Our good friends from Sweden are back. This time with a rework of what is probably Sweden’s biggest and most popular band, The Ark.

The Ark is disbanding and is currently out on a farewell tour. Luckily, our fave Orchestra managed to get permission to do a full monty on the band’s latest and final (?) hit, Breaking up with God. Enjoy!

Our good friends, the Drop Out Orchestra, just dropped us a little exclusive: the full version of their new and utterly amazing 11 minute-disco re-work of the Sex Pistols’ classic Pretty Vacant. Now, is that a brilliant start to the new year, or what?

Seems as if the DOO are in for a busy  start in 2011. Apart from an upcoming gig at MiniMüzikhol in Istanbul on Jan 14 + Jan 15, the boys have a US Tour coming up in February. February also sees the release of their new album We Are Dropouts pt 2 – In Dub.

Furthermore, a handful of remixes on Needwant, Hot Pockets, OH! and MB Disco are coming soon. Make sure you follow DOO on Facebook for the latest info.

François Macré made his very own Thriller remake/cover/remix, by using his own voice only…. on 64 tracks. Here is what he has to say about the process: – Here is a remake of the "Thriller" song that I’ve entirely recorded with my own voice, using 64 a’cappella tracks. There is therefore no instrument, synthétizer, beatbox, or even to sampler, but only the sound of my voice livened up with Reverb and slight Chorus on certain tracks.

I hope you’ll have as much pleasure to hear and watch this project as I had to accomplish. For more details, I invite you to visit my MySpace profile. – Indeed, and make sure to send him a friend request. You know to be informed about his next project ;)
I wonder what will he do next!
