Music Under Fire

Bloc Party news has been simmering down since Intimacy was released back on August 21st. Since then, an array of remixes have been releases, their most prominent one being their Mercury EP (iTunes UK link) which featured two other songs we didin't post here - "Flosstradamus Remix" and the "Herve Is In Disarray Remix" .

However, the list below has some great remixes, most importantly by CSS along with some of my older favorites such as "The Modern Love" and the stunning duality of Kele singing "Hunting for Witches" to the tune of Coldplay's "In My Place". Also featured are Chromeo and Does It Offend You, Yeah? (featured on our 300th post) remixed by Bloc Party.

MOST notable below, you can listen to the latest Bloc Party Remix, "Talons (Phones R.I.P Mix)", which will be available for download on iTunes' UK site as of tomorrow (10/20/08) in the UK only. From listening to the song below, I can say this is the best Bloc Party remix I've heard to date. As any Phones fan would be, I am shocked to hear it rumored that this is going to be his final remix (hence the "R.I.P." part of the remix title). If anyone has some truth to this, please leave a comment. Enjoy the list and be sure to pick up the Talons EP tomorrow...
