remixes
i don’t like remixes… nine times out of ten, i like the original more than the remix. the reason i bring this up is because of a certain song being played often on the radio… gwen stefani’s wind it up.
what the heck. why does she randomly break into the lonely goatherd from sound of music… why gwen, why!?! i laughed when you started singing like a cheerleader (B-A-N-A-N-A-S! bananas!) even though i didn’t like the song. but now yodeling?! i wonder if this is going to be a growing trend… no longer just remixing other pop/rock tunes, but now show tunes and classical music pieces?
other bad remixes -
My Country ‘Tis of Thee remix of God Save the Queen – stealing someone else’s national anthem, changing the words and calling it your own! terrible! (i guess this is not a true remix since the lyrics have changed, but still)
along the same lines of that… the State of Maryland’s remix of O Tannenbaum
Veronica Mars’ remix of We Used to be Friends
good remixes -
pearl jam’s remix of last kiss, though the original is quite good too.
hrm.. i’m really grasping for good remixes… anyone have any good/bad remixes they particularly love/hate?

i like Kanye’s remix of “Diamonds” that has Jay-Z in it. Pretty much any song that has a remix that includes Jay-Z will be good though..
I also like the Rabbit in the Moon remix of Sarah Mclachlan’s “Fear”
that VM opener always makes me laugh..and i agree with you..lots of remixes are bad..but occasionally i like a few (see above)

remixes are good when you’re doing aerobics
