The beat is OK - it's not overly mainstream, which is good, but it's not very interesting, which is bad.

The lyrics are a bit better - he sounds a bit like an old guy complaining about the music of today, but he has a point and makes it well.

But the performance is the best: he stands there in front of an audience who probably love mainstream contemporary rap and basically tells them how s--t it is.

The only version I like (including the original) is the Phantom Eyes remix:

But I'll check out those more lo-fi versions at the website, as suggested...

Some of us do intelligently point out how derivative and relatively uninspired a lot of Indie music is, but generally what happens to us is that individuals who like a particular act will respond with unintelligent and thinly disguised insults like "If you think art can only be appreciated because it is original, then you will no doubt have a hard time appreciating art."

'Green Light' the original is very good.
'Green Light' the cover is good.

"old-school in spirit" = 'inoffensively retro and generic', which is fine for some but not so much for me.

I, and others, find the repetition (which is probably what you find boring) and slow, subtle changes hypnotic and the melodic textures ethereal.

Maybe try listening to it as you would observe a colorfield or abstract expressionist painting.

Yeah...

That remix sounds terrible, as if the producer already had the backing track and lazily just stuck the M83 parts over it.

Do you have any links to his stuff?

All I could find was a video of him on M.I.A.'s site not doing very much...

Horribly mainstream and predictable.

By the way, does anyone know if Tautou has a deal with Warner Bros? Didn't they produce her last big budget 'French' film, "A Very Long Engagement"?

I think the film is probably going to be about the lives of the Stooges off the screen - i.e. their private lives - hence, the casting.
