Frankenstein on the '09 Dancefloor

When you spend most of your days downloading torrents, reading Gorilla vs. Bear or Pitchfork, and listening to nothing but your iPod, it's easy to forget about the dreck of FM radio. Sure, there's the occasional reminder, like the Grammys, a friend who incessantly complains about Beyoncé's "Single Ladies," a prepubescent sibling, or a grating car ride sans-aforementioned iPod, but for the most part, all that ish is avoidable.

That being the case, whatever does permeate your hip bubble must be either really catchy, really awful, or in most cases, both. I'm surprising no one when I assume everyone has heard Ke$ha's ridiculous "TiK ToK" or Miley's "Party in the U.S.A." I even caught my Polish grandmother humming the latter after she told me it reminded her of landing in Ellis Island.

Both tracks kindof dominated pop radio in '09, but I'm still hearing these songs when I go out, which is my excuse for posting the two remixes below.

The Hood Internet rework of "TiK ToK" is a clever mash-up with YACHT's "Summer Song" that's the biggest remix departure from the original I've heard (though that Fred Falke Remix is still sweet). The real highlight of this post is the (albeit old) Biggie vs. Miley track: "Party and Bullshit in the U.S.A." The title really says it all.
