The Animal Show: occasionally seasonally relevant

“Man, I remember the days when those handsome and incredible intelligent and witty guys over at the Animal Show posted, like, every day.”

Yes, those were the days. Remember when all you had to do to get bombarded by an onslaught of new music was tip your laptop towards your ear after firing up the old Animal Show on your favorite web browser, Netscape Navigator? Back in those days, when John Hughes still roamed the earth, everything still had that new-president sheen. Bloomberg was looking more turtle-like than ever, and Li’l Wayne only seemed like a convict. But I still hold out hope, because sometimes that’s all we have, you know?

It’s been a while since I’ve thrown some remixes at you, so here are a few I’ve been digging recently. These go out to my boy Bish, who reinspired my love of remixes this summer by constantly pumping my veins full of new mixed, chopped, and screwed goodies courtesy of his then-employer, DJ Chachi. He’s just started a blog where he’s been taking us all to remix class, which is definitely worth a click or two.
