Marina and the Diamonds – Shampain (Fred Falke Remix)

Ah, Fred Falke. Can this man do no wrong? I’ve posted a few of his remixes, and they’re all pretty top notch. First there was that Florrie “Panic Attack” remix that I love so much. And then I heard that super old but sicker than sick “Golden Cage” remix he did for The Whitest Boy Alive only recently, an 8.5 minute burner that feels nothing like it. And while his remix of “Shampain” by Marina and the Diamonds definitely did not instantly strike me like the two aforementioned remixes did, it’s still pretty darn catchy and energy-inducing. And if that’s not enough for you, hit up another remix of the same song from our boy Pictureplane, whose 2009 album Dark Rift, had my top 20 albums of 2009 been written today, would have definitely cracked into that list. It’s actually a shame that it took me so long to realize how killer that album is.

marina and the diamonds – i am not a robot flex’d rework (passion pit remix)

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?
