“vanderbilt” appears on my recently released album which is called noiseworks. get that here.

traditionally its the person having the birthday who is meant to receive the gifts but today i’m giving them.

i’ve been posting a demo every week to my facebook page since the start of 2010 – i started doing it as a discipline thing, a project to force me to find time to make music at least once a week, and to post the results whatever they may be to whoever might be interested. i haven’t quite had the discipline to stick to it every week, but i’ve ended up with lots of interesting bits and pieces. some might end up on the next faux pas album, some are works in progress, bits of remixes i’m working on for bands, random things.

there are 12 so far, and you can find them all on my facebook page if you go searching for them. but as a gift to my handful of hardy blog readers (hi mum) i’ve bundled a few of them together in a soundcloud widget for you to check out below. get a vibe:

NEWWOKS – things i am working on at the moment by iamfauxpas

i’ve also posted a set of my remixes on my soundcloud, along with a few tracks from “noiseworks” – which i should add, is still available from the faux pas store.

here are a few new releases i’m enjoying at the moment. CLICK PLAY ON EVERYTHING.

from the new totally enormous extinct dinosaurs EP which is out via grecoroman – buy it at boomkat.

Riton – Banana Song

so much fun. just click play. in the words of riton, “it’s especially good when the whole place is drunk.”

and of course there’s this:

and.. caribou. what a dude. dude!

Caribou – Sun (Mondkopf remix)

Caribou – Odessa (David Wrench’s Drumapella)

david wrench is an engineer and mixer who worked on caribou’s swim record – above is his drum-only version of the smash hit caribou smash hit “odessa.” david has an album out now, which i’m very curious about. you can listen/buy to that here. i’m not sure how you “Buy to” something. he has worked with lots of cool bands in a professional capacity. just learn to trust me. we can rebuild our relationship, can’t we?

and now to world’s end press. melbourne’s finest simple minds cover band. they are amazing. here are two alternate mixes that you can only find on itunes as far as i’m aware – one is an 80s acid-pop edit style “elastic martini” remix that originated from one of the wizard’s inside the band; and the other is by tropical bass and cumbia boffin lewis cancut, who is a ledgend.

streams only.. you can buy them at the itunes. search for “worlds end press” or “simple minds”

and as a bonus beat – here’s a stream of lewis cancut’s remix of “vanderbilt,” one of mine.

Faux Pas – Vanderbilt (Lewis Cancut remix)

leave a comment – like “rad! send me.” i think soundcloud cut his comment short, i like to imagine what he meant to say was “rad! baby you send me – set adrift on memory bliss” THANKS SWICKSWICK – IF THATS EVEN YOUR REAL NAME

uh its tagged “TRIBAL” //

the original vanderbilt can be found on that album i released, you know, noisejerks. there are a few other remixes of that song which i am hoping to package up and show to all you folks shortly. my album NOISEWORKS is still “out” “now”. stay tuned for more news. i’m thinking about getting a vinyl pressing done.

i’m also thinking of making a companion cookbook called “NOISYWOKS”

wow and i haven’t even gotten around to junk culture, gold panda, shigeto, ratatat, damn moroda, magic silver white, and all the other things that are getting me excited at the moment. “GOOGLE DEM”

“BHHHHHHHHH”
