you know rac. of course you do. they’re a remix artist collective (rac, geddit?) put together by andre allen anjos and have remixed everybody from bloc party to au revoir simone, from the shins to chromeo. about three years ago they put out a collection of their remixes (although there are a hundred more besides). they’ve just released a second one.

apart from it being generally brilliant, the best thing about it is that once again it is free. to give you a taster i’ve got their fantastic work on ‘armistice’ by my third favourite french band, phoenix, below.

to download the lot, just head over to this link and voila. you don’t even need to register or any of that shit.

that right there is joshua river brown. he’s six, my son and lives in wales. it an total act of nepotism, i asked him to listen to some music on youtube while he’d staying with me for a few days. here are his thoughts.

summer camp. round the moon
“it’s good. i like the bike.”

the maccabees. it’s only love (video by barry pilling) – (‘first love’)
“the song is okay, but the video is really weird, but clever. especially the mouth.”

phoenix. lisztomania
“the song is very cool. my favourite. i like whatever that in the air is called.”

he’s a man of very few words. actually, he’s not. usually he won’t stop talking, but he sort of got straight to the point here.
