the black ghosts - repetition kills you


i first learned about this song from a great indie party mix by phdj that i downloaded here from the blog HYPERBOLE. just the other day daniel asked me to play just that song instead of the whole mix and i realized i had never heard the whole song.  i was surprised by how much i liked it, it's so much better than the tiny treatment it gets in the mix.  

the black ghosts are a uk-based duo who started working over the internet and created quite a bit of music before they had ever physically met.  this song actually came out two years ago, but i think it still fits well in today's music scene.  it features damon albarn, another english singer-songwriter who is best known as the lead songwriter for Gorillaz.  

the song has received plenty of remix treatment, here are several of them, none of which i feel tops the original. my favorite is probably the RAC Remix or Emperor Machine, since they stay fairly true to the original song.  What I would really like is someone to make it into an epic dance track like the Twelves remix of "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance with You"
