Another Shot at Something...


Seems like Don Diablo is everywhere nowadays, and with good reason. He's making fuckin' killer tracks, no question about that. Today, I opened an email containing a new Don Diablo remix - a remix of a Tila Tequila "song," "I Love You." and, I gotta tell you, it set me back...

Now we are not the only ones that got this email, oh no. Many, many bloggers across the sphere have received this track and if I know Hype Machine like I think I do - this will end up Number 1 on the popular page sometime within the next 13 and half minutes...








Tila Tequila - I love you (Don Diablo Remix)

Not that there's anything wrong with the remix, it is what it is... or anything wrong with Mr. Diablo himself, he's quite good at what he does...

My real question is; is this remix of fading star Tila Tequila worth posting or not?

I bet all the money in my pockets against all the money in your pockets that 99% of the readers of this blog (or any of the blogs that frequent blogrolls across the globe for that matter) would never play this song out in its original format normally... I certainly wouldn't and I am known for playing some off-the-wall, "did he really do that" shit in my sets...

Leads me to believe this is a "joke" remix... but is it a good joke?

There's joke tracks like Ludachrist's MARTA Girl number or Disco D's "Hug it Out Bitch" Bmore Edit...

But when does the line get crossed from "funny thing I saw on youtube" or "favorite catch-phrase" remixes which get a laugh for a little while to remixes of people, like Tequila, that actually think they have a shot (not pun intended) at being a music star. Ex: Paris Hilton, Brooke Hogan, either of Ozzy Osbourne's sons...

I mean, these people actually think that they can break out into the world of pop stardom -
Do remixes like these help or hurt them and their musical aspirations?
Is this an unofficial remix or did the Tequila camp contact Diablo for the mix?

Is it worth blogging about for the fact that one of the hardest working people in the remix scene did the mix?

Or is it postable simply for the fact that there are people like me asking, "why?"

I just don't know...
