Dear Winter, Eat It — Round Three: Marina & The Diamonds Remix Edition

It’s been a cold minute since we told winter to eat it, mostly because we thought winter was actually over. Turns out we were just in Texas.
Baseline temps in New York have certainly risen in the last week or so, but it is still bullshittingly cool for April 1st. So we’re going to reheat the Eat It Winter series with two recent remixes of Marina & The Diamonds, a sassy little lilt-voiced Welsh lady and her band of random guys. Let’s go, sun!

Dear Winter, Eat It — Round Two: The Röyksopp Edition Starring Lykke Li and Robyn

As we mentioned yesterday, it is on between us and Old Ass Man Winter. Today it’s supposed to be 60 degrees in New York — nice try — but it’s raining and the temperature is supposed to drop back into the low 40s tomorrow. So, Winter, please continue to kiss our asses. Here are two more effervescent Scandinavian soft jams courtesy of Norway’s Röyksopp and the two lovely Swedes, Lykke Li and Robyn, from Röyksopp’s new album Junior.

THE FADER vs WINTER: ROUND TWO:

Dear Winter, Eat It

We’ve had just about enough of this seeing-your-breath/feeling-your-soul-ebb bullshit that has been New York City weather since October, and we’ve done everything we can to be nice and post summer songs only as wishful thinking. But it looks like it’s time to play some hardball — HERE IT COMES, DICK WINTER — nothing but soft, pulsing, sort of housey Ibiza cabana jawns from now until we can wear shorts on the weekend and not freeze our babymakers off.
