ILLN3SS

New remix from The Teenagers. They've taken Goodbooks' The Illness and made it pretty nice, pretty 80's-solid, and pretty Teenagers-esque. And ill, obviously. I usually think indie bands sound somewhat punchy and disoriented remixed, but Goodbooks always sound pretty cool with a few electro add-ins, sort of like how The Black Ghosts always sound pretty cool remixed. Oh, and the Herve Dub track is pretty sick, especially about 1:20 in, slowly builds up from there.

Two weeks or so ago I had a listen to Goodbooks' single Passchendaele. For those of you who aren't human history references (pffsh, losers), Passchendaele was sort of a sub-war that took place during WWI. I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to pronouncing the song title/"war", but as far as describing the song itself I can tell you that it's pleasing, and worth your eartime. Goodbooks are almost too pop-y for me (Think Kooks, Pigeon Detectives, etc.). If anything you can at least learn about WWI. I remember when I was in like, 10th grade, I used to make my History teacher mix CDs of bands that had to do with history. EX: Louis XIV, Franz. I was such a cool 10th grader.
