Oh, how your indie rock heart swelled last year to the sounds of Phoenix. Wolfgang Amadeus, front to back, was the bumble gum stuff stuck to your inner lobes and we're willing to admit it got to us a little too.
The horror, the horror of involuntarily tapping your foot at a social gathering that plays this record. Not all your friends own phonographs and play Neu records at their potluck parties. The majority, incidentally the ones with the best dishes, play the indie celebrated by the sworn enemy–it's less confrontational. Now you're faced with a new love of beer-sautéed Brussels sprouts and the torment of the catchiest song of '09 on radio rotation in your skull.
Embrace it with us by making this Friday night an evening of major indie-remixed splendor. Memory Tapes is on a remix rampage with last year's contribution to Adult Swim compilation ATL RMX being one of our favsies. Memory Tapes continues the fine work with remixes to Phoenix's “1901” and a spot on the Mad Decent/Diplo currated Free Gucci mixtape. You can scoop up plenty more remixes at Memory Tapes' We're Tapes blog.
