Britney Spears, “Circus” [Diplo Remix]
We’ve been hard on Diplo lately (but not as hard as, say, Diplo has been on Nirvana), so to make amends: his Morse Code redo of Britney’s ode to Ringling Bros. is smooth, sinister and sublime.

Wilco, “King of Carrot Flowers” [Neutral Milk Hotel Cover]
If indie rock had been invented in the deep South by people who wore overalls all the time, this is what it would sound like. Even Wilco, who haven’t been “country” in decades now, pull off a pretty respectable bluegrass burn. It doesn’t hurt that they have as their source material one of the greatest songs ever written.

Lady Rizo & “Moby,” “Whatever You Like” [T.I. Cover]
Lady Rizo and half of Kiki & Herb (we’re pretty sure, anyway) bring out the Broadway in this T.I. chart-topper, making the lyrics “late night sex, so wet, so tight” seem like they’d sound natural coming from a guy with half a porcelain mask on his face.

Franz Ferdinand, “No You Girls” [Christian Vorbeau Remix]
We sort of wish we were named Christian Vorbeau. It’s a ridiculously badass name. And then you could turn out thumping big-beat remixes of rock songs, like this one.
