Today's Quick Mention:  Need something to do tonight?  Then attend the Prototype Fashion Freakout at the Mohawk.  Doors are at 8pm, funnyman Matt Bearden is hosting, the Carrots are playing and a very nice reader by the name of Zoe will be working.  That's called a complete package, right?  I think so.
 
Why? didn't exactly (in my eyes, anyway) continue their incredible album streak with last year's Eskimo Snow, but it's impossible to remember that when the band is chugging along and calling in artists like the brilliant Amp Live to craft a remix EP based on said full length.  See below for my favorite selection off the five-track effort titled One Dark Eskimo.  Enjoy.

:Why? - Blackest Purse (Amp Live Remix):  I tend to think of remixes as good songs turned into something I'm not that interested in hearing, so this should probably just be labeled as an alternate version.  Plus, it's not like Amp Live really does anything crazy to this track, he just presents a very nifty shift from the original's dark and moody sound to one that's much warmer and accessible.  Now if only I could decide if I like his take more.


Why? - Song Of The Sad Assassin
