Santa Clause Is Coming To Town

No, the title ain’t wrong, Santa Clause is coming for real to Bangkok this March bringing fine pieces of music for BKKers.

       Starting with Placebo who just awarded the Best Alternative from MTV European Music. They’re having a tour promoting their 6th album ‘Battle for the Sun’ on March 20th. Too bad I’m gonna miss their gig since I’ll be off Bangkok during that weekend!
 ♫  Placebo – Battle for the Sun

       Then continue with one of the best folk-pop artists, Kings of Convenience. Erland and Eirik will be here on March 23th. At first I thought I’ll miss them because the tickets were sold out in just a couple of days! Luckily the organizer decided to change the venue to serve the huge number of fans and I was fast enough to grab the ticket this time!
 ♫  Kings of Convenience – Rule My World

       And the last gig, Frankmusik, a British electro-pop artist will join a bunch of DJs here spinning on March 27th. You better get yourself exercised ready for the party because this is gonna be a real murder on the dancefloor!

A Remix Gold Rush

   By the time I post this blog, I just realize that statiscally in one day I listen to electro/house beat music the most especially the remix tune. It has been just recent years since I started listening deeply to this genre and I have to say it really catches my interest. Listening to remix shares something in common with cover; the special connection the artists have with the original, and that makes it special track.
   Not like 4-5 years ago when Post Punk and Indie Rock music were all around and most youngsters wanna play guitar and be in the bands like the Libertines, the Strokes, or Kings of Leon, now everyone’s talking about David Guetta, Justice, Hot Chip and how cool these DJs/Electro groups are.
   Here’s some nice remixes in my playlist which I’m pretty sure these stuffs are beginner-friendly that could better your attitude to remix genre. Try them and leave the comment which one you like the most!
