Buffetlibre DJs “Rewind” Project

I stumbled across a Moulinex remix of Come On by Pineapples (thx Markus) this afternoon, and but a few clicks later discovered some Spanish dudes called Buffetlibre DJs released an online* remix compilation called Rewind. It’s all 80s remixes by current electro and indie outfits. You can check out all the tracks individually on the site, cop the mixtape, or download the ~450mb .zip. All for free!
Always looking for familiar dancefloor fodder, I skimmed through all the tracks. And while it’s not really enough to make a review per se, a few tracks stood out to me as being pretty decent and useful. Admittedly nothing groundbreaking per se, but some potentially very useful songs:

Madonna - Get Into the Groove (Sidechains remix)

Rewind - Madonna - Into The Groove (Sidechains Remix).mp3

Belinda Carlisle - Heaven is a Place on Earth (Hidden Cat Remix)

Rewind%20-%20Belinda%20Carlisle%20-%20Heaven%20Is%20A%20Place%20On%20Earth%20(Hidden%20Cat%20Remix).mp3

there’s also a cover of one of my favorite Italo-tinged tracks, called A Flash In the Night** by Secret Service.

Lucknow Pact - A Flash in the Night

Rewind%20-%20Lucknow%20Pact%20-%20Flash%20in%20the%20night%20(Secret%20Service%20Cover).mp3

Oh and here’s the original. Kinda perfectly put together song if you ask me

*does saying “online” make me sound old?

My new hero: Man gets probation for secret apartment at mall

The leader of an artists’ cooperative has been sentenced to probation for setting up a secret apartment inside a shopping mall’s parking garage as part of a project on mall life.

Michael Townsend, 36, said he and seven other artists built the 750-square-foot apartment beginning in 2003 and lived there for up to three weeks at a time.

The artists built a cinderblock wall and nondescript utility door to keep the loft hidden from the outside world.

When I was about to post that last Bloomingfoods entry, I noticed the rainy day video I’d posted previously looked a little different. Subsequently I decided to check out Vimeo and see if there were any other new design elements going on, and it looks like they’ve done a huge overhaul! Vimeo already had one of the more pleasant web 2.0 designs going, and this new one seems leaps and bounds beyond where they were at before. They’ve taken the rounded corner interface popularized by companies like Apple, and made it personal and homey. Much more attractive than other Youtube alternatives like Veoh or Stage6.

Aside from the design being kind of beautiful, it’s a pretty well-designed service. And really the only video site I know of that only allows user-created content, which creates a really great video library of content which for the most part can’t be found anywhere else. Take a look!
