New Vampire Weekend - "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" (The Teenagers Remix)
I generally read Hipster Runoff for the punchlines, but Carles posted a pretty interesting remix of "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" by cheeky Parisian synth-pop trio the Teenagers, maybe known best for their various remixes of Air, Chromeo, Black Ghosts, Goldfrapp, and Simian Mobile Disco, among others, as well as their love for Scarlett Johansson and the one dude's annoying mustache. They loosen up the bouncy, tightly wrung "Cape Cod," turning it into a spacious, more percussively explosive, late-night take on one of Vampire Weekend's signature tracks. It's like Ezra & Co. via the M83 Milky Way.
As HRO put it:
I remember back during the Remix Economy's golden age in 2k6k7, the Teenagers were able to deliver on a wide range of remixes, usually taking the song to a new level. That's what remixes are for, yall...to appeal 2 more people. <3 cross branding <3
What would the cross-branded/remix version of this shirt look like?

I love VW...but this just makes me sad. The reason I like them is because they dont sound like all of the other synth crap thats out there...and then this comes out. I mean, really guys? Go back, start over and dont this again and I might forgive you.

I'd like inform you that Scarlett Johansson (actress)actually is a clone from original person,who has nothing with acting career.Clone was created illegally using stolen biomaterial.Original Scarlett Galabekian last name is nice, CHRISTIAN young lady.I'll tell more,those clones(it's not only one)made in GERMANY-world leader manufacturer of humans clones,it's in Ludwigshafen am Rhein,N. Bavaria,Mr.Helmut Kohl home town.You can't even imaging the scale of the cloning activity.But warning.H.Kohl staff 100% controlling their clones spreading around the world,some of them're NAZI type disciplined and mind controlled,be careful get close with clones you will be controlled too.Original family didn't authorize any activity with stolen biomaterials,no matter what form it was created in,it's all need to be back to original family control in Cedars-Sinai MedicalCenter in LA.I'm sure that controlling any clones activity is US military operation.Original Scarlett isn't engage,by the way
