Pretty Good Dance Moves, a band out of Chicago and Brooklyn has released a new track to the universe. That tracking being “Leave Me Alone” featuring Bjorn Yttling of Peter Bjorn & John. The track sparkles and wiggles along on handclaps and phosphorescent synth.

December has to have the highest concentration of holidays in the fewest number of days. I mean… Hanuka, Christmas, Kwanza, New Year’s Eve, Boxing Day, and of course my birthday, which happens to coincide with New Year’s eve. That’s a lot of holidays! So I’m posting this ahead of time since I will probably be consumed with festivities on December 31st as I’m sure many of you will as well. So here is my birthday/new year’s gift to you, a mix of some of the best remixes I’ve heard this year. Bon nouvelle année et joyeux anniversaire à moi!
