Another week, and some more music. A face-melting mix from FLVR BNK as well as another Ke$ha remix (I know, I know, I post so much of her music—but what can I say, I’m in love). But don’t worry, I’ve still got some great new Hood Internet and an unknown DJ mash to compensate. So without further ado, let’s get into this.

FLVR BNK, a collab project between DJ Renaisance, DJ Madmonk, and DJ Real Juice (great names, right?), gave us a hard-hitting mash/mix of Eurythmics and LMFAO, the results of which rock my socks right off. I also just love the groups tag-line intro, “Flavor Bank made it bettah.” Classic.

This week’s songs are on opposite sides of the musical spectrum. The first, a new jam from Ke$ha’s recently dropped album, is a diva pop track about the joys of Boots and Boys, while the second is Citizen Cope’s new nostalgic melody about unforgettable love.

I feel like I’ve been posting a lot of Ke$ha lately, and I almost feel bad about it. It’s not that I am overly obsessed with her music (thought Tik Tok, overplayed now, is still a pretty sweet party tune). But I do feel like I should post her new, “Boots and Boys,” seeing as I’ve been ranting and raving about her in past posts.

“Boots and Boys” is probably what would be expected from Ke$ha on Animal, her full length album: a synth-filled, almost dark ballad about how the only thing Ke$ha cares about are—well, boots and boys. Shallow and weird, I know, but hey, this is the girl that brought us the lyric, “Brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack,” so, is it really that out of the norm for this LA transplant? You can hear other songs from her new album here.

Most music posts these days are looking back at all the top 40 wonders, remixes, mash-ups, and all-around ridiculousnesses of 2009, although those who know me may note my overall nostalgic temperament, when it comes to music (and the new year) there’s no time for looking back, only onward and upwards.

The first song is a little re-do by Pitbull of Kesha’s now-ubiquitous club hit “Tik Tok,” which I am still inclined to call “Tick Tock (P-Diddy).” It’s honestly not that great of an addition, admittedly, and Pitbull only offers a rap intro for the main song, but I’m always one for re-makes of songs that keep old, sometimes overplayed songs fresh and alive at parties.

Better jams after the jump!

This week is a week of looking back, a week of reflection, if you will, as both the featured songs actually in one way or another link back to previous posts of mine. So, let us go together on a little journey down memory lane.

Some (though not many I’m sure) may remember my original post of Ke$ha’s “Tick Tock”, it was a great mid-summer club drop from an LA girl with a whole lot of potential. Well now a Fred Falke has brought his remix skillz to her track,  and it’s available on the interweb along with a pretty sweet music video.

Ke$ha is everything that makes a pop-diva these days: blonde, hawt mess, who seemingly doesn’t give a fuck. I originally expected this song to have caught on by now, but I’m still holding on to it, and still expect it to gain notoriety over the course of the year.

The second track, from the amazingly talented DJ duo The Hood Internet, mashes Duck Sauce and Consequence up like potatoes (corny I know, but I’m standing by the lame joke). The funky instrumental from “Anyway” could very well go with a large number of Hip Hop raps; however, team appropriately picked Consequence’s “Whatever U Want,” to fulfill all their lyrical needs. The obvious overlap of lyrics makes for a smooth mash, listenable, and, most importantly, danceable mash. Long live The Hood Internet.

Hope those tracks satiate some of your new song needs. And until next week keep it real, while keepin’ it safe.

I could have posted any of the numerous turbo-charged mashups/remixes out there this weekend, but instead I have opted to higlight two artists that have set the sphere (and my ears) a-blaze: female party-pop stars Kesha and Kid Sister.

Apparently all you need to be a pop goddess is a pair of stunnaz…

You may recognize Kesha’s name from her featured artist credit on Flo Rida’s Right Round, probably not the best of credentials for this rising L.A. diva. But put her shady musical past out of mind while listening to her hot new track, Tick Tock (P-Diddy).

Besides sounding eerily akin to Justice’s own “Thhheeee Parttyyyy,” the song oozes with the sort of “girl power” pop that has been seen everywhere these days, from Lady Gaga to the Britney revival.

Track number two after the jump!
