Razorblade Runner posted an awesome track from Death From Above 1979′s new remix album, Romance Bloody Romance, a few weeks ago, and I finally got my hands on a copy. Check out this cover from seminal Boston punks La Peste, who have a two great tracks in the unofficial Peel singles box set. Watch them perform the original here.

(Yes, they are singing, “That girl’s only 13, she ain’t never givin’ head.”)

Pitchfork hates it. Worst release of ’05 they say. Clearly they forgot about the Weezer catastrophe.

They’re actually one of the best bands out there these days.
Of course, nothing beats BEP…
