Phoenix. Metric. U2
It’s come to my attention that Phoenix is the most remix-able band still active (as far as guitar-based bands go). I mean, has there ever been a passable rendition of a U2 song? Fred Falke came close with his effort on “Magnificent,” but it wasn’t anything to write home about. Oh, and let’s not forget that widely-panned rework of “Let Love Rule” done by Justice (the music video [and yes, it has a music video] is pretty clever though).
Anyway, I have an entire army of Phoenix remixes, but my favorite comes from the venerable Alex Metric. I think there are a few Metric mixtapes floating out there somewhere. I highly recommend them, and am far too lazy to find them for you. I do, however, have the aforementioned Phoenix song.
