Song
Our friends over at Buffetlibre DJs have launched Rewind 2, which is made up of Artists and DJs covering or remixing some of their favorite songs from the past. I am not usually a big fan of covers, but this project is too cool not to. There are 80+ songs, and all are available for free download. Which clips do you think are the best? Here are a couple of the songs (mp3s are all courtesy of buffetlibredjs). :
Rick Astley ~ “Never Gonna Give You Up“(Baby Diamonds Remix) A Rick Astley song in a post, how often does that happen?

Fever Ray ~ “If I Had a Heart”

What a cool song and video. Lots of droning and prayer/chant singing, but what else would you expect from Karin Dreijer Andersson‘s (1/2 of the Swedish duo The Knife) solo project? Fever Ray’s album is due out March 18th in Sweden, March 23rd in Europe, and March 24th in the US, Australia & New Zealand. This would definitely play well in tv and movies.
Bonus: “If I Had A Heart”(mp3 via big stereo)
