Rumors Remixed by Submarines

i’m not a huge fan of remixes. mainly because all it ususually is is turning a great folk song into a techno song. which can be fun at times, but not something i am gonna listen to over and over. but this new remix of a josh ritter song i think is worth listening. i am really enjoying it. instead of just adding a bunch of extra crap… they just accentuated all the horn and sax parts and laid a real sweet beat underneath it all. so crank up the volume, make sure the bass is on, and get ready to dance.

so apparently the song is too big for me to upload on here, but you should still go here to this guys blog and download it.

but for those of you who have never even heard the original, here it is. i hope it makes your ears bleed.

    The re-mix is a re-mix in the truest sense of the word – instead of morphing or changing the song, it seems like they just reorganized the parts. I almost like this version better. It’ll never stand out as “The Submarine Mix of ‘Rumors,’” but if this were stuck on the Josh Ritter album instead of the original version, I don’t think anyone would bat an eye. I don’t really think it makes itself necessary to exist, though. I don’t think it brings any interesting artistic vision to it.

    But all that jargon is moot point: Anything Josh Ritter does is golden.
