To further intrigue fans, the girls set about having some remixes of “Under The Bridge” done, which you can hear below. First is TS7’s mix, which seems to split the difference between house…

Mew are my favorite proggy band. When I hear most prog, it seems like it’s more about being technically proficient and showing off your skills with your instruments than writing actually inspired songs.

Melanie Martinez, one of my favorites from The Voice, unleashes her creativity upon the world with her new song and video, “Pity Party,” which includes an interpolation of “It’s My Party And I’ll Cry If I Want To” — or whatever that oldie is called.
