Source Satyricon self-titled album artwork Usually I would say something about the song and then I’ll say something like enjoy it. But this time you have to listen to the song first and then we’ll talk about it. So enjoy the song below: OK, now we can talk about it. For those that used to listen to Satyricon before this video: No, they haven’t changed the band’s frontman (yet); and also: Yes,…

The year of 2009 will remain one to remember for Phoenix and their fans, one that finally marked the band’s transcendence to worldwide success. Seeing how it was such a kind year for the French band, Phoenix have decided to give away a live album recorded during one of their performances in Sydnay from last month. Live In Sydney can be downloaded here.
Phoenix, who delivered one of the best albums of 2009 once once with “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix”, recently played an acoustic set for the German magazine Musikexpress, where, among other gems, they also played a really faithful cover of Bob Dylan’s “Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands” off his 1966 classic “Blond on Blond”. Great performance! [MP3] Phoenix – ‘Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands’ (Bob Dylan cover)
Forget what Chinese astrology might tell you, 2009 is the year of the Phoenix! After delivering what can only be described as almost pure pop perfection, in the form of their last record “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix”, and becoming the most remixed band of the summer, it’s pretty clear the band is at the top of its game. We posted a few remixes before, really great ones too, but you’ll probably find the best ones on…
Alright, it’s now official: Phoenix is without a shadow of a doubt the most remixed band of the year. This most recent one, penned by the talented uprising DJ Don Diablo, is an interesting mashup of Phoenix’s “Fences” and Jay-Z’s “99 Problems.” You can really sense the tight production work that went into the remix from a mile away – almost perfectly synced samples, blending the two songs together in a seemingly effortless and natural…
A few days ago I told you all about the Devendra Banhart remix of Phoenix’s “Rome,” a totally awesome rehash that turned the up beat anthem into a beautiful odd to melancholy. Today is Animal Collective’s turn to dive into Phoenix material – check out this spacey try of “Love Like A Sunset.” [via GorillavsBear via Phoenix Journal] [MP3] Phoenix – Love Like A Sunset (Animal Collective Remix / Deakin’s jam)
“Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix” is definitely one of the best of the year, omnipresent in the future year-end short lists to come. It’s an album that dazzles its listeners with almost insatiable rough top anthems, leaving everybody begging for more. This latest remix of”Rome” by Devendra Banhart, however, is different, reshaping the band’s sound to a great extent. It’s Phoenix’s most distant track yet – heart felt, stained with sorrow and melancholia. [via pinglewood] [MP3] Pheonix…
