Winning Wednesday 1 (Paper Diamond, The National, and Paper Crows)

     Welcome viewers to Winning Wednesday! The day that we all hate, which is now apparently 420, so ups and downs today all around. And I must say it is confusing what to post today, I thought about doing some popular remixes that I have been noticing floating around. Now with my lead publisher not answering texts so early in the morning I guess its again completely up to me, so without further ado, Winning Wednesday!

     Being what today is I will throw a little something at you for later tonight, a little something special from Boulder, Colorado. Paper Diamond/Pretty Lights, Derek Vincent, the man behind all of the amazing music at prettylightsmusic.com has brought you something fresh. A Toni Braxton remix following his new flavour of music now that he has made his own record label and expanded his fanbase with the release of the Levitate EP not that long ago. The EP is what you've come to expect from Derek if you've ever heard any of his earlier work, just without the samples, and with the bass down low. Hit the link and vid down below for the song of the day and the link above for the Levitate EP. Head on over to his website for free downloads for all of his work and his other great projects.







     Now for us that aren't a huge fan of wednesday do I have something for you. This week saw the release of a game that I myself have been waiting quite some time for, and would have if I had any money would have already bought, Portal 2. Now just yesterday did I find out that one of the main songs is written and performed by The National, an indie rock band from Cincinatti, Ohio. This track is pure unremixed beauty filled with strings and piano, just soft enough to calm you down after the half of a week that is so boring it would lead you here to me.

     The second part of our little wednesday relaxation is a remix of a song by the Paper Crows. I stumbled across this song in my library early last week and instantly fell in love with the soft lyrics and piano somehow remixed into a song that will ruin your emotional stability if you let it, beautiful but dangerous, guard yourself.
