It’s kind of wild to think about how much time goes into making a video like this when it will really only be watched by probably 1,000-5,000 fans. Chalk that up to few media outlets still playing videos and our cultural obsession with the latest (anything 3 days old is actually considered old nowadays). This is a really great track that totally stands up on its own but the video provides even more depth to this balance of dark and light.

Reuse Recycle Remix is a feature where I take remixes that for one reason or another didn’t earn their own post or didn’t make it on LivingEars Radio.

Can’t believe I’m writing about Justin Beiber
August 18th, 2010J. BIEBZ – U SMILE 800% SLOWER by Shamantis
Someone who deserves an award took a new Justin Beiber song and slowed it down 800% and it actually sounds kind of cool. Soak it in, man.

August 17th, 2010As I was watching this I was thinking about what a talent it is to play the harp. What bands are using a lot of harp nowadays? I’m sure there are more but all I could come up with was Active Child and Joanna. It’s so sexy to see someone do something well and that voice –that voice!
Sony Qlasp Giveaway
August 16th, 2010
Sony has provided LivingEars with one of their new Qlasp headphones to give away. If you want to be entered to win just identify the source of the audio samples in the just released The Sun is Like a Flower mix. If you know the source ‘like’ LivingEars on Facebook, leave a comment with the source and I will gather the names of the people who answer correctly and choose a winner at random.
Contest ends at midnight MDT August 31. For U.S. residents only.
The Qlasp is part of a new line of Sony headphones called Piiq. Sony sent over the Giiq for me to check out and while these are not a high end headphone (and at $50 you wouldn’t expect them to be) they do have a better sound than the pair Skullcandy sells at the same price. The features I like most about the Giiq are the high quality cable, the extra long cable, the gold plated headphone jack and how lightweight they are.
Good Luck!
