SPIN.com’s Top 25 MGMT Remixes

SPIN.com chooses its Top 25 MGMT Remixes. I like them: 

  • “All My Children” (MGMT vs. LCD Soundsystem), Immuzikation
    Immuzikation, a.ka. Athens, Georgia’s Alfredo P. Lapuz, Jr., is the mash-up man of the moment, and this extended massaging of LCD’s “All My Friends” (basically a mash-up of Steve Reich and New Order, anyway) with MGMT’s “Kids” is a fascinating mix of aging hipster regret and childlike hipster nostalgia. The soundtrack to a changing of the guard? (DOWNLOAD MP3)
  • “Nasty Feel,” MGMT vs. Justice vs. Notorious B.I.G.
    Brooklyn duo ddpesh modestly describe their music as “Daft Punk plus Premier’s beats divided by the Chemical Brothers” (um, good luck with that, fellas). But this hilariously ingenious mash-up of Biggie’s “Nasty Boy” with Justice’s remix of MGMT’s white-soul wafer “Electric Feel” gets a damn sight closer than anything they’ve ever done before. Never thought I’d hear Frank White “freekin’ these bitches like Jodeci” over the hackey-sack slow jam of the year. (DOWNLOAD MP3)
  • “Kids” (We Don’t Care EP version), MGMT
    The original, cheaply made version sounds like actual guileless kids stumbling into magic — the singing’s less affected, the drama less studio-enhanced, and when the vocals kick in after the electro breakdown and sound of children playing with about minute left to go, you honestly stop caring for a second what the hell they mean by a family of trees wanting to be haunted!

Beck – Vampire Voltage No. 6

New MP3s: New Roots (OMG FACTOR 100%) w/ Lupe Fiasco Remix!

The Roots
1. The Roots – 75 Bars (Black’s Reconstruction) ZP3 | MP3
“Show me the puppet that don’t need a puppeteer” go the lyrics to this new Roots single. You show us that, and we’ll show you an iPod that doesn’t need this MP3. [Nah Right]

2. Lupe Fiasco – Superstar (remix feat. Young Jeezy and T.I.) ZP3 | MP3
After a semi-disastrous sophomore album, Fiasco impressively staves off irrelevance with this solid remix featuring Young Jeezy, T.I., and a pretty sweet X-Men reference. [Just a Moment]

3. Grizzly Bear – While You Wait for the Others (live on KCRW) ZP3 | MP3
This new, hypermelodic, reverb-soaked, as-yet-unreleased track is probably now the best thing in Grizzly Bear’s arsenal, and even though it’s only Thursday, we’re pretty comfortable declaring it the best MP3 you’ll download this week. [Deaf Indie Elephants]

4. Chromeo – Bonafide Lovin’ (Hatchmatik remix feat. Teki Latex)
Chromeo’s song about the advantages of loving an older man makes us feel better about getting older, but Teki Latex’s use of The Neverending Story as a metaphor for sex has ruined our childhood. [Discobelle]

5. Portishead – Silence These guys haven’t released an album since 1998. But they’re back! And they sound more or less the way they did in 1998. [Nocna Hudba]

Mail Call #1 (Mostly About In Rainbows)

Here is our first Mail Call post. I will basically bunch up a lot of cool links that have made their way to my inbox every Wednesday and Friday. Email me here and find your link up, unless its complete trash.

First of the many In Rainbow links we have for you (its only been some 30 hours since its release) comes from extrawack!

They have figured out a way to Download Raidohead In Rainbows Album Art for iPods and Zunes.

Flickr’s got an In Rainbows album art pool here.

If you are unsure how to add album art to iTunes, here’s how to do it.

Here’s how you do it for Zune.

Some of my favorite “Album Covers” are…
Mail Call #1 (Mostly About In Rainbows) music
Mail Call #1 (Mostly About In Rainbows) music

iGIF gives us the heads up on one of the first In Rainbows reworks. That didn’t take long did it? Sweden’s Mojib picked “Videotape”, a damned good track, to remix. I prefer this remix, I think.

mp3: Radiohead: Videotape (Mojib Remix)

I know, I know, four In Rainbow links might be pushing obsession but, you know what, I DON’T CARE. Reader DJN has informed me of a In Rainbows live compilation foudn on TUBE. It’s pretty decent here are my picks:

mp3: Radiohead – Faust Arp (Live)

mp3: Radiohead – 15 Step (Live)

mp3: Radiohead – Reckoner (Live)

mp3: Radiohead – Jigsaw Falling Into Place (Live)

Jango.com is a new Social Internet Radio site (still in Beta — 3 invites!!) you create your own radio station by selecting your favorite artists — then you share your station with all your friends. Jango also connects you with other members with similar tastes (much like last.fm). Although there are little quirks here and there, Jango is a not bad at all. Check it out.

Reader Mike sent me a link to an emocapella rendition of Taking Back Sunday’s “Cute Without the E”. In his words…

this is so bad you’ll actually feel your face turn.

emocapella basically says it all.

i just threw up a little in my mouth.

This Recording has a fantastic Ten Thoughts From My First Listening Of In Rainbows Post. Very inspiring, indeed.
