Broom Broom Blog Mix

I'm having one of those weeks where I just cant do another Britney/Gaga/Riri Mix.  Next week I promise. But right now I wanted to share some Deeper Cuts I've been jamming to this morning - it's a Sunday Morning Mix.  The names wont look familiar most likely, but give them a shot, trust PopMuse, you wont be dissapointed!!!  [PS I'm not doing spelling and grammer on this blog - you have no idea what it takes for me to steal 15 minutes away to do this these days - DEAL WITH IT!]

The 2 Bears - "Take a Look Around"  Laidback house with a nice laidback male vocal.  I love the way this guys say "body".

Tensnake - "Coma Cat" Has the fingersnaps straight outta Gwen Gutherie, a nice Frankie Knuckles 90s Sound Factory vibe and a pretty little melody too. Snap.

Groove Armada - At the River [English Riviera Mix] Who doesnt love this original?  Carpenters samples always work.

Julio Bashmore - Ensnare  Deeeeeeep.  Love the vocal in the middle - so ENDUP!

Cassie - King Of Hearts WHAT? Cassie?  But that's R&B?  Well R&B is basically boom boom and this is deeper more straight house than R&B even is.  This track is FIRE.  You'll want to Vogue while listening to it. You think you know....

Clubfeet - Edge Of Extremes (Original Mix)  Like a Hot Chip B-Side - in all the right ways.

Fort Romeau - Jack Rollin' When you've been at After Hours too long the DJ will play something like this and the entire night will evolve.  Or so I remember.

Flight Facilities - Crave You  You know it, but you should know it again. Perfection.

Clubfeet - Edge of Extremes (Butcher Blades/ Arctic Paralysis Remix)  Very different from the original above, totally mello house mix.

 

 

Best Of 2011 -- Pop! Music.

I'm terrible at BEST OF lists, because in March one track may be my JAM - but in December it's so overplayed I cant bear to listen to it, (hello Superbass and Robyn's entire catalog.)

But I took a stab at 2011 tracks that I still love listening to even though they've hit triple digits in my iTunes plays. 

Some surprising ones in here for sure.  It's not my Boom Boom BEST OF (although there is a few BOOMs in here) and it's super light on ballads, because if I have learned anything from doing this blog it's that you readers DO NOT like when I drop the ballads (which is funny considering how often I listen to and love them.)

And no time to list the the reasons for inclusion - we can argue about that in the comments if we must.  I gotta chase this 2 year old around!

The order isn't important, but above is how I listen to 'em.
