Remix

Remixes. Some are good, some are bad. Some make me want to shoot the DJ responsible for the abomination, some make me want to leap for joy whenever I hear them. How do you know when a remix is good you might ask? Well, it is somewhat a personal decision, you could simply decide whether you enjoy the original version or the remix better. But that takes work. And most people are lazy. So I will save you the effort by telling you which remixes you should stay away from. The worst, and unfortunately the most often listened to remixes are usually the ones that you hear on your local maintream radio station, surprise surprise!

You know a remix is bad when:
1. It is by children (yes Kidzbop, this is directed at you)
2. It is by an annoying rapper and/or group
3. It is a cover of an already amazing song (take for example Disney movie songs covered by Diseney channel "stars")
4. The beat does not match up with the original song
5. It is worse than the original.

Now you know which ones to avoid. But which ones am I allowed to listen to, you may ask. Well, faithful reader, you will listen to the remixes I deem good. How do you find the good ones with so many bad ones? You could start by looking up one of your favorite bands on Youtube and simply add "remix" to the end of your search. Secondly, and most importantly, make sure that the remix is done by a good artist. If you don't know, look it up! Any stupid or mainstream rapper name should be discarded immediately. Still need help? Here is one of my favorite remixes, the first video is the original and the second is the remix:



Good, but it could use some improvement:




Much better. I hope my vague expertise will be enough to rescue you from any bad remixes you may encounter in the future.
