mixtape maestro (2.0)

Now correct us if we get any of this wrong:

The beloved Lykke Li covers a 2007 seven-minute-plus Kings of Leon album track about a “renegade” couple who hit the highway in hopes of getting out of the grasp of a disapproving mama not too keen about them having offspring…said cover is then flipped into this amazing, but confusing to describe, mash-up/ remix-thing which melds Li’s vocals with Caleb’s over new production handled by Santogold producer John “Rodeo” Hill, is released as a KOL B-side, and becomes an instant blog-sation…then, that remix is reconfigured yet again by Phoenix team Death To The Throne, who strip it of any Followill involvement, and throw it atop a slamming, electro-dance under-thump?

Boy does the music industry work in strange ways these days.

Pick up the DTTD remix below.
