Here are a handful of funky remixes we've been digging lately. Ch-ch-check em out! PS. Sorry about the relative lack of updates, there just hasn't been that much we've stumbled across lately that we've found to be particularly noteworthy. Swagger Like Paper Mick Boogie Mix)- M.I.A & Kanye West & Jay Z Young Folks (Klumpfisk remix)- Peter, Bjorn [...]

Every once in a while, you come across a "tell your friends" artist. Not just a "post about this" artist, not even just a "this one's gonna be big" artist, but a "we've fallen in love for a little while, and want everyone to know" artist. Rosalind Schonwald is our latest "tell your friends" artist. [...]

This is one of the sickest music videos we've seen in a long time…the production is just supa dupa fly.

In an effort to salvage whatever indie credibility we lost with our "hamster on a piano" post, we find ourselves turning to Wes Anderson. Ole' Wessy's directed movies such as The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, and, most recently, The Darjeeling Limited. He has inherently subscribed to the belief that all indie [...]

Our beloved hamster just past away after a short, but entirely spirited 15 months of existence. Now, this song might strike you as a completely inappropriate elegy. But with this, we'll honor Bernie in death the way he lived his life: with passion, energy, and excitement. RIP. Hamster On Piano (Eating Popcorn)- Parry Gripp

Many of you may be aware that our favorite soulful-chunky-goddess-from-England has a new CD of remixes. We at Kickin' The Peenz were aware as well, in fact, but it took us a while to figure out which ones we found "funky" and which we found to be esoteric for the sake of being esoteric. [...]

Good pop music turns us on; so naturally, the following information is practically orgasmic. Bear with us. Details of Timbaland's upcoming "Shock Value 2″ are slowly coming out, and it is looking absolutely divine. The album is slated to drop February 14th, and the first single will be Meltdown, impacting radio January 5th, featuring Justin Timberlake [...]

We begrudgingly let ourselves be dragged to the cinema yesterday (we know, who calls it the cinema??) to see "Slumdog Millionaire"…and boy, we've never been happier that we were unwillingly forced to do something!! We highly recommend the film to any and everyone: the story revolves around an Indian beggar (Jamal, a 'slumdog') who appears [...]

The videos for Beyonce's next two singles, Halo (the slow ballad from "I Am…") and Diva (the stomping dance floor banga from "Sasha Fierce") premiered earlier today. Diva looks to continue the phenomenal success of the Single Ladies video; it's a black and white affair again, heavily featuring Beyonce and two female backup dancers. [...]

Check out this pretty sweet single we got in the mail the other day. The brilliant piece of pop music is naturally from a Swedish duo, The Sound of Arrows. M.A.G.I.C. is the first single from The Sound of Arrows' upcoming album, to be released sometime next year, and it's absolutely amazing; we just get [...]

Check out two new tracks from FL/The Sunshine State/Flo Rida, off his upcoming sophomore album "R.O.O.T.S." The first single from the album is Touch Me, and samples Benny Benassi's dance hit from a couple years back, Satisfaction. The second is Right Round, sampling Dead or Alive's You Spin Me Round (Like A Record). Both songs [...]

Just when you thought that the British had all the contemporary sultry, soulful songstresses (Duffy, Adele, Amy, Tina Barrett), Janelle Monae, Karina Pasian, and Jazmine Sullivan burst onto the scene. Now, maybe it's unfair to say that these acts are up-and-coming: these lovely ladies were each recognized with Grammy nominations for their work this year. [...]

…So it isn't actually THAT new, but I am new to Kickin' the Peanuts, and this song is yet to be posted, so you get where I'm coming from. This song is from the Twilight Soundtrack; if I remember correctly, it was played while Bella and Edward were attempting to hook up, but instead deemed it [...]

The waxen winter sky has been unloading snow on us for the last two days. It's noon on day three, and there's no sign it is going to stop anytime soon. (Global warming who??) The monochromatic wilderness outside right now, so silent but so salient, stands still. White frosted icicles hang from the sill of [...]

Below is a nice little recap of the playlists we've been posting over the last week here on Kickin' the Peanuts, and more so, a recap of this year in music.

Hey dewdsters!My name is Emily Katz, and I am the newest addition to Kickin’ the Peenz.Here is one of my favorite tracks- it’s by the Notorious B.I.G (r.i.p) and is called Kick in the Door, which seems really appropriate given the name of this blog. Expect many more exhilarating updates from me in the future. [...]

2008 was home to some pretty amazing remixes. Aeroplane's mesmerizing synth beats, with dreamy vocals from Au Revoir Simone, completely reinvents Friendly Fires' Paris; Dave Aude updates Single Ladies into an equally dreamy, synth-driven jam; TEPR blows up Santogold's Say Aha, crafting an absolutely insane, dance floor banger; DFA puts an old school spin on [...]

Here are Linus' favorite songs of 2008. Vampire Weekend burst onto the scene in a massive way, with their genre-bending, appropriately playfully music, amidst a flurry of well-deserved blog buzz, winning the hearts of, well, everyone; Coldplay, to no one's surprise, wowed the socks of fans and critics with "Viva La Vida"; Fleet Foxes released [...]

Beloved electro-pop duo The Bird and the Bee are slated to release their sophomore album "Ray Guns Are Not Just the Future" on January 27th. We're still giving the album a listen, but from what we hear so far, it's as delectably twee and electopoppy as their absolutely amazing self-titled debut. The music Greg Kurstin [...]

Here are Woodstock's picks for 2008. None of these tracks are exactly your typical hip-hop or rap track; rather, they're a kind of funky spin on the genre, showcasing a good bit of innovation and creativity. Kanye's "808s and Heartbreak," whose merit has been hotly debated, was without a doubt one of our favorite albums [...]
