Apathy Remixes

Alright, so normally this would take the form of an artist profile, but to be honest, I really know nothing about Apathy and don't have the time to investigate further, as my History of Photography final paper (25% of my final grade, fuck) is breathing down my neck. And yes, hip hop is normally Everett's thing, but I'm making an exception here. Earlier tonight Ben (from Videoteque and Work For It) brightened my relatively-bleak night by hooking me up with Apathy's "It Takes A Seven Nation Army To Hold Us Back", which just defines hotness, and I still haven't gotten over Apathy's "Banquet" remix, which I posted a little over a month ago with my Bloc Party Always New Depths rarities compilation. While the various rappers' featured on these two tracks' (one of which is Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park) lyrics are juvenile at best, the beats on these songs are just awesome, as their sampled from two of my favorite songs of the last few years.

Also, the "Banquet" remix, aside from being ridiculously hot, is worth listening to just so you can hear Mike Shinoda's "I'm fuckin' awesome when I'm rockin' the booth" line, as it never ceases to bring a smile to my face. WARNING: Fiery hotness below.

MP3s: [both highly recommended]
"It Takes A Seven Nation Army To Hold Us Back" (ft. Emilio Lopez) - Apathy
"Banquet" (Remix ft. Mike Shinoda & Styles of Beyond) - Apathy

2 Many DJs has a mix of Seven Nation from that one festival a year or so ago (Badlands??) that is just amazing. Much better than the one here, which is marred by the juvenile "rapping". The real hip hop is over here!

It's a cold day in Hell that either of these qualify as "fiery hotness".... absolute rubbish.

Where does he say "I'm fuckin' awesome when I'm rockin' the booth"? I've been listening for ages trying to here it!

This is amazing! They both are! Hopefully I'll be able to use them next year for one of the hip hop recital tracks. The beat is easy to follow and my is it catchy. ;)

Okay, so where can I buy this Apathy remix? I've searched Amazon and Bloc Party's site but I'm not finding anything...

When I play it on iTunes it for some reason doesn't like to start at the beginning; it continues where it left off. It also seems to be in the podcast category, as the advertising section of my iTunes turns pink when it plays, no longer advertising albums.
