kinda a yawner of a killers remix, dontcha think?

such great source material and all he did was basically throw a straight 4/4 kick under it...

yeah, extremely boring - there's also another version on the 12" that i've yet to hear, but assume to be highly similar. the original is quite danceable on it's own, but there's still so much that a different remixer could have done with it (and it really bugs me that they use the same verse guitar loop for the pre-chorus, despite the chord change!)

Has anyone heard the King Unique mix of this?
It's supposedly doing quite well in the sets of some djs.

Zane Lowe played a wicked remix of this on his radio 1 show last night, but I don't think it was either the King Unique or the other mix on the official vinyl release. Any ideas?!

Alright, I'm wrong - it was the The Killers - 'Somebody Told Me (King Unique Vocal Mix)' (Lizard King)
