the xx - Islands


Snark Alert:  With apologies to Beach House, the xx might be the most over-hyped thing in creation since the rhythm method.  Not to say they don't make quality shit...but damn.  They're a bit too cool on the indie-webs these days.  Why?  Because that whole sphere of music has been unbelievably dull for the last year and a half, and anything marginally good gets praise/press out the ass.  Don't believe me?!  How many albums made after 2008 are getting heavy rotation status on your iPod right now?

Told ya.

ANYWAY...blogger douche-baggery aside.  I really do love this song.  It would hold up in any time period.

The xx - Islands (CHLLNGR Remix)


"Islands" really is the only jam I give any attention to from The xx, so I'm completely down with the rampant remixification* that it's been receiving.

* I just instructed Windows to add "remixification" to the spell-check dictionary.

The XX - Islands (Nosaj Thing Remix)



On an album that everyone but me seemed to love (it was cool and all), "Islands" was the one stand-out song that...how do journalist say it...resonated...with me.  I efphs with this remix too.

Florence and the Machine - You've Got The Love (The XX Remix)


This is how I like my music.  Just "left" enough that I don't get bored, but not so way out that only me and one random DJ in Berlin can appreciate it.

Side note:  Am I cool now?  I have a post that includes (The) XX.
