Grizzly Bear: "Knife (Girl Talk Remix)" [MP3]

That boy Gillis is at it again. Following up a fairly lackluster Peter Bjorn and John remix and a bangin' New Year's set, Girl Talk returns to repackage another Pitchfork favorite for the dancefloor, and this time around he actually employs the mash-up skills that made him a hit in the first place. Whether or not it works is for you to decide.

Gillis slices and dices Grizzly Bear's "Knife" (from the much-loved Yellow House LP), buttering it up with what sounds like the opening to Tears for Fears' "Shout", mashing in a liberal portion of Clipse's "Wamp Wamp"-- including Slim Thug's entire chorus and Pusha's verse-- and stabbing in a dash of this and that to color Ed Droste's cryptic queries.

Girl Talk is out there right now, in fact, making the kids move their bodies in indecent fashion across the U.S. Parents: do you know where your hip, young children are right now?

Grizzly Bear, likewise, hit the road soon (as you know), doing for our minds and senses of beauty what Gillis does for our hips and rumps.

And speaking of rump-shakers, CSS recently revealed to NME.com that they're going to have their way with Grizzly Bear's "Knife" as well, covering the song for their own licentious purposes. After talking to the feisty Brazilians and giving the thumbs up, the Grizz also accepted an invitation to return the favor and cover a CSS jam. The Internet: bringing people together who probably don't belong together, because it's funny. [MP3 here].

Asobi Seksu: "Strings (Glass Factory Remix)" [MP3]

Glass Factory give "Strings" dancing legs on this pleasant enough Asobi Seksu remix, though things do get a little uncomfortable when they let Yuki's vocal lines play uninterrupted over a repetitive synth line that is clearly out of tune with her. It's a failed "Everything in Its Right Place" there for a minute, but the beat takes over again and steers the track back into the dark dance territory where it started.

If you're thinking you might want to actually dance to the sweet and tangy sounds of AS' Citrus live, you can see the band on their upcoming North American tour, to which they have recently added seven dates. [MP3 here].
