Finally getting around to writing-up the above photograph. From now on I am going to post the pictures followed by a backwrap (sp?) and links to youtube files so you have it immediately.

The 7" Owl City has the UK radio edits of 'Fireflies' and 'Vanilla Twilight." It is ready to play at almost any event, ranging from family friendly to night club. It was released in 2010 and like most vinyl, especially 7" 45rpm single, didn't sell as much as their digital formats. The band, Owl City formed in Minnesota around 2007. Following their success on Myspace Owl City signed with Universal in 2008. Here is the link to their official video with 333M views.

The "Wolfgang Gartner Remix" on the B-Side of Miike Snow's 'Paddling Out" single is so much fun. The extra bass utilizes big diaphragm pressure transducers, a feature not included on the A-Side. It was released in 2012 on the label Universal, like the Owl City record mentioned above. It would be neat if they were pressed in the same record factory. The B-side remix is 2:27s longer than the A-side, as a result it is more repetitive and I recommend playing later in the evening at dance parties, especially for advanced dancers. Lots of fun and around 10K views.

Phantogram "Fall In Love" was released in 2014 on the label Republic, a subsidy of Universal. With a low retail price, the record was designed to promote Phantogram's upcoming full length LP. It is a release crafted in the traditional, tavern DJ style; an energetic bassline, 94 beats per minute, female vocals. 15M views and that is reasonable place to get started.
