Forget about collaborating with Kanye West, it’s all about scoring an appearance with They Might Be Giants or Yo Gabba Gabba! (looking at you, Weezer). With artists finding alternative ways to survive, some turn to advertising, while others become the Late Night house band (looking at you, The Roots).

While so many great indie bands come and go, it’s reassuring to see that Film School stays in the game. With a decade of albums under their belt, Fission (LP #4) kicks off with a bang of track called “Heart Full Of Pentagons.” A Handsome Furs-esque drum machine rock beat guides the song with layered percussion and big sustaining guitar riffs.

Fool’s Gold brings Free Energy‘s post-punk tune ‘Bang Pop’ into the 21st century with Beck-like electronic production. The original’s loose, garage band feel becomes almost unrecognizable as it turns into a totally new dance track. And that’s what making a good remix is all about!
