRadio™ The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year! Eric Idle - 'Fuck Christmas' Monty Python's Eric Idle recorded this song during his 2008 'Greedy Bastard' tour. Don't get me wrong - I love Rankin/ Bass's 1964 stop motion classic - and I have nothing against vertically challenged toymakers - but having 2 months out of every year dedicated to brainwashing people into celebrating a one day holiday can be a bit much... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ M.A.N.D.Y. vs Booka Shade!

SummersRadio™ M.A.N.D.Y. vs Booka Shade - 'Donut' (James Talk Remix) This track was first released in 2008 - appearing on the Get Physical Music label's compilation called 'GPM 100' in celebration of their 100th release! It was then released as a single with remixes earlier this year - and it also appears on Booka Shade's latest album 'More!' in an edited form known as 'Donut (Interpretation)' - this is the James Talk Remix... Enjoy! 

SummersRadio™ Rare Remix! Radiohead!

SummersRadio™ Rare Remix! Radiohead - 'Street Spirit (Fade Out)' (Funkagenda Remix) The clips from this video featured in the Primal Scream video below reminded me of this amazing remix. Remixing this song could have been a complete disaster (and it has been - I'd recommend steering clear of the others that are out there) but this one's got class! Funkagenda released this as a limited 12" in 2008 - and a fan has looped the video to make it last nearly seven minutes as well... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Kaiser Chiefs! Cut Copy Remix!

SummersRadio™ Kaiser Chiefs - 'Never Miss A Beat' (Cut Copy Remix) One of my favorite Cut Copy remixes... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Cut Copy!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Cut Copy - 'Feel The Love'  The first track on their second album 'In Ghost Colours'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic! The Presets!

SummersRadio™ Classic! The Presets - 'Anywhere' (Still Going Remix) There's no official release date set yet for Sydney's The Presets new third album, but it is expected early next year - and they have announced that they will debut their new live show at the Tasmanian Music festival in February! In the meantime we can bask in the glow of greatness that is 'Anywhere' from their 'Apocalypso' release. I love the weight of the line 'So let yourself down tonight... Anywhere' and I love this remix - very Hardfloor - Enjoy!
