Hold on Children
I couldn't stand Death From Above 1979 when I first heard them back in the day. There was something about the sound I just couldn't enjoy it. But then B sent me an awesome mix CD with this remix. I had no idea who it was since he didn't send along a playlist, but it sounded familiar. Turns out it was DFA1979 and I'm eating my previous (hateful) words to say that this is possibly the best track I've heard in 2006 (it was released on their remix record Romance Bloody Romance back in November, I'm behind OK?). Of course, I will say that the track is bouyed by the beautiful sounds of Owen Pallett's (aka Final Fantasy) violin and I've always liked him. So there. And now, ladies and germs, I give you:
Death from Above 1979's "Black History Month" (Girl-on-Girl Remix w/ Final Fantasy)
yay dfa (and FF of course).
somehow i will also get you to love maroon 5

It's "Luno" from the remix album. I think it's OK, my favourite is "Plans" remixed by Mogwai.
