File this in the overlooked gems dept: after one of the recent office clean ups at XDU I was looking thru some bins o' CDs. Mostly looking for envelopes that might have been addressed to me, or to World Music Director, that had gotten overlooked. Didn't find any of that but I did find a promo CD from last November -- remixes of "Wipe That Sound" by Mouse on Mars. Two of which feature Mark E. Smith. (or Mark E. Fucking Smith as the handy label hypesheet that accompanied that CD single helpfully pointed out) One is sorta weird Mark E. Smith spoken word over snippets of "Wipe That Sound" and is merely marvelous. The other is a full-on remix, using a lot more of the song (which is easily my fave ever Mouse on Mars track) and its just monstro. It's months old and only 6 songs so it's probably not playlistable but I'll be getting it back to the station this weekend so it'll be in the library and available for on air spinning.
...like fun
