Moullinex feat Peaches –“Maniac”
I like a good cover; I a cover that turns out better the original. A rare occurrence to be sure, but Moullinex and Peaches manage here to blow Michael Sembello’s ADHD-laden source material out of the...
View ArticleChromeo –“Hot Mess” (Moustache Machine remix)
Moustache Machine defines himself as “a cosmic nu-disco producer from Paris” who “likes cheeseburgers.” After listening to the guy’s remix of Chromeo’s “Hot Mess,” his mini bio really does make sense....
