Somehow, we are not sick of talking about the new Goldfrapp record

Here is a slightly dated photo of Alison Goldfrapp, flanked by two women dressed as wolves.



...in leather bikinis. Gives a whole new meaning to "sheep in wolves clothing", right? (Actually not really).

It's been no secret around these parts that we've been "spinning" the new Goldfrapp album--one that we promptly filed under "UTTERLY AMAZING"--non stop. The great thing about the Frapp of Gold releasing a folky throwback to Felt Mountain is that there's now ample room for amazing producers to make amazing remixes of already amazing songs (see the undeniably genius Hercules and Love Affair), which is possibly our favorite thing in the world.

You may remember Kimono Kops from when we basically had a coronary over his Sally Shapiro and Bloc Party remixes last year, when he changed an awesome song and a shit song, respectively, into Amazing Pop Songs. He's now repeated the formula with "A & E" by Goldfrapp, and while we will state for the record that the original is so good it might just re-inflate the American economy and ensure Barack Obama's presidency (again, not really), the remix remains Very Good Indeed. And guess what?

IT IS HERE AND IT IS NOW.

Don't thank us.

The new Kimono Kops remix is AMAZING

This is Thomas Dören, a.k.a. Kimono Kops.



Kimono Kops is currently our favorite remixer, having already reworked M.I.A.'s "Boyz" and made Sally Shaprio's "Hold Me So Tight" even better than it was previously (a magical POP FEAT unto itself, music fans). This morning we got a veritable sonic treat in our inbox, as Thomas has emailed us his brand new remix: Bloc Party's "I Still Remember".

Bloc Party - "I Still Remember (Kimono Kops remix)"

This is the perfect remix because it manages to turn a really shit song into a really good song. The problem with the original version of "I Still Remember" was that it was trying so hard to be all pensive and gay it completely forgot to have a decent chorus that wasn't a half-assed attempt to rip off Bronski Beat. On Kimono Kops' version though, the song is transformed into a bouncy electro-bubble of worship and longing, as we expect Kele & Co. intended the song to be in the first place. This is pop perfection and if the world is really going to degenerate into ecological disaster over the next 50 years, it will all be worth it just so a remix like this could be made.

So well done Kimono Kops, we can't wait to hear what you have up your sleeve next...

Ok, everyone just back up for a quick sec

We know we just posted about Swedish europop princess Sally Shapiro, but since then a few critical points have been brought to our attention:

1. She is amazing.
2. Sally isn't her real namd and she doesn't perform live.
3. There's a fucking AMAZING (and we do mean AMAZING) remix of her already AMAZING (and we mean AMAZING) song "Hold Me So Tight" by Kimono Kops.

Sally Shapiro - "Hold Me So Tight (Kimono Kops remix)"

This may possibly be Sally's Best Song Ever™. It's like the best Ladytron song they never wrote (and probably never will, are we right). Sally's record is coming out on Paperbag (same label as Tokyo Poilce Club) so be sure to cop that shit as soon as it hits your local indie retailer.
