Do you follow me on Twitter? You should follow me on Twitter. If you did, you’d be alerted to hot scoops like walls of Slime in Shinjuku Station and random rants against sexist pigs.
Oh, and you’d also know I’m gay.
Yes, the man who has spent the better part of nine years sharing club remixes of Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure and Madonna tunes is gay. I know. It’s a real shocker.
Hey, speaking of Madonna and New Order, how about some more Madonna and New Order?
Madonna
Nothing Really Matters (Club 69 vocal club mix)
Nothing Really Matters (Club 69 Future mix)Â
Nothing Really Matters (Club 69 Speed mix)Â

Expect a shit ton of more Madonna in the coming weeks. I feel like I always say that, but it’s doubly true now. I recently bought about 20 more Madonna singles. Add that to the 10 I bought that I still haven’t shared and that’s a lot of Madge.
I now own over 80 Madonna LPs, most of which are singles. I can’t wait until I can go back to the states and mail the ones I have here to Japan. Having my Madonna records spread out across two continents just feels wrong.
“Nothing Really Matters (Club 69 Speed Mix)” is new, while the other remixes of that track are reposts. However, my original post was sourced from a hella scratchy vinyl while these come straight from the CD single, so even if you did download them before I’d download them again.
I might have more remixes of “What It Feels Like For A Girl” in the coming weeks. I think I bought another 12″ of it. Maybe.
Look, I bought 20 Madonna singles, did my Japanese taxes and came out to my family last week. Sorry if I can’t remember everything perfectly.
New Order
Waiting For A Sirens’ Call (Filterheadz Remix)
Jetstream (Jacques Lu Cont Dub)
As New Order get its heads out of its ass and release more of their remixes digitally, it’s getting harder and harder for me to find legitimately obscure tracks by the group. Thankfully I go crate digging for records in tiny record shops in out-of-the-way areas in Tokyo.
Both of these remixes were taken from different 12″ singles that the band put out in 2006. To my knowledge none of them have ever been made available digitally or on CD in a commercial form. They’re very good club tracks, some of the better dance-focused New Order remixes from that decade I think.
This remix series also had a third 12″ featuring “I Told You So (Stuart Price’s Remix)” but that was later put on the Lost Sirens album so I’m not including it here.
rock on
Thanks for posting those NRM mixes. Mine were corrupted and the CD single was in storage. Nice to hear them again!
…and THAT – people – is how to come out with class. Thanks for these mixes, and many many others.
Congratulations for your coming out and for your impeccable taste in music!
Congrats on the coming out, btw. Welcome to the club. And thank you for making my life so much better musically for so many years. 🙂
Thanks For The NRM Remixes. There were a few I didn’t have (but had alternates for some reason). Congrats on coming out to your family.
….and I’m not gay!
Thank you so much for the NO remixes……I never knew these existed. (NO fanatic here) btw…just an aside here…the Planet funk remix of WFTSC is an amazing NO song to go revisit. sorry for all the acronyms. and congrats on finally coming out (lol) on this site….omg, when I was growing up in mt washington in the 70s, I thought I was the only homo in te burghh!
What a week! Great news – on all counts!!!!!!
Thanks for the upload. Can I ask a stupid question? How do you go about downloading these files?
Cheers for all the cool music!

I always believed you were just a straight guy with REALLY good taste. Us gays DO have the best taste. haha Thanks again for the Madge. My Madonna vinyl collection pales in comparison, but I’m beefing it up steadily.
Mazel tov! Not that it matters; just liking certain types of music isn’t an indicator of anything in particular. I’ve been pretty certain you were gay for a couple of years so that’s nice to have confirmed. Not that it’s any of my business one way or the other, LT guy. Hugs.
Congrats from NC on the big week, and thanks much for all the great music over the years.
“Nothing Really Matters” is one of my favorite Madonna songs. Thanks for posting these!
Congrats and as usual, thanks for the great blog!
I don’t know if I should say I’m not surprised you’re gay due to some of the music you’ve shared over the years or say I am indeed surprised due to some of the music you’ve shared lol. Seriously though, I never once thought you were gay and always thought you had an eclectic taste of music that defies categorization much like myself (Ministry, NIN, Kate Bush, Cyndi, etc.). In hindsight, I guess your description of Erotic City being like a 7 minute erection should’ve been hint lol. Nevertheless, congrats on your coming out and I wish you nothing but happiness 🙂
Love the NO remixes, thanks.
