Most of today has been spent recovering from the Reading Festival - specifically Sunday's line up which included sets from the Editors and Nine Inch Nails. While it was great to be part of such a massive music gathering (upwards of 80,000 humans) and both bands performed fine sets I was a titch disappointed that they didn't perform my own personal favourite tracks.
Of course when artists have multiple albums out one never knows which songs will be played - so it's a gamble and of course they can't please everyone. Sometimes a band simply grows tired of playing certain songs as well - when was the last time Radiohead performed 'Creep' live?
NIN played a fifteen song set including four songs from the forthcoming album 'Hesitation Marks' - and a number of classics including 'Terrible Lie' and 'March Of The Pigs' - but they didn't do perhaps my three favourite tracks: 'Head Like A Hole', 'Closer' or 'Hurt'.
Interestingly they did all the aforementioned songs at their Lollapalooza set which you can check out in full here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRrQrow-PK0 Perhaps it was just due to a shorter set time - as NIN strangely weren't the headliners - Biffy Clyro were.
So while I pout over what NIN didn't play I thought I'd fill the void with a couple of remixes. If you haven't heard Tall Sasha's remix of 'Closer' which made my best of 2011 'Top 25 Electronic/ Club Tracks' list at number one - you can check it out m'here (it's still available as a free download): https://soundcloud.com/tall-sasha/nine-inch-nails-closer-tall
This is another interesting remix I came across today - by Portland's Benjamin Diggles aka 'Mano-Destra' - and if it's to your liking you can download a copy for free by clicking on the download arrow below... Enjoy!
Alas the Editors performed a great set as well but didn't do my personal favourite track - the title song from their album 'In This Light And On This Evening'. Here's a remix from the Netherlands' MindsEye - and if it's to your liking it's also available as a free download on Soundcloud here: https://soundcloud.com/mindseye4/editors-in-this-light-and-on
Enjoy!
