Justice Render Coldplay Single Excellently Unrecognizable
1. Coldplay, “Violet Hill (Justice’s Death and All His Friends Remix)â€
We’re not going to listen to some Coldplay song no matter how much some critics might love it. Oh, it’s a Justice remix? And it sorta rocks? That’s different, then. [Lemur Blog]
2. Sisqó, “Thong Song (Baby Diamonds Remix)â€
Perhaps sensing that Kellz is about to be defenestrated by the Chicago legal system, Baby Diamonds decided to play kingmaker with this electro mix of Sisqó’s annoyingly catchy hit. [Southside Discotheque]
3. Jeff Daniels, “Fashionably Lateâ€
ScarJo’s record has been called a vanity project, but this folksy blues track from actor Jeff Daniels takes it to a whole new level, when he exclaims, “I could kiss myself, but I don’t know where to start.†Get a room, Daniels! [Daytrotter]
4. Tilly and the Wall, “Pot Kettle Blackâ€
If Tilly and the Wall’s shout-along choruses and tap-dancing rhythm section usually sound like the high-school theater club, then this new song sounds like a cheerleading squad full of mean girls. [Brontosaur.us]
5. Wu-Tang Clan, “Stomp (Bloody Beetroots Remix)â€
Bloody Beetroots remixes are more ubiquitous and harder to get rid of than the cockroaches in the Wu-Tang track they’re working with here. [Hyperbole] —Ehren Gresehover
