Lazy Sunday Music

Sundays are awesome, especially in the second semester. A whole day stretched out in front of you where you can relax any way you can conceive. Here at Musings and Mashups, we only rest once we give our readers a dose of today's best music, from all genres. In that spirit, you'll find today's post especially diverse.




Finally, we are saved. The Two Friends have released another mashup. Each and every time they seem to ressurect songs that most people thought were very dead and very buried. And this release is no different, taking Fountain of Wayne's classic song "Stacy's Mom" and turning it into a dancefloor maniac.

Is there anyone who doesn't like Calvin Harris? And who can get enough "Feel So Close To You"? This remix comes sent to us from DJ Robert Pennington and usually I'm wary when it comes to DJ produced tracks. They tend to feel rushed and ill-put together. But he nails it on this one. Awesome pick of lyrics and expert clip to use from "Feel So Close To You". Enough blabbing for now, take a listen.
Feels Like a Domino - DJ Robert Pennington





Been awhile since I heard an indie-rock song as good as this one by The Kickdrums. Heavy line and big brass coming in during transitions. A little dreamy in parts, which never hurts. Then, out of nowhere, smooth and relaxed rap and an added a snare. Sundays are for listening to some different types of tracks, so try this one on for size.

British Invasion part deux?? You might think so by listening to this beautful Beatles cover by Benjamin Francis Leftwich. Awesome vocals, gentle guitar, there's simply nothing not to like. Very well done covers are one of life's little joys.

Geez, I just can't get enough St. Lucia. He released a self-titled EP about a week ago, and you can see the growth in this talented producer. He's branched out into unchartered territory, using original lyrics and unique beats and sounds. Been listening to this one quite a bit. You will too.
Closer Than This - St. Lucia





It's frustrating and awesome when you can't categorize a song. There's just no genre you can confidently put to this next song, and while frustrating at first, I then realize that it's awesome because it's something I haven't heard before. This remix by EarthMoonEarth fits neatly into that niche.
Easy - Dragonette (EarthMoonEarth Remix)





Finals song comes from a section of the new music world that we haven't featured much here, it's folk-rock. I do enjoy Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes and Mumford and Sons to some extent, but it seems we haven't been able to feature any new bands like them. Well that ends now. Heartless Bastards have a similar sound and just an awesome, head bobbing vibe to them. Dig it, and check out their new EP, Arrows, on SoundCloud.
Parted Ways - Heartless Bastards





Lots of music today, and couldn't even fit it all in. Stay tuned.


Until Next Time,
