Today's music - back to remixing

Scottish remixer, heavily influenced by 1980s US pop

Gossip - Heavy Cross (B U R N S Remix): http://rcrdlbl.com/artists/B_U_R_N_S/track/Gossip_-_Heavy_Cross_B_U_R_N_S_Remix

Three takes on a very popular song (MGMT's "Kids"): http://www.etmusiquepourtous.com/2009/07/mgmt-kids-official-video-nouveu/

Perhaps unsurprisingly I like the third version (the 80Kidz Re-Edit mix) the best. It's not that I mind single male voices with guitar, but that I feel the electronica and beats are key elements in what makes this poppy confection stand out from other poppy confections and I like the way the remix works with those elements.

Special extra music edition

I'm too busy at work today (and also? power failures suck) to write up stories. So you get more of what I'm listening to.

Neither of these tracks is especially earth-shaking but both have features to recommend them:

http://hypem.com/#/track/857647/Florence+And+The+Machine+-+Cosmic+Love
Good vocals and I like the way it transitions from beats to voice+harp and then back again.

http://hypem.com/#/track/857290/Sneaky+Sound+System+-+16+Flight+Facilities+Remix
The track is in English, but the blog post is in Spanish (http://neonized.net/blog/general/flight-facilities/). If one of my bilingual friends would like to translate that'd be cool. The remix is a bit on the poppy side, but I seem to be more tolerant of that these days than I generally am.
