New Tokyo Police Club - "Be Good (RAC Remix)"

The same crew behind the "Hunting For Witches" remix we posted last week (The Remix Company) has given the cut-and-splice treatment to TPC's "Be Good," keeping the "hey!"s and handclaps you know and love, adding some skippy glitches and a higher gate threshold, and turning down the band's trademark fuzzy bass -- somehow making the catchy track even more pop-worthy. Very cool remix.

Can somebody post a link to the mp3 or would that be asking for too much?

This isn't quite the fun of their Bloc Party mixes, is it? It's alright, but much like their Shins remix seems to kind of go nowhere.
