Let's try a new semi-regular feature shall we. What we're gonna do is trace the lineage of popular tunes that have been covered by other artists. Oh man, this is gonna be fun. Yay.

The first one is "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone", originally recorded by The Monkees. OK here we go.

Gimmee Gimmee

Hey - Bonjay just released their first official ep and it features a remix by Smalltown Romeo which is described on the release as "tuff dubby disco". The original is a great weirdo-dancehall tune, these guys are one of our favorite new Canadian acts.

You can buy the original along with our remix and others by Ghislain Poirier and Grahmzilla of Thunderheist on iTunes: HERE.

Also they have released their own remix of the track for free download here on XLR8R.

Anyways, Big up Alanna & Pho on the first of many more to come!

Prince Klassen Fall Mix

Our good mate Prince Klassen has done a new fall mix for Cloud Plum and as usual it's really really good. A great fit for leaves falling and cool weather - lots of spacey synths, mellow vibes and acoustic guitars. The tracklist is tagged in iTunes throughout the mix.

Kraut Jamz

The BBC documentary Krautrock - The Rebirth of Germany provides a captivating look at late 60s-70s German avant rock and the weirdos that made it. Watch it here.

If you can find it, Julian Cope's highly opinionated, out-of-print Krautrocksampler is a must read primer on the topic.

Here's a quick little folder of Kraut jammers I put together for you, because I'm nice.
