I have found a reason to post about DFA 1979, thus making it a Very, Very, Very Good Day, Also because MSTRKRFT has like 3 new remixes and are awesome

Death From Above 1979 could have been the greatest band ever.
As it stands, they are number four on my list o' greatest ever.





There is a small and very finite amount of DFA 1979 material. Which is saddening. But,
by chance I found what apparently is a Demo version of "Romantic Rights"! I've listened to this song so many times the incongruence between this and the album version seem much larger than they really are but nevertheless...

Listen to this:

mp3: "Romantic Rights (Unknown Demo Version)"

weird, huh?
It's like maybe it's the master track before they put the crazy effects on JFK's bass at the beginning. And it ends differently with that stutter of Sebastien's voice...I did some research on where this came from, and found nothing.
Maybe I'm the only one in the world that has this. I found it on megaupload, and it didn't have that tag on it, it just said "Romantic Rights".

In other related awesome, I found this pretty sweet-ace mash up
of "Romantic Rights" and Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" by British mash-up crazy-man Dave Remix:

mp3: "Romantic Criminal (Dave Remix's DFA 1979 vs. Michael Jackson Edit)"

MSTRKRFT decided that they do work now,
and have put out a slew of things for your enjoyment...
Find them at Panda Toes!


R.I.P DFA 1979.
I still miss you.
