I don't really follow Blog House happenings because I find a lot of the music to be very disposable or vapid. Music that is called "Blog House" now was interesting 7 years ago when DJs like Diplo (he used to go by Diplodocus) were doing "mash-ups" at parties in Ukrainian community halls in Philly, Baltimore and NYC, before mp3 blogs and Girl Talk became household speak. But really, how far can remixes of remixes, spawned in bedrooms on laptops with pirated software, be taken? All the same, you sometimes do come across some noteworthy tracks amid the flavour-of-the-week stuff.
1. Throbbing Gristle - Hot On The Heels Of Love (Ratcliffe Remix) [NovaMute]
2. Thriller/Unknown - Genie [thought to be Actress of the Werks label]
3. Thriller/Unknown - Freak For You [" "]
4. Floating Points - Love Me Like This (Nonsense Dub) [R2 Records]
5. Animal Collective - Daily Routine (Phaseone remix)
6. Arthur Russel - In The Light (Alan Abrahams Edit) [Scape]
7. Grizzly Bear - Owner Of A Lonely Heart (Yes cover)
8. Bottin - No Static [Italians Do It Better]
