SummersRadio™ Rare Remix + Free Download! The Beatles - 'Tomorrow Never Knows' (David Apple Remix)
Today's post has been inspired by two things - Remembrance Day - and a headline from today's NME online: "Yoko Ono Thanks Paul McCartney For Saying She Didn't Split Up The Beatles" http://www.nme.com/news/yoko-ono/67120
The peace achieved between Ono and McCartney provides symbolic hope for peace between nations - even those who've been at odds for decades. For 42 years some humans have continued to blame Yoko (and some fools still will) but they're wrong - the truth is out now.
As such a great promoter of peace and as a fan of Yoko's music as well http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2012/02/summersradio-new-music-remixes-yoko-ono.html (and the all artists involved here) I think that this is an important acknowledgement.
As a human with a very anti-violence stance I wear the white poppies for peace at this time of year. You can learn more about them here: http://www.ppu.org.uk/whitepoppy/index.html
David Apple is a London based producer who's released a dozen remixes on Soundcloud to date: http://soundcloud.com/mrdavidapple
He released this remix of the Beatles classic 'Tomorrow Never Knows' from their 1966 album 'Revolver' in February, which cleverly incorporates keyboard elements of Radiohead's 'Everything In It's Right Place' - and other interesting bits into it.

Is world peace possible? Perhaps not today, but 'Tomorrow Never Knows'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ 500th Post Celebration! New Remix + Free Download! Oasis - 'Wonderwall' (Figure Drumstep Edit) So we continue our 500th Post Celebration (feel free to use it as an excuse to get sedated - I am!) with another new remix and free download! Josh Gard aka Figure is a bass music producer from Eerie Indiana. He's just released a favorite from his live sets - his remix of 'Wonderwall' from Oasis.
'Wonderwall' was released as the third single from Oasis' second album '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?' in 1995. It's certainly no secret that the band were a fan of the Beatles - and 'Wonderwall' was named after the 1968 film and soundtrack - which was composed by George Harrison.
You can download Figure's remix for free by visting his Soundcloud page here - where you can also check out some of his other remixes: http://soundcloud.com/figure and follow him on Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/IMFIGURE?sk=app_216924904991602#!/IMFIGURE?sk=wall
This is the 'Figure Drumstep Edit' of 'Wonderwall'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Best Of 2010! Brenda Lee - 'I'm Sorry' (Woodhead & Blenda Remix) This song beats the Jesus & Mary Chain's cover of 'Surfin' U.S.A.' as the oldest song I've posted a cover or remix of thus far! 'I'm Sorry' is Brenda Lee's signature song and it hit number one in the summer of 1960 when she was only 15! She is also very well known for her 1958 holiday classic 'Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree' which initially only sold about 5,000 copies in '58 and when re-released in '59 - but after the success of 'I'm Sorry' and it's third holiday release in 1960 it has since gone on to sell over 5 million copies! On a headline tour of the U.K. in the early sixties her opening act was none other than the (then) little known group from Liverpool posted below - the Beatles!
This remix by Woodhead and Blenda was released in April. Woodhead is a Vancouver dj and producer who is also a resident at Signal Saturdays at the Lotus. What makes this such a great remix is perhaps what an unlikely combination it seems to be. Although now that I think about it - both this and 'Eleanor Rigby' are from the 60's - and feature prominent string arrangements - and both fit together perfectly! This one came first though and while 4center goes for a monstrous sound this one is pretty chill - resulting in one of the finest and most unique remixes of the year - dubstep or otherwise - Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ Best Of 2010! Beatles - 'Eleanor Rigby' (4centers Dubstep Remix) 2010 has seen producers and remixers making dubstep remixes of songs from all genres - both from the present - and the past! The Beatles released 'Eleanor Rigby' - which featured a double string quartet arrangement by George Martin - in August of 1966 and it was one of their first recordings to move from a pop to a more experimental sound. 4centers is aka Matthew Madonna and is also part of a duo known as Love And Light who are based in Reno, Nevada. This remix surfaced on the interweb in May and it takes that experimental sound to a 'whole nutha level'! Interestingly it doesn't just sample some of the vocals - they're all intact - with some amazing effects added - and the wobbly sounds work well with the original strings... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Danielle Dax - 'Tomorrow Never Knows'
SummersRadio™ Special Request! Siouxsie & The Banshees - 'Dear Prudence' So earlier today I 'happened' to see a member of the SummersRadio™ Facebook group and he grunted something to the effect of 'your blog needs Siouxsie & The Banshees!'. I muttered something about how I like posts to be relevant and connect - in multiple ways. But then I thought... part of the inspiration of this FB group/ blog was my stint at Coast 800/1040 back in the day. For those who didn't know and/ or were still wearing diapers - it was Vancouver's first 'modern rock' station. Such a sound has also been described as 'alternative' or 'indie rock' or 'cock rock' - no, scratch that last one - I don't dig that kind of music.
Anyway I hosted the all night show appropriately titled 'The All-Night All-Request Affair' - driven by requests that people would call in. Yes, this is what people used to do before the internets and texting came along! :) So I thought how could I not accept the first blog request I've had?! So as far as relevance goes... by far the biggest music industry announcement this week was the fact that Beatles recordings were available from itunes for the first time ever! After 30 years of legal disputes between Apple Computers and Apple Corp. (owned by the Beatles) they've decided to give peace a chance! There is hope for the Middle East. So it may be unconventional, but that's how I roll - let us celebrate with one of my most favorite Beatles covers - Siouxsie & The Banshee's 'Dear Prudence' - for Donny... Enjoy!
