It's ok, better than the original. The one thing I did like was the guitar sound. The vocals were kind of annoying though. 6/10

Das Racist rocks dude. This song was really good, funny lyrics and that enigma sample was cool. Only problem with it was the autotuning near the end, not a fan of that. Otherwise really good song.
8/10

I haven't heard this song before. It's from their latest album, right? I stopped following them after Standards, so I have no idea what direction they took after it. Hmmm...it's still Tortoise, but sounds like they went back in time of 70s fusion bands. I am curious to check the whole album now. 7/10


Live Skull - 'Fort Belvedere' (Cloud One, 1986)

I dig it. The dialogue works well, and musically, it's interesting. It's not something that necessarily immediately resonates with my mood, but it's definitely well done. I'll have to say that lyrically, it's interesting as well. The beginning seems kind of repetitive, but I'm sure it's the type of song that has the potential to really grow on me. 7.5/10.0

I liked it a lot. The clapping percussion, picking guitar chords, and singing all worked really well together. The lyrics probably took a back seat to the easy listening a bit though. 8.5/10

And to keep things going:
This is a film that uses the song Mr. Nichols by Coldcut

I really liked it at the beginning but once the vocals began I was turned off. I'd give it a 5/10.
