The Weekend Remixes

Two Door Cinema Club - Undercover Martyn Flexin' It (Passion Pit Remix) (buy)
Marina and the Diamonds - I Am Not A Robot (Passion Pit Remix) (soundcloud) (buy)

Buzzy band this week, Two Door Cinema Club sounds like another Ben Gibbard rip-off, but in better taste than Owl effing City. The Passion Pit remix finds its place between the electronic beeps and buzzes of The Postal Service and the post-emo pop of Death Cab For Cutie. As for the band in general, I can't figure out what they are (tell me this doesn't sound just like DCFC). There is an untenable association in my mind linking them to New Pornagraphers.

This Marina and the Diamonds remix is topping Hype Machine I know, but it fits the theme of Passion Pit remixes too nicely to ignore. What I lack for in originality I make up for in timeliness. Plus, who doesn't love the lyric "You are not a robot, not a robot" mixed over PP sweeps and filters, only to hear them drop out and hear from a robotic talk box: "I am not a robot."
