Would Someone Please Send in the Goddamn Clowns

Well, its Friday and I'm about the leave for the Caspa show. But first I thought I would include another exciting edition (first and only to be exact) of "Remixes of Already Amazing Songs, Done only Slightly Better and Without Forfeiting the Hooking Essence That Made it Amazing in the First Place Friday."

Classic tracks that need no discussion include "Must be the Devil" (reworked by Diplo), MFA's "The Difference it Makes" (Petter's Version) off MFA's 2003 EP, and Datassette's version of "Untitled" by Interpol - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Interpol - Untitled (datassette version)

The Beck addition is a little bazaar but give it a chance, you won't be disappointed. Villalobos takes a seemingly forgettable ad-pitch song and transforms it into the minimal anthem of the fucking century (or at least the last few weeks). After you're pleasantly locked in electro-land for a few minutes, not wanting to emerge having heard a mere day-maker, just wait because it plays for another eleven minutes. Enjoy

Finally, after seeing Simian Mobile Disco perform over SXSW I can honestly express my understanding and absolute love for their chronic, sometimes overly-cheesy pop-synth approaches. Listen to this remix from the Teenagers and forget about those fucking clowns. Later
