New Death From Above 1979 - "Better Off Dead"

Razorblade Runner posted an awesome track from Death From Above 1979's new remix album, Romance Bloody Romance, a few weeks ago, and I finally got my hands on a copy. Check out this cover from seminal Boston punks La Peste, who have a two great tracks in the unofficial Peel singles box set. Watch them perform the original here.

Pitchfork hates it. Worst release of '05 they say. Clearly they forgot about the Weezer catastrophe.

Of course, nothing beats BEP...
