I've been listening to The Cool Kids all afternoon, so I thought I'd post these tracks, both of which have been out for a while. I know Maroon 5 might not help me rack up my street cred points, but in December they released "Call and Response: The Remix Album," and The Cool Kids have given "Harder to Breathe" a good going over. I haven't fully decided how much I like it, but I'm definitely enjoying elements of it. The beat has that trademark stripped-down quality that I love in TCK, but I think there's a little too much of the original vocals at the beginning. I suppose that's because it was produced for a Maroon 5 album, but it would be nice to hear a few more Cool Kids lyrics. In addition, since summer's on the way, and it's just such a good song, listen to this remix of "Delivery Man" as well, then try and tell me you don't love it.
Also, just for good measure, here's a really good hip hop tune from Sims and Mike Mictlan of Doomtree, a rap collective from Minneapolis. It has all the eloquence of Aesop Rock with an epic beat change at the chorus. Totally dope.
