  I think listening to all the samples straight through was a mistake as I like the full version of Tarpit...I am now looking forward to it a lot more.

  I think Tarpit sounds interesting and ethereal and I like it a lot. It feels compressed and spare and still has some of the expansiveness of the original song. In the early 1980s KROQ did a great show called MV3 on non-cable TV that played videos by Soft Cell, Devo, Romeo Void, The Specials, Modern English, Human League, Falco, Billy Idol, Malcolm McLaren, Men Without Hats, Musical Youth, Wall of Voodoo, Oingo Boingo, etc. This remixed Tarpit could play on that show if they made a video of it with lots of eyeliner, asymmetrical hair, and triangles.

  I really dig it! It's great to hear new takes on great songs. Especially from two great minds that I respect!

  I hope Brett at The Electronic Anthology Project can forgive me for it but I had to do a video for Dinosaur Jr's "Tarpit"
  

  
  Wish I had time to compile enough videogame clips to tell a story to the tune but this was a quick and dirty scratch for an itch I had :)

  I've always been really interested in tastes in music and specifically the relationship between liking something on its own merit or purely because of a preconditioned attachment to it. I really think if I just heard this out of context(an impossible hypothesis to prove now) I wouldn't like it. But because of who it is I try harder to find things to like and put aside my 'normal' logic or just general taste for things because of a wanting to enjoy it.
  
  Sorry I'm not trying to ruin music :)
  
  I guess by really over thinking, this isn't for me. Not enough Guuuuitar!
  -I'll still buy it though .....................................

  Yes, at rough trade in london they had a few hundred people outside and even tweeted that most of the first shoppers were scalpers. It's annoying but at least dino seems to be not to badly marked up!
  Could be worse some lady gaga tickets are £1000 in London :)
  
  
  Although someone on Discogs has the wooden cassette dino tapes for sale at $300 Ha!!!
