This is the second time I am writing this post. The first time, I somehow inadvertently deleted the whole thing, and unlike every other post where it autosaves every 10 seconds, this one decided not to. Let’s try this again.
Ah, Marina and the Diamonds, another one of the all too many groups that I hear about all the time nonstop every day always but have yet to ever listen to. Fortunately during a recent gchat with my good friend The Music Ninja, he suggested that I give this remix by Passion Pit a listen and I happen to like it quite a bit. And it also doesn’t hurt that a quick image search shows that Marina rather enjoys wearing leotards. I can buy into that.
I have a sort of love/hate relationship with Passion Pit right now. They’re coming to town next month and I’m still a little torn on whether or not I want to go. But then I listen to this remix and I think, “How can I not go?” Come on, you’ve got to admit, this is pretty great. I was a little unsure of how I felt about Marina at first, but now having listened to this a few times, I like her a lot.
I’m also a little confused on the official title of this song. Is this a remix of a rework? How does that all come about?
Marina and the Diamonds – I Am Not a Robot Flex’d Rework (Passion Pit Remix)
buy it on
or amazon




I like both the original and this new mix but VERY different feels. Passion Pit did a really good job!

If you don’t go see Passion Pit I will disown you.

I saw Passion Pit @ UC Davis’ Freeborn Hall, and although they are VERY awesome, they sort of were very ‘by-the-book’ in their set, playing the songs from Manners and their EP with little if any variation.. they did do that Cranberries cover from their Manners re-release which was reallly dope! BUT, again, i felt like I was listening to the album, but live. Coming from a huge Passion Pit fan that has listened to Manners a hell of a lot, I really enjoyed myself! If you go, I hope you do, too!
