I admit I like Buffetlibre… since I first discovered them on the intercube, I dig their large vision in the dance music scene. But as much as this is about them, this isn’t really all about them at all… It’s about that little part of your innards that wants to wear parachute pants and a rat tail to the roller rink where you will have your heart broken for the first time, and possibly second, third, and fourth too… yep. This is all about the 80’s.

Rewind is a Buffetlibre project that is nothing less than some of todays coolest artists remixing or remaking some of the best and worst songs from the 80’s, you know.. the guilty pleasures.

You can see the entire list of songs and preview / download a couple of my favorites after the jump,  or you can see and download all 89 songs from the Buffetlibre website www.buffetlibredjs.net.

Lets Makeout Monday: Hit Me
December 1st, 2008 |

Right… I’m watching the last season of Californication (a guilty pleasure) and David Doucovny’s character has just managed to take a girl he met at the bookstore home for some natural recreation, and whilst she is riding him she cocks back one arm and stone cold steve austin’s him right in the face giving him a black eye… and damn that shit is hot. OK, so that hit is nothing like Buffetlibre’s new mix called ‘Hit’.  Well, actually, it kinda is… let me break this down.

1. Both were well done and have pretty decent timing.
2. Both have moments that are simultaneously enjoyable, but also a little awkward.
3. Both are things that I enjoy (presumably), but are not for every occasion.
4. And both are things that if it were not for the internet… I would have never experienced.

So what of it? Well, Buffetlibre‘s new mix is a collection of hits that they play at shows. So basically, it’s a collection of songs that are pretty standard club tracks and have stood the test of time (save for a few new-ish ones). Certainly something that you can bump to get you through the work days while you dream of punching someone is the face mid-hump.
