Annie makes pop music that is satisfying for both music fans and as human beings.
This "Don't Stop" album sampler is a great way to decide whether you are going to say her new album isn't as good as the old one, or that you plan on appreciating her new album because she has evolved as a singer & song writer.
I think my favourite moment might be the song at 6:50.

I was watching this MSTRKRFT interview which features some good insights into their brand, creative process, and showcases some of the best & worst habits of alternative celebrities.
At the 4:20 mark in the video, the MSTRKRFT bros start talking about remixes, and go pretty in depth into their remixable criteria manifesto.
Do you enjoy MSTRKRFT Remixes? I've read a few HRO comments about songs or the way people look that say "I think this would be better if MSTRKRFT remixed it." Do you buy into the theory that MSTRKRFT can fix any thing?
I've never been particularly into their originals, but I think they are probably pretty socially relevant in terms of 'being a 2 man electro act that was a pioneer in learning how to capture the hearts of Generation Y clubgoers.' When it comes to modern indie music, I think they might be one of the band/producers most responsible for 'Americanizing' the current state of electro-club-dance stuff.
Whenever I hear a MSTRKRFT songs, I end up somewhere within this range of conclusions:
BAD CONCLUSION: "Why do people like MSTRKRFT so much?"
OKAY CONCLUSION: "I don't 'get' this, but it's probably really good if I knew a lot about the history of electronic music."
GOOD CONCLUSION: "This is pretty good."
How to you feel about MSTRKRFT's body of remix work. Do u wish they stuck to remixing lesser-known bands like Metric or New Young Pony Club? Or do you like this new phase where they are remixing Usher, Jesse McCartney, and who knows who else within the next 2 years? As alternative markets continue to transition into mainstream markets, MSTRKRFT could continue to be a critical intermediary between both worlds.
If some1 could remix your life, who would it be?

Is the MSTRKRFT shoe the best product ever created by a band, musician, or general alternative celebrity?
Our favourite female in the music scene, SLUTTT, is calling on all myspacers to help her out with the album art for her upcoming EP. SLUTTT writes songs that help us understand the modern female, with lyrics like "I love myself more than you could ever love me." Or "I hate my mom and dad. They don't know shit. I just wanna get fucked up, high, and that's it!" Her image is incredibly post-authentic, so send her a friend request.

By the way, SLUTTT's remix of the Teenagers' "Fuck Nicole" is definitely the best Teenagers remix that exists.
SLUTTT's EP is going to blow up, so start telling people that you like her way more than Peaches, Regina Spektor, and even Bat for Lashes. Tell all of your friends that she reminds you a lot of Annie, with a lot more edge and an image that is worth blogging about.

Here are some throwback (1+ year old) songs.
I guess 'heartbeat' is like about mortality/the desire to connect with some one.
Do we all want meaningful relationships where we are close enough to another person to feel their heartbeat?
I'd rather just buy some v-necks.
But these songs do a good job of conveying the urgency of 'love'/'humanity' or whatever.
Annie is the greatest female DJ in the world: True or False?

Annie has been a favourite of mine for a while.
I really think she's led the way as a female DJ. One day we'll look back, and say "Annie was GREAT."
Anniemal has HITS from start to finish.
