Wicked Cobra Starship Hot Mess Remix

Hey Everyone!

The remix is anything BUT a Hot Mess... its amazing! I stumbled across the Fueled by Ramen blog via twitter and I have to say, this Kids of 88' remix is just ridiculous in the best way possible. They really took the track and reinvented it... gave it an entirely new, and equally awesome vibe. Its kind of ghetto old school rock with a Spanish flavor totally fitting of the band (if you know Cobra, you know Gabe is proud of his Uruguay heritage).

I highly recommend giving it a listen and maybe even adding it to your own Itunes collection! Check it out below

What do you think? Amazing right? Congrats Kids Of 88' on this fantastic mix!

Exam Dance Break Day 11

Hey Everyone!

So I meant to post this earlier, but its been a long day! Lets just say its rather late in the evening now, and I'm still sitting at the computer with a paper in front of me... seven pages in, three pages to go! I can feel the finish line approaching and I'm just about ready to leap those last few meters, hoping to land on my feet. This paper, its for my Culture of Celebrity class. The premise is to take a well known celebrity and analyze a wide variety of media created representations of this person. My selection? Fall Out Boy bassist, Pete Wentz. I know, I know, you're asking "Jess- why would you pick this guy out of every celebrity out there?" right? My explanation: I have to analyze every text available. Aka if I chose someone like Johnny Depp, I'd have to watch a couple hundred movies and television shows. Pete... a handful of music videos, a few CDs and some tabloids. Not too bad, nothing too intensive, gives me lots of time to do it well... in theory anyways haha. So as a result, I've been listening to a bunch of FOB music, trying to dissect it and talk about how it relates back the the media construction of Pete himself. Now, thanks to this, I WAS going to give you another FOB song even though I left you with one on Saturday... but I decided against this. Instead, I'm going to leave you with label mates, The Cab. I really enjoy this song, I can see it being great in clubs. Hope you like it, here you go! Enjoy!

Rock On!
