My Mouth Full Of Love

Blues Explosion “Mars, Arizona (DFA Remix)” – Man, I am sooooooo glad that P Diddy invented the remix, because if it weren’t for him, we probably wouldn’t have this little gem in our lives. JSBX have been given the full-on DFA makeover, expanding their two and a half minute original into a radically different eleven minute dance-rock freakout. Jon Spencer is very effective in this context, but then, that shouldn’t be too shocking – James Murphy is kinda like a more restrained version of Spencer on the more rocking LCD Soundsystem songs. Happy Valentine’s Day, folks. I heart you and your sweet stink. (Click here to visit the official Blues Explosion site.)

Puffy “Asia No Junshin (Malcolm McLaren CD Mix)” – Or was it Puffy that invented the remix? It gets very confusing. The original version of “Asia No Junshin” is the biggest selling single in the history of Japan, but Malcolm McLaren’s remix renders the song nearly unrecognizable by crafting an entirely new song from snippets of the original vocal. This is pretty hot stuff. I would go so far to say this song is “binoculars,” even in spite of the fact that I feel faintly ridiculous using that word.
