Mid-week Vids #12

Yes, I skipped 11...it was in the works last week but then I got sidetracked. It will be up soon though. In the meantime, I'm jumping straight to #12. This video combines many of my loves, namely:

1. Adidas (seriously...the blog colors are inspired by a pair I had, the kicks the "t's" in "showtrotta" are wearing in the header are another)
2. Pilooski
3. Pilooski's edit of Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons' "Beggin"



Ups to Miquee Le Teque for (unknowingly) bringing this to my attention - btw you can download that fine Pilooski edit over at his blog.

Download: Simian Mobile Disco vs. Deerhunter

I'd never (to my knowledge at least) heard a Deerhunter song despite them being blogged about all over the place recently, until yesterday. Check out this edit the lovely British duo, Simian Mobile Disco, did of their their track "Octet":

Download: Deerhunter - Octet (Simian Mobile Disco edit).

It kind of reminds me of some early Chemical Brothers stuff (though a tad more noisy).
