killing for love

If I was in Calgary this weekend….

I’d be at Sled Island. Wow, check out that lineup. To name a few, Broken Social Scene, Yo La Tengo, Mogwai, Secret Machines and The Dodos will play the headlining spots/stage with a slew of other bands playing various venues are the city all week.

IMF fave Jose Gonzalez will also be playing the festival on Saturday. He’s doing some North American Dates to support the In Our Nature Remixes EP, which was released on Earth Day. Its a digital only EP with tracks remixed by Swedes Todd Terje, Penchenga Nord, Lanber & Skogehall and Beatfanatic (check out his version of Killing For Love).

Elephant Shell (remixed)

Been listening to the remixes of Tokyo Police Club‘s new record Elephant Shell in the last couple of days. Its definitely grown my interest in this band. On the 5 song 7″ there are remixes by artists like Dntel, Flowers Forever, and The Good Life. The best one is Field Music‘s verison of Tessellate, head to Pasta Primavera to grab it. **Also grab that Beatfanatic remix of Jose Gonzalez Killing For Love. Awesome.

Here is Tom Campesinos!’s version of Tessellate. What do you think? I think the metal garbage pail snare is a little much at the beginning… it kind of blends in near the end.

Speaking of Jose, here’s a video Jose doing Teardrop.
