Two Pocket Mixes




Richard is referred to as Pocket, at least when it comes to mixes. What's also unusual, but just as great, are his mixes - as well as the originals that he picks to remix. After Antony Hegarty's latest full-length release, I Am a Bird Now, you probably thought Antony couldn't get any more techno than he already was (which was, in my mind, not at all). But then just a small amount of the My Lady Story Pocket Mix rids that idea away. I appreciate most the way that everything explodes into song along with Antony' voice when the vocals come in.

Joanna Newsom's Bridges and Balloons was fancy and beautiful. Now it is dancy...and still beautiful. Harp remixes like these are probably as unusual as remixes this good.

Joanna Newsom - Bridges and Balloons (Pocket Remix)

Antony and the Johnsons - My Lady Story (Pocket Remix)

(You) Right-click, Save Target As... these. And please, please, comment after/if you download either of these remixes. Seeing any number of outside downloads on these songs brings satisfaction, from the sharing of music (which is really the point of a music blog, isn't it?).

To non-financially support the artist, go to the site (more mixes available there).

For more information, go here.

I decided to e-mail, due to the encouragement at the bottom of the website to do so if you enjoy the mixes (which I, tellingly, did). You should do the same.
