Tracks Reimagined

[Robinski]

There are a lot of good songs out there. There are a lot of good artists out there too. Sometimes an artist will hear someone else's song and think to themselves "I could have a go at that", and thus a new take on an existing piece of music is born. That's where some truly amazing covers, remixes and mashups come in. Now thanks to the internet, armchair musicians can share their new ideas just as quickly as previously accomplished artists.

 

There's some amazing sh*t out there on the internet, and I just thought it'd be good to have a place where you can dump your favourite ones.

 

Not to be a low-content poster, I thought I'd start off by sharing some of my favourites:

 

Remixes:

 

Miike Snow- Animal- Fake Blood Remix

 

ACDC- Thunderstruck- Crookers Remix

 

 

Covers:

 

Sea of Treachery- Paramore's Misery Business

 

(saw this live, was totally rad)

 

Johnny Cash- Nine Inch Nails' Hurt

 

 

Mashups:

 

 

 

Jay Z's 99 Problems vs Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Chile- (Unknown) (Sounds dire from 17s-22s, then gets good)

Jay Z's 99 Problems vs Lady Gaga's Alejandro- Noy Alooshe

 

(Really sorry, I don't know the songs)

 

 

Didn't realise how much of this music focussed around Gaga and Jay Z 'til posting this. Considering I had numerous more tracks for each category for both artists, maybe I need to change my tastes up a bit.

 

Obviously I don't expect anyone to listen to all of these. I would encourage you to give the more unusual ones a go though, or ones related to artists you don't usually like. You never know, you might find something great.
