Cooler Than Me with Mike Posner - Today's Mental Jootbox on Repeat AND Daily One Minute Dance (Strut) Party Song

As a fan of efficiency, generally, I dig the whole Two Birds with One Stone Concept. I get excited when I realize that the catchy, borderline OCD, stuck in my head Mental Jukebox song is the same one that I would use for my Daily One Minute Dance party.
And today, it was.
And that makes me happy. And will probably result in the One minute Dance Party on Repeat.
I need to pace myself though, or I'll be sick of this song by the End of mid-May instead of by the End of Summer.

Cooler Than Me, by Mike Posner
File Under: Can't get this catchy, scratchy, groovy, funky, but still somehow smooth, little number of a song out of my head this week. It's been out a few months, but I've been hearing some new remixes popping up lately. Guess the marketing forces-that-be are hard at work to get Mikey out there in time for summer. Well, they've succeeded with me and got my $3.97. I dig this tune, and hope you will as well. You can catch him on the Warped Tour this summer.

Original Version
It's a bit more of a finger snapping, head bobbing version, and doesn't slam as hard or get as Star Wars Trancey as the other remixes, but if you don't happen to be near a dancefloor, don't fret. I think this is a truly great "Walk-Dance Through The Loud Bar And To The Bathroom" Song.



Remix Ft Big Sean...I dig this one- not sure what it is, but there's a subtly different funk / hip-hop low-key groove, and a bit less dance going on here. And the two person vocals make it seem a bit less repetitive.



I think this is my favorite remix at the moment. It seems Gigamesh and the label folks had some minor disputes about prior unauthorized releases being used, but all has since been sorted. And I'm glad it has, because we can now all listen to, and overplay this remix. (@Gigamesh - if you haven't been paid yet, let me know & I'll take this down. And you may want to call ITunes because they're selling it with your name on it.)




Ok, I lied, I think *this one* is my favorite at the moment. It's a different Gigamesh remix I found. Similar to above, but swaps out the metronome ticking with some finger snapping. And adds a bit more vocals in the beginning, which in my completely novice opinion, happen to work really well.
It gets mellow. It gets trancey. It gets a bit more intense. You'll laugh you'll cry, blah blah blah***. Just give it a listen.

***And as an aside...Did you know they say "bleh bleh bleh" in French Canadian? It's the cutest thing I've heard all year.




This one isn't embed-able, and is short. but the energy in it is pretty contagious. you feel like you're onstage.

Now can someone please remix all of the above into one super remix? Maybe it's time I figure out how to do this stuff on my computer.
