Things have been stacking up in our inbox once again, which means it's time for another Friday Mixed Bag. We totally wish we had more time to spend writing up full posts for each, but either way they are still worth sharing.
First up in the bag is a track by the Polyamorous Affair which we totally stole from our good buddy over at Bona Fide Darling. He had some nice things to say about it, but basically we think they have one hell of a band name. Next is a remix by another one of our friend Zicole's favorite acts (that makes 2 weeks in a row). This time it's Patrick Wolf getting the remix treatment by the upandcoming Buffet Libre, whom I'm sure we'll hear more from in the near future. When the next track was sent to me, it was described as the lovechild of Justice, Prince, and the Jackson 5, which sounded interesting enough even if those didn't happen to be SubEx contributor Morrow's 3 favorite bands. The band is called O'Spada, and while that description wasn't entirely accurate, it wasn't way off base either. The next and IMHO best song in the bag is the StereoHeros remix of the French band Pony Pony Run Run. It's a little NES-y and slightly dub-ish. Leave it to the French to remain lightyears ahead of us in producing killer electro tracks. The next track is from a free EP from the band Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. The singer sounds like the dude from IMA Robot [which is because as one astute commenter pointed out, they are indeed the same person], but this band is a much more summery barefoot affair. You can pick up the rest of the EP here. Lastly is a fun little mashup from SubEx fav IAMXL. He throws together Gossip with 1977 favourite "Best of My Love" by the Emotions. It really shows off the old time soulfulness of Beth Ditto's voice. Whip these out at your dance parties this weekend.
