LET'S SEXY FIGHTING

Let's listen to some new music. And fight...sexily.


FRIENDLY FIRES


Just got back from a few days of seclusion, so I'll keep this short. The Aeroplane remix of Friendly Fires' Paris has been getting a lot of love recently...however, I prefer the original!

YEAR IN REVIEW 2008: TOP 10 COVERS


10. This Is Ivy League - Crown Of Love (Arcade Fire Cover)
When I'm feeling less epic and more bedroom, I put this version on.

09. Throw Me The Statue - If This Is It (Huey Lewis And The News Cover)
I still want The Hold Steady to cover "The Power Of Love"!

08. The Editors - Acceptable In The 80s (Calvin Harris Cover)
The Editors wisely turn this song into a nice, moody build.

07. Spoon - Peace Like A River (Paul Simon Cover)
Spoon covering Paul Simon = j*** in my pants.

06. The Chairs - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea (Neutral Milk Hotel Cover)
Hard to do NMH justice with a cover, but The Chairs pull off their soft/loud prom-styled cover excellently!

05. French Kicks - Trouble (Lindsey Buckingham Cover)
I think the French Kicks have got their new sound...

04. Dirtbombs - Sherlock Holmes (Sparks Cover)
An excellent update of a classic tune!

03. Vampire Weekend - Everywhere (Fleetwood Mac Cover)
Someone else's wet dream! Pretty well executed too.

02. La Pompe Moderne - Plus Dur, Meilleur, Plus Rapide, Plus Fort (Daft Punk Cover)
Usually stripping down Daft Punk doesn't work, but this low key acoustic take totally brings home the pork belly.

01. Ssion - Credit In The Straight World (Young Marble Giants Cover)
This might be considered the complete opposite of YMG's stripped down punk!

10. Tokyo Police Club - Juno (Ra Ra Riot/Andrew Maury Remix)
A great job of making the song more optimistic sounding!

09. Howard Johnson - Say You Wanna (Pants Re-Edit)
It's an endlessly addictive groove, just try it...

08. White Lies - Death (Crystal Castles Remix)
Crystal Castles gives White Lies the full on Underworld treatment...

07. Lykke Li - Little Bit (Aether Remix)
A simple beefing up of the beat was able to significantly change the vibe!

06. Black Kids - I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You (The Twelves Remix)
Definitely a winner, and check out the rest of The Twelves' remixes!

05. Ladyhawke - Paris Is Burning (Cut Copy Remix)
What's better than Aussies remixing a Kiwi? Sounds like the start of a joke...

04. Vampire Weekend - The Kids Don't Stand A Chance (Chromeo Remix)
It's hard to remix Vampire Weekend. Luckily, Chromeo are crack shots!

03. Feist - I Feel It All (Escort Remix)
A full on horn section for a Feist song? That's genius!

02. The Black Ghosts - Any Way You Choose To Give It (Boy 8-Bit Remix)
I could really go for more chiptune style remixes.

01. Foals - Olympic Airways (Wudwerd Vox Remix)
The perfect song for 3am. Really!

Check back tomorrow for the last of our year end wrap-up features, our top 10 covers of the year!
