Another Adele Remix
Adele - Rolling in the Deep (Villa Remix) by therecordcrate
The Xx’s remix of this track was alright, I guess. But, seriously. Have you heard the Villa Remix? Blows it out of the water. Completely.

New Duck Sauce
Duck Sauce - Youre Nasty (Vocal Mix) by therecordcrate
Duck Sauce dropped a new banger recently. Here it is. A nice middle-of-the-road jam between the success of “Barbara Streisand” and “aNYway.”

Concert Review: Two Door Cinema Club 1.19.11
Recent recipients of a Certified Gold 2010 award stopped by Boston’s legendary Paradise Rock Club with tour mates Someone Still Loves You Borris Yeltzin and Tokyo Police Club. While we’d prefer not to comment on the other bands, something absolutely needs to be said about Two Door’s performance.
Two Door Cinema Club should be the band every touring band out there aspires to...

Album Review: Tennis - Cape Dory
We have literally been waiting for Tennis’ freshman debut since the peak of last summer. When they released “Marathon” and “Baltimore” this past July, their sound seemed to be the answer to whatever question we had been asking ourselves all year. To add on to this itch for new material, seeing them live only made us want this album to come out more.
Having simply...

Concert Review: Young The Giant 1.18.11
This past Tuesday, we braved snow, rain, tsunami-grade waves on Comm. Ave and more rain and headed to The Great Scott to see recent iTunes favorite Young The Giant make good on the waves they’ve been making in the music scene. What we saw and heard upon arrival can’t be described in any language. However, we’ll try our best.
At first, I thought it was the weather that made the...

Twin Shadow Gets After Oh Land
Oh Land - White Nights (Twin Shadow remix) by therecordcrate
Oh Land made such an impression on us this past year, so it’s been great to hear all of these fantastic remixes. Twin Shadow puts his magic synths to work on this incredible re-working of Oh Land’s “White Nights.” Get after it.

Earth, Wind and Fire get Remixed
Earth, Wind & Fire - September (Radio! Remix) by therecordcrate
I guess this is a good a time as ever to post this. I’ve been sitting on this since picking it up this summer. Seems like a good way to kick off the weekend. Enjoy.

Nothing like some lo-fi beach music to make you forget about the snow.

Star Slinger X The Hype Machine
As part of Hype Machine’s Music Blog Zeitgeist 2010, Star Slinger contributed a mix of their favorite songs of 2010. Taking into consideration that there’s a 4 foot snow bank preventing me from getting out of my apartment right now, I might listen to this all day. I also highly recommend the mix offered up by The Knocks. Stay safe.

OK Go Stop by Daytrotter
Recorded on lead singer Damien Kulash’s birthday, this duo of songs shows the world a different side of the band who seem to be 2 parts music and 2 parts illusion. Happy snow day!
Check it all out here.

The Hood Internet - Cards And Quarters And Green Lights (Local Natives x John Legend & Andre 3000) by hoodinternet
I could make an argument that THIS track is the DJ Earworm to my 2010. I was big into all three of these artists last year, and these songs in particular. More importantly, The Hood Internet makes a stop off in Boston on February 11 at the newly christened Brighton Music...

The Record Crate Sits Down With Hoodie Allen
This past Wednesday, Hoodie Allen stopped in at The Middle East Downstairs in Boston. Part of a mini-tour that brought him all around the northeast, this was his first ever show in the Hub. As we expected, he came correct and lived up to his mantra of making every word count. Before he took the stage with songs from his recent mixtape The Pep Rally, as well as a “world premier” of a...
