first post of 2008 - a short and sweet remix … part of my ongoing crusade to make people nod their heads to bobby mcferrin. mwa ha ha . . .

Bollywood smoothed out on the R&B tip with a pop feel… appeal… to it.

Indian superstars Aishwarya Rai and Ajay Devgan remixed to “She’s Dope” by BellBivDeVoe. First smashed together by Pierre Bennu in December 06. Click the photo or click here to get to the video.

this is a remix that didn’t make it to the last two ‘love’ mixtapes… it’s a single-song taste to hold you till the next full mix comes. nat king cole meets prince, meets the man we all know and love… (i think his name is) kwame.

enjoy!

remixed love songs for the weird of heart. 30min.

cast of characters (in no particular order): jolie fuego, king britt, skunk anansie, bran nu classix, big mama thornton, michael jackson, cousin pete, mrk drkfthr, eddie murphy, cyndi lauper.

You can do it. Just sneak up behind it while it’s still on and choke the plug until the screen goes black.

This is dedicated to those who still believe any news they see followed by a commercial. This is also dedicated to the writers on strike. Pay those artists what they want. Finally, it’s dedicated to the addiction that many of us suffer from too much TV. Hopefully this mix will help get you through withdrawal.

drum & bass-ey remixes meets southern hip hop, meets british ambient, meets a whole bunch of other stuff i have a hard time categorizing. load it up, put it in your ears, and go outside & play. 25 minutes.

If Paul Robeson became a rasta after he was forced to leave the US it would have probably sounded like this.
