9fcf9d06cf7b21cdb888410af2430da5 MuuCycle: Round OneWell Muusers, it’s happened once more: My inbox is now bursting at the e-seams, and I just can’t seem to keep up anymore. As a result, I’ve decided I’m going to cement this type of circumstance into a fun, recurring event: The MuuCycle!

Whenever I get a boatload of tracks ready to review, I’ll herd ‘em together in one big package for all to enjoy. We’ve got a lot of mixes and mashes, as well as some originals…So take your pick! My preferences have been elected through a complex star ranking system. I’ll allow my dear readers to decode my method for themselves.

Oh, and do make sure to check out Sicknote–They make Electric Six sound dignified.

As always, take what you like and leave what you don’t. If an artist particularly tickles your fancy, drop me a comment and I’ll be sure to cover them more in depth!

As for my own opinion, I have a strong feeling that Alex Roots‘ debut may prove to be something to watch for in the very near future.

    Yeah Alex Roots, I love her so much <3
    Her 'Control' is… 'Unbelievable' (so bad pun sorry ^^)
    But yeah, that would be great that you talk more about Roots.

    alez roots is gr8 but i love love love the naked highway. who are they? where are they from?

  • Leilene Davis

    the naked highway track reminds me of that song “obsession” from the 80s. i love the interplay of male and female vocals. i’m not a big fan of mash-ups, but the ones you posted are descent.

    i don’t think the smiths lend themselves well to remixes. the sparks remix of suedehead from two years ago wasn’t so great either.

  • xolondon

    ?Is there a PR situation happening in these comments?

    I think I care most whether you truly like these tracks. I read this blog because I think it reflects what you recommend, versus what someone else wants you to cover.

  • Brad

    Never fear XO, I’ll never lose sight of my own recommendations! I’m usually neither ere nor there on mash-ups and the like, so I thought I’d offer ‘em up to the masses while they’re still available. Just a Sunday night treat.

    Otherwise, my music picks will always be the main focus at MuuMuse. :)
