That's gonna be awesome! I've been waiting rahter impatiently for
something to be released by Kid Koala, but I am especially excited about
the Tortoise remix. I think they are the greatest thing out there in the
music world these days (personally), and speaking of which I was wondering
how many of
you out there are listening to them. I know their history is pretty
rooted in indie rock territory, but they've been getting a lot of press
outside of that arena and Im curious if the 12" series of remixes they
did a while back won anyone over to their regular stuff.
If you haven't heard them yet, or are wondering where to start, go out
right now and get "Millions now living will never die." very good stuff.
"Djed" is simply amazing.
