Today I’m going to do some shameless self-promotion for the random song of the day: my remix of Amanda Palmer’s “Map of Tasmania” from her new album “Amanda Palmer Goes Down Under.” To be brutally honest, I don’t really like the song all that much. I saw “remix contest” and I jumped to enter before I even heard the track. When I did, I ripped out everything except the vocals and the ukulele. If I win, I get some cash and I get put on an EP. If I win first prize (highly unlikely), I get more cash, put on an EP, and a chance to do a song with Amanda Palmer herself (let’s hope this isn’t the case, I think E would have my head from just sitting in the same room with her). That’s not why I did it though. I did it because I’ve been antsy about recording something for a while and I see all these remixes that @slighter does and have been wondering how he hears about these things. So there you have it. Listen. You can post comments directly on the track on the official submission page, or you can just comment here. Or you can not and say you did. I’d post a download url but I can’t be bothered, so if you want to download it, you can head over to my Alonetone page. Pulled it down from Alonetone until after the contest so I don’t accidentally disqualify myself for having it published somewhere else.
