Music: Kids (like belgian waffles...I like women)

Ok...Let me be completely honest with all of you. My ears are sore from listening to the new MGMT remix of "Kids". God knows I love Soulwax, but this time I was shocked in disappointment and to call the remix a "nite version" is just utterly ridiculous. I hope this never makes it as an official release because I know I'll probably buy it anyways, even if it is this awful. I mean, this is like a stab in the back. I just watched "part of the weekend never dies" and it made me love those two Belgian Brothers even more, but this, this just breaks my heart. On paper one could say this is probably the remix of the year, but when the sound of it is so clique' one would hope it never happened. I guess I'm just becoming bitter, but everyday that passes, that sweet electro sound no longer does it for me. Electro...is this the end? Are we not lovers anymore? Have you ran out of ideas and beats? Were you just a fling like Electroclash was? Where did we go wrong? I know... It was all those American Apparel Hipsters. Maybe it's no one's fault...maybe it's just time to move on. I just hope this is not our last kiss.

Music: Feeling Electricity!

So after all the hype that's been going on for months, I finally sat down an listened to the whole MGMT album. A mixture of Psychedelic riffs and borderline folk tracks, the only tracks that stood out for us were "electric feel" and "time to pretend". Not surprisingly, these tracks were chosen as singles, but I kinda wish their album was more oriented towards the sound of these two. Then again I'm sure the other songs appeal more to an Indie rock crowd. I've been playing "electric feel" pretty much non-stop for the past month and now that Justice did a remix for it, it kinda made sense to post about it. Thanks to Asian "The Man" Dan, we got our hands on the remix, which by the way sounds not to much different, except for the tweaked out vocals and the re-instrumentation. Ironically the first time I heard "Electric feel" it kinda reminded of recent production by Cassius. Now it's the nouveau French Duo par excellence to provide remix duties. Match made in heaven?....possibly.
