With the official release of Cross the Dancefloor as a single last week, Treasure Finger's ode to two people taking up the whole damn dancefloor was the official "Song to Remix". The offical "Song to Remix" for this week? Without a doubt it's Mercury by Bloc Party. The single was released via the band's official website this week in various formats and it comes with remixes from Herve, Flosstradamus, and CSS. All three remixes are great and cover varying genres of dance music but the CSS remix wins out for me because of the stripped down sound. CSS brought the song back into the realm of rock by focusing on the guitar and drums, cutting most of the electronic elements of the original.

But, as I said, all the remixes are badass so I'm including the Flosstradamus remix also. I think my Carl Cox-deifying friend would say it has a "deep house" feel and even though I usually try to ignore him, I think he would be partly correct in this case. He is correct except for the part where he idolizes Carl Cox.

Great...the music is great, but has anyone noticed that miley cyrus sounds like a coke head who snorted to large rocks of up her nose. You may think this has nothing to do with Bloc Party but Fuck You; it has everything to do with Bloc Party.....(to be continued)
Keep it Gangsta bitches!
