Re: New 313-relevant stuff
@Tristan No worries. Your version is more salacious and probably makes for better press. Thanks for the compliment. @Nathan Those Radiohead remixes were done on a lark as part of a remix “contest” back when “In Rainbows” came out. They were posted to a website that stayed active for close to a year, I think. I put “contest” in quotes because there were no prizes. Still, it was a fun exercise. Usually, my goal with a remix is to keep a prominent aspect unaltered and try to compose something completely new around it. With “Nude,” the vocal track plays from beginning to end as it does in the original song. “Reckoner” uses just a vocal snippet but it stills follows the same philosophy. Speaking of which, here’s a link to a Matthew Dear remix I did for a Vintage King remix contest. I don’t know where you can find the original version of “Can You Rush Them” now. Again, I kept the original arrangement, vocals, drums and some sound effects. Where my version has a sort of jazzy, Bossa nova chord progression, his original version was more of a drone in D…or G, I don’t recall which. https://m.soundcloud.com/harbonder/can-you-rush-them-remix-brian-boyer Anyway, I’m glad to hear you liked the Radiohead stuff, as well as some of our other stuff. - Boyer > On May 21, 2021, at 8:47 PM, Nathan Goode wrote: > > Have always dug Strand’s stuff.

Have always dug Strand’s stuff. I remember listening to their remix of Radiohead’s Reckoner repeatedly. It was part of a remix comp I think?

Re: New 313-relevant stuff
Who is Strand?…indeed. Being somewhat of an authority myself, I can safely say that Strand is and and has always been Brian Bonds, Kech and Brian Boyer (me). Before that, we were T.H.D. on Serious Grooves. We are from Detroit, although there are several other Strands out there that hail from different places. We’ve done things a bit low-key over the years, which accounts for the uncertainty as to who’s who. I’m glad people are interested enough to ask, even if they don’t get it quite right.

Headless Horseman
At risk of stepping over self-promo lines, the second release on my new label is out today. It's been a long time coming. I first posted one of these tracks here fifteen years ago, and these tracks were nearly released through a connection on this list, in what would have been an exceptionally exciting way. But that all fizzled, they gathered virtual dust, and last year I finally decided to start the label to get these tracks out there. Hope y'all enjoy. Pretty 313-friendly I feel, but you be the judge. https://phonopsia.bandcamp.com/album/Headless-Horseman Other shops and digital places here: https://category.horse/headless-horseman/ If anyone is irritated, Jwan told me to be more self-promotional last year, so blame him.
