:papercutz’s self-description is “adventurous pop music” so on first introduction a few months ago, I knew it was right up my alley. Recently I was approached by a member of the band with this new official remix of Sun Glitters’ “Love Me.” Sun Glitters, of course, has been covered by Pitchfork and Altered Zones.
A toning down of the original track, which itself is quite ambient and mellow, :papercuts has created a remix filled with cinematic lucidity. The remix brings an ethereal quality to the song whose rises and falls are dramatic but not brash. :papercuts definitely brings a new sensibility to the song in a great way.
Maybe Frank and Pooch will agree? ; )
The track is on a 17-track album of Sun Glitters remixes called everything could be remodeled and that’s fine! featuring Teen Daze, Blackbird Blackbird, NIVA, Essay and more (California’s Ufolk Records).
Epic Records and Legacy Recordings will release newly restored and expanded deluxe editions of Vs. and Vitalogy, the second and third albums from Pearl Jam that broke all initial U.S. SoundScan records and secured the band’s reputation as a preeminent force in American music. Each be available on CD, LP and digital formats on Monday, March 28th. Vs. and Vitalogy will also be available together, with bonus tracks, in a limited edition collector’s boxed set which will also include a gatefolded double vinyl LP and CD of Live at the Orpheum Theater, Boston, April 12, 1994 as well as an exclusive digital download of the entire concert.
To celebrate, the band will be giving away an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Guitar. To enter, the band wants to see you perform a guitar cover of their song “Animal.” To enter, head to: http://www.totalassault.com/contests/246/id/03469/
