SummersRadio™ Rare Mashup + Free Download! Blondie vs. Philip Glass - 'Heart Of Glass' (Daft Beatles Mashup)/ Blondie - '11:59'
First of all kudos to another music blog - The Omelette Chronicles http://theomelettechronicles.wordpress.com/ for exposing me to this wonder today! This mashup was created last fall but for the most part it's remained rather underground thus far.
Jonas C aka Daft Beatles is a mashup artist/ dj from London. He posted his first mashup online a year ago - of Daft Punk vs The Beatles 'Something About Us Comes Together' - hence his moniker. In just the last twelve months he's since posted 48 tracks on his Soundcloud page (all mashups) which you can check out here: http://soundcloud.com/daft-beatles
This version of 'Heart Of Glass' lifts the vocal from Blondie's 1979 hit of the same name - which floats in a most beautiful and haunting manner over Philip Glass's (instrumental) track 'Violin Concerto II' - and the results are quite stunning.
Blondie is one of my all time favourite bands - and I'm very happy to say that Debbie Harry is still alive and well - but it sounds like she's singing from the heavens here. Someday when she is no more I can picture myself listening to this powerful track and weeping. Despite being an upbeat worldwide disco smash, as Jonas C says himself '
I always thought they were bleak lyrics... "Soon found out I was losing my mind...'.
Tomorrow (July 1st) is actually Harry's 67th birthday and she still looks amazing (as always) - Happy Birthday Deborah! ♥♥♥
If this mashup is to your liking it's available as a free download simply by clicking on the icon below... Enjoy!
Bonus Track! Here's a Blondie original that's always had an eerie feel to it for me - especially if you're listening to it at the right time of the night. Like 'Heart Of Glass', '11:59' is a track from Blondie's third album 'Parallel Lines' - in fact it was the b-side of 'Heart Of Glass' in North America. The lyrics have quite an urgency to them - you're left wondering if she'll survive until the next day... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Best Of 2010! Arcade Fire Remix + Free Download! Arcade Fire - 'Sprawl II' (Dirty McKenzie Remix) I doubt Arcade Fire will be hard to find on year lists in 2010 - however, this post is the full package! Hopefully someday 'Sprawl II' will be officially released as a proper single from their third studio album 'The Suburbs' - with remixes! In the meantime many unofficial remixes have been made since I first posted this track in the summer (via my FB group) - but I like this remix because it's subtle - they discofy it just a bit and take it closer into Blondie territory. I've mentioned this before but someone totally needs to do a full on 'Heart Of Glass' style remix and/ or mashup of this - make it so! (but credit me for the idea please) :) In addition to this cool remix the song is accompanied by a fan vacation video that shows Beirut in a way that you never see on tv - AND if this remix is to your liking you can also get a free download of it here courtesy of Dirty McKenzie: http://bass-united.com/ Enjoy!
