0299 - The Long Return of Free Friday

I decided to step off the soapbox, even though I will give you a quick breakdown of what I was going to say.  Anyone who reads this blog consistantly knows that lyrics make or break a song for me.  There is a top 40 song Cool Kids by Echosmith, and the chorus just makes me angry.  For those who haven't heard it (Listen here).  The chorus of this song is "I wish that I could be like the cool kids, 'Cause all the cool kids they seem to fit in"..... Ok, I know it is just a song but this is sending the entirely wrong message to kids.  You don't have to be cool to fit in, be yourself and you will fit in.  I have a group of some of the best friends in the world, and I'm strange/awkward/clumsy and the last thing from a so called "cool kid".  I wouldn't want to be one because they always seemed so......uniform.  I know most of you might feel the same way and I just wanted to get that off my chest.


FREE FRIDAY!  I HAVE AN OVERFLOW OF FREE MUSIC THAT NEEDS TO GO RIGHT NOW! COME ON DOWN!
Seriously, I have so many free songs that have been building up.  So today will be free tracks and next week will be a free week!

First up is a sweet triple threat remix of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's track Maps by Tommie Sunshine, CID, and Modern Machines.  This track is hot.  I am not really sure thought because the audio samples seem to be from Adventure Club's track Wait, but they may just be recycled.  The song is hot though, beautiful, big, melodic, just a really great rendition.  Check out this killer remix and pick up the free download!

Even though I am not a huge fan of it, the new released track from Knife Party's upcoming album has been getting so much attention.  The track is a little too much for me, the chorus seems a bit simple, but overall its not a bad song.  Pick up the free download and let me know if you like it or not!

072 - Too Much Free Stuff

I have too many songs to share with you all that have free downloads, and some of them are on an expiration so I figured I would make Tuesday a free day this week as well with multiple songs for you all.  Today I have one stream song and I free download song all my loyal listeners.
The first is a remix of the new song from Icona Pop.  True, I didn't love their first bit hit "I Love It".  It seemed very thrown together at the last minute with lyrics repeated way too frequently, however I did find more than a few remixes of that song.  That is why I was very excited to find this remix of their stuff, they have a good framework of a song but it seems that someone else needs to get their hands on it to complete it.  That is exactly what CID does, takes the decent song and turns it into a huge club anthem.
Next up is a remix of the new one from Duke Dumont, starting out as a really catchy house tune it gets a nice indie/electro/pop makeover from Dave Edwards.  Seriously this song blew me out of the water and I downloaded it nearly immediately.  It is catchy, nice and light, pretty damn funky, and gets stuck in your head really easily.  Enjoy these and I will see you for banger wednesday tomorrow! The download button is the bottom left of the player!
