Dyland's Top Twenty Remixes #16

#16 is a Vancouver remix from IFHT Films in collaboration with Major Fox Sounds. This curveball perhaps doesn't quite fit in this list but it is too good to not include even if it is a commercial for Snapple.

I have always enjoyed the beauty of Vancouver, I'm of course biased being from the West, but overpopulation and expenses forced me to choose elsewhere to live. This video does a good job of showcasing the city and creating a banging remix all while promoting...Snapple? I can't comment on the product, I don't drink.

Dyland's Top Twenty Remixes #17

#17 was created by Pogo for Pokémon and boy
it's one that's embedded in my brain. Partly
due to the randomizer favouring this but
also because it's so darn catchy... get it
because it's called Catchatronic?... I'll let
myself out.

I love the energy, beats and transitions but I'm
sure some find the lyrics a bit repetitive, but
that may be the case for a lot of these remixes. Another little tidbit that myself and others have pointed out that 0:47 sounds like fashion show music. Like it's something that would play at a
vogue fashion show in New York or something
and I'm not sure why.

Nostalgia again plays a factor with this remix as it does for a lot of them. My brothers and I used to have the old Pokemon VHS tapes but we never had YTV so we missed quite a bit of the more modern Pokemon series but it's certainly interesting to see Bertke remix later Pokémon generations because people usually will just remix Generation 1 over and over. 

Not dead Yet: Episode VIII: V Day strikes back

Hello friends,

It's me, Eric Riccy, with no fancy tournament or other silly guise, giving you an update post.

It's wonderful Dyland has returned, and I hope to see the rest of his countdown. At this point he's done 20-18, be sure to check out those posts if you haven't yet.

I am currently under the weather, first time I've been this sick in 2 years. I'm trying to juggle quite the work load in hopes to afford some big life steps, and unsurprisingly there's been hurdles along the way, namely this sickness so far.

It's also partly why I don't post so much, because I think ambitiously and then posting becomes tougher than it needs to be.

I guess I had a baby sized pipedream to try going pro somehow with media, but I still have no idea what I'm doing. It's hard to concentrate when you're dedicating all your energy to other goals and people.

So tl dr tournament paused, check out them Dyland posts and maybe I'll toss one in here and there too. His posting is inspiring me 😎

Dyland's Top Twenty Remixes #18

#18 is from Chetreo and features Dreamworks' How to Train Your Dragon; a franchise which is beloved by many, including me. The remix
itself is perhaps a little ordinary and doesn't
really have lyrics, which might not be for
everyone, but nostalgia has blinded me
enough to include it.

I watched the entire trilogy in theatres: the first when I was in grade eight, the second film just a week before my high school graduation, and the last film after I had finished university and was celebrating my five-year annivesary with my girlfriend. So I do believe that this franchise
holds a special place in my heart and the
remix brings back fond memories. I should
reiterate that this Top 20 is purely subjective. 

Dyland's Top Twenty Remixes #19

This list contains a lot of my favourites, thus
why it's a top 20 countdown so just because
the song is low doesn't mean I don't like it,
it simply means I like others better.

#19 is a remix from the very talented and quite popular schmoyoho channel; who I've been following for nearly a decade. This particular
remix is a part of their Songify The Movies
series and features Disney's The Incredibles.

The lyrics flow well, the chorus is also
very catchy - and builds with the introduction
of each character which is a nice touch, and
of course the "where is my super suit!?" part
is a classic.

This one is lower simply due to the randomizer constantly coming back to it which does lead to overplaying and song exhaustion, but that is no fault of the song (just maybe the end card which is annoying to skip when you're doing other things while listening).
