Bloc Party - Zephyrus (Holy Fuck Remix)
Saint Etienne - Spring (Air France Remix)
Johnny Foreigner - Choose Your Side And Shut Up (JOCKS Remix)

Well, not regularly. But I put my hands on a couple of remixes over the weekend and thought I’d share them.

First up: Holy Fuck take on Bloc Party and make them sound like … well, old Bloc Party.  I’d offer some snide commentary about how the original song sounds like a lackluster remix and this the other real song, but I feel like a lot of far more widely read people have already paddled that boat.  Needless to say, I can’t stop listening to this and I haven’t ouched Intimacy since I got it.  Draw what conclusions you may.

Next: Saint Etienne gets a bit of life in their step courtesy of Air France.  I’m not the first to post this (I checked) and I’m breaking my general outlook towards blogging by doing this, but Foxbase Beta is absolutely genius and worthy of the praise.  I’ve been so-so on the newer material but this brings me right back to when I thought Cracknell and Friends were the best band in the world.

Finally: I’ve been looking for a time to post this, but haven’t seen a good opening.  So have it anyway.  JOCKS made a song I generally don’t care for into something fun as hell that’ll be in my bedroom disco playlists for months.
