**DISCLAIMER**
If there's one thing I'm ashamed to do, it's print retractions. I take pride in doing thorough research to ensure quality information is delivered. That said, I'll be the first to fess up when in err: any previous versions of Shakira's song, Did It Again, labeled as the Benassi remix, such as here, are actually the DJ Laz Remix. Sincerest apologies to all talented parties involved.


Moving on, we've got the official and totally legit Benny Benassi remix of the track to pour into your ears this morning. The mix still features the guesting vocals of Kid Cudi, but you'll immediately notice the soaring and lusciously rad signature stylings of the Italian super producer.

Also, you can watch Shakira's performance of Give It Up To Me for the iheartradio exclusive web series, which we were lucky enough to be in attendance for!


Have a listen to the official and 100% confirmed, "damn I'm sorry for getting it wrong the first time", remix now.


mp3: Shakira (featuring Kid Cudi) - Did It Again (Benny Benassi Remix)

Forgot to let you in on a little secret. I trekked to my parents' for the weekend, hence the lack of updates.

If you may recall, today actually marks my sister's one year wedding anniversary. So congrats to her and my brother-in-law, and we'll have plenty of rad goodies for you tomorrow.

That is all for now.

CMJ has officially kicked my butt. No voice, weary legs, 12 shirts with drunken idiots' spilled drinks down the back, and 1000's of pictures to go through...we concede our non-super human abilities.

I'll be back in full force tomorrow, or hey, maybe even later this afternoon...if my body will stop screaming.

I hate to do this. I really do. But I know you love it.

So, we're pulling a "getting caught up to date" post. With a whole buttload of tracks for you to enjoy.

Literally. It's loaded.

Enjoy.

mp3: Peaches - Technologic (Daft Punk No Logic cover)

I'm just throwin' it out there, that posting will happen today, but most likely not until later this afternoon/evening. Have a bunch in the queue, but alas, that fulltime job thing is a priority, ya dig?

Have this to tide you over. You won't regret the 2 minutes it takes you to download.

mp3: KillaQueenz (featuring Lady Chann) - Double Up

Today is b-b-b-busy, so the results for BEST SONG TO HELP YOU GET DRESSED will be posted tomorrow along with announcing this week's mondo rad theme.


Sorry for the delay, but this weekend proved most epic and I need a day to get caught up.

Many thanks for your support...have a free track.

And while yer at it, why not follow me on twitter? Shooting to hit 800 followers by week's end. Don't worry, we are hilarious in 140 characters, often give out free tracks we can't get around to posting, and generally give out way more personal information than should be legally allowed.

mp3: Pez - These Days

At this time tomorrow, I'll be in sunny [albeit seasonably cooler than NYC right now] Los Angeles for 7 days of fun and what will most likely turn into debauchery.

Posting, yes, will no doubt suffer, but rest assure, the BEST SONG TO THROW A PUNCH TO will go live at noon tomorrow, with this week's theme being announced at noon on Tuesday.

I'm so business.

2009 has brought big changes in the world of Sheena Beaston. The url is shorter, the posts are [for the most part] longer, but the heartfelt intent and dedication still remains.

This passion has never been more evident than in the latest [yes, another] venture I am proud to introduce.

(click image for full sized genius)

BANG A BLOGGER will be a weekly feature in which I highlight one key music blogger while presenting and highlighting their single status in the most lovable music sense.

All I need from you is:

1. a picture of your gorgeous mug (or image of something that defines you)
2. who you wanna date (males, females, dogs, etc...)
3. your ultimate 5 song playlist
4. the first concert you ever attended
5. the dream team collaboration/band of artists

Please let me know if you might be interested in participating. For starters, this is more of a social experiment that will not take more than 5 minutes of your time. As the feature grows [hopefully], we may find Mr Right or Mrs Right Now for you!

If you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to contact me here.

mp3: Vengaboys - Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom
mp3: Scream Club and Peaches - Fine As Fuck
mp3: Khia (featuring Kool Keith) - My Neck, My Back (DJ Weekend DiscoCrack remix)

Friends, Lovers, Bloggers, et al,

A new feature is being instituted into the world of Sheena Beaston and, in the continual effort to create a communal blogger environment, was hoping any and all of you might like to participate.

The feature is titled: "Best Song To...[fill in the blank]", with the "blank" obviously changing from week to week.


This week's inaugural post is simple: BEST SONG TO BANG TO

Send me your song selection, and ONE [1] sentence explaining why you love to get down to this track. Be witty, be serious, be whatever you want to be. (please include the url of your site, if indeed, you would like a link back within the post)

Here's an example:

Sheena Beaston: Hall and Oates - I Can't Go For That
"Because even nymphos like me have standards...when I'm not drunk!"

Follow my lead and be serious/silly. Got it? Good!!! All submissions MUST be received by 5pm Friday, April 3. Send here. Any questions in the meantime, please feel free to contact me.

mp3: The KnuX - Bang! Bang!

Forgive my lack of postings earlier, but we're a wee bit sad today.


We'll get over it and tomorrow will be better. I promise.

mp3: Atmosphere - Sad Clown
mp3: Metric - London Halflife

That's all.

Follow me here.

mp3: Robin S - Show Me Love (Rynecologist remix)

[PS: it's this Robin, not that Robyn. Weird they both have a song by the same name, no?]

Lil' mashup on the words slut/whore. Get it? Got it? Good!


It's my monthly plea/outreach program post to get you to stalk me. Cause what/where would I be without making myself eAvailable for you to know so many details about the Beast on a nearly 24 hour basis. [sleep is for the weak]

So follow me via any of these modes...

Feed Me
Book It
Show Me Your Twits

Ok, thanks.

mp3: Adina Howard - Freak Like Me

Sometimes I just need to document things so that my feeble little mind has proof that these things actually occur/happen to me. So please bear with me.


1. Invited my friend to a bar last night and left as soon as she got there.
2. Came home and fell asleep in my tee and purple stone washed jeans.
3. Had a dream I was playing trombone in Le Tigre's backing band.
4. Woke up wearing only the bottom half of my bikini and spooning my pillow.
5. Just filed my taxes.
6. Jumped for joy when I got a huge return, because of #7.
7. Owed ONE DOLLAR [$1] last year and got no return.
8. Just ate a fak'n, egg and cheese sando with hotsauce.
9. Marvelled at the taste of the new Berry-Cherry Vitamin Water.

Los Angeles, I'm coming to dominate you!

mp3: LMFAO - I'm in LA Bitch

...well sort of. No holds barred on the shameless part. It's that time of the month when I make a push for you to join the Sheena Beaston Web Site Readers & Music Lovers facebook group. You can do that by clicking here.


If you do join, you are free to download this track. Otherwise, no, you can't have it.

Which, of course, is a joke. I can't stop you...I can only hope to make you dance. (yes, I originally posted this last week, but my link was all bunked up.)

mp3: Holy Ghost and Monifah - Hold It (Immuzikation Blend)

I just realized I missed the first anniversary of my year of running this site.

Crap.

It was February 25.

Send presents!

/more to come on this, obvs

This being my absenteeism. Not permanently, oh no, not at all!

But probably at least until this week is over.

Shucks.

mp3: Yeah, I Actually Gots Nothing Here Either

The site template is wigging out and I have no energy to post today or tomorrow. Saturday however, will be brilliant.

Just sayin'...

Overkill much? Sorry, just a tad excited about the steps I'm taking to gracefully back the hell out of Blogger.

mp3: Whitney Houston - Im Every Woman (VNDLSM remix)

1. Yes, a newly designed site is in the works. NOT on Blogger.
2. If file links are dead and you can't download, I'm using a temporary direct mp3 link account. Bandwidth is limited. If there's a track you desperately NEED, email me here and I'll do my best to reply to all requests.
3. I'd like to know what you think of the site as it is now. Please leave a comment.

That said...it's frickin' Friday y'all's! I've got so many plans for this [long] weekend. Have fun, be safe, and celebrate all your favorite presidents on Monday!

mp3: Royksopp - Happy Up Here (Mr Vega Remix)

Sidenote: anyone see this ridic-ness last night? WOWZA.
