Cold War Kids - Something Is Not Right With Me Remixes by Richard Swift

The Blot has been impatiently waiting for the release of the Cold War Kids’ second album, Loyalty to Loyalty, for months now. While I refuse to listen to the album before I have it in hands, I made an exception for these two new remixes of the albums first single, “Something Is Not Right With Me.”


Richard Swift was given the task of remixing the single and pulled off two interesting variations of the song, an Onasis remix and an Instruments of Science and Technology remix. I haven’t heard the original track yet so it’s impossible to give a comparison, but it is good to finally hear some new Cold War Kids music after such a long time.


What’s best of all is that the California indie band decided to release these two new “Something Is Not Right With Me” remixes on their MySpace page and is allowing fans to download the songs for free! So head over to the Cold War Kids MySpace page and get to downloading.


Loyalty to Loyalty is scheduled to be released in stores and online on September 23, 2008 and comes in both a standard and deluxe edition. You can also pre-order the standard and deluxe editions of the album at Newbury Comics where every pre-order comes with an Autographed CD, or at the iTunes store where the album comes with an exclusive track entitled “Bullies Always Win.”

Amanda Visell - Kidrobot Exclusive Moonshine Print

One of The Blot’s newest art addictions is work by Los Angeles based artist Amanda Visell. I just can’t get enough of her amazing work! I first learned Visell earlier this year when she released the ridiculously awesome Pink Elephant featuring Drunky McSkunky. Since then Amanda has been on fire with new production pieces, prints and original custom figures.

Sadly, the only Visell piece I own is her Series 5 Dunny. But it’s pretty great in its own right. I am sharing all of this because last week Ms. Visell released a very cool Kidrobot exclusive new glicee. The Moonshine Print is limited to just 50 pieces and is currently still available at Kidrobot’s online store. This print is a great example of Visell’s cartoony, abstract style that The Blot loves so much.


So here is your chance to add a wonderful piece of Amanda Visell artwork to your collection, but act quickly. Because at $70.00 each, this limited edition Kidrobot exclusive Moonshine print is sure to be selling out any day now.
