The Black Ghosts, The Black Kids and some [remix]es

Posted by charmedquark | July 26th, 2008

I don’t know if it’s just me but I feel that the musical side of this blog is tending toward electro-indie.
Unfortunately this entry isn’t an exception. =D

Everyone’s talking about the Black Kids – Rolling stones named them as a band to watch in 2008, their ads are all up over last.fm etc.
Haven’t found myself a fan of this indie pop/rock outfit, just didn’t hit the spot with me. However I found an awesome remix of ‘I’m not gonna teach your Boyfriend how to dance with you’ that really made an impression on me. You decide whether the original’s better than the remix.

Get the Remix here (at the bottom of the post)
Watch the original -

Now for the Black Ghosts – great stuff, just brilliant. A joint project between past members of Simian and The Wiseguys, they already have a fair bit of experience behind them. The duo aims to be Gothic;

Gothic (adj). (often initial capital letter) noting or pertaining to a style of literature characterized by a gloomy setting, grotesque, mysterious, or violent events, and an atmosphere of degeneration and decay

This is as opposed to gothic as a genre of music. This has a lot to do with the childhood of both members of the duo. So check out the vid of Any Way You Choose to Give it ->

If you’re itching for some remixes though, check out Missingtoof’s collection.
