So it's a day late, but here a few new tracks to get you through the middle-of-the-week blues:
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - "Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix)"
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have been remixed to death following the release of their excellent It's Blitz! earlier this year. A-Trak's reimagining of YYY's "Heads Will Roll" takes the synth-heavy rock and transforms it into a dancefloor-ready banger.
Alex Metric - "Shirley You Can't Be Serious?"
I have no context for who Alex Metric is, but I understand he makes dance music. I also understand that he appreciates Airplane!, and titling a song "Shirley You Can't Be Serious?" is enough to get me on the hook. It also helps that the song is pure mania.
Finally, the Song of the Day today is by Princeton, which is obviously neither Art Brut nor Dirty Projectors (like we promised on Monday). The reason for this is two-fold: first, they opened for Art Brut last night and were a big reason why the show was surprisingly great (review is forthcoming) and second, our friend Ira turned 26 today, and he went to Princeton. "Show Some Love When Your Man Gets Home" was excellent in concert and elicited a laugh when they announced it. Between that and the welcomed, swelling horns, it's quite the lovely listen.
