Phoenix-The Remixes

From Cadillac commercials to SNL, Phoenix has kinda been everywhere the past few months. By now it's safe to say that Phoenix has become a full blown French phenomenon, much like Gerard Depardieu in the 90's. Only time will tell if their 4th album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, holds up as well as Green Card did.
With an album filled with so many amazing songs, it is only logical that a gazillion remixes be born. In the past week we've already seen remixes of "Fences" by Animal Collective and the Soft Pack. The former sounding like, duh, Animal Collective, and the latter sounding like a lost Velvet Underground track that would make Warhol proud.
With that said, my favorite remix so far comes from FelipeMusica. I don't know much about Felipe other than he is French and that he's made an easy, breezy, super fantastique, reggae remix of "1901." This remix is the perfect background music for my dream vacation to Jamaica. Red Stripe, jerk chicken, reggae music and Phoenix! As fall and cold weather slip into our lives again, let this be our lead track on the soundtrack to our daydreams.

Doesn't Gerard have a nude scene in Green Card or is that just me fantasizing again...fun fact...did you know the lead singer of Phoenix (Thomas Mars) is Sophia Coppola's baby daddy? I didnt' until last night.
