Wow. Check out this video created under a Creative Commons license for the Meanest Man Contest track "Takitani Edit (Superhumanoids Remix)". I'm impressed.

Roman Ruins Remix Beach House, Release New 7"

Recently, the always-on Roman Ruins did a remix of Beach House's "Lover of Mine". It's a brilliant little pop rendition for a band he knows a little something about (seeing he sits in on drums for them on various tours). Thanks to the fine folks at Stereogum, Gorilla vs Bear, MyPoproks, HypeTrak, Indiehearts, and other spots or spreading the word.

::: Beach House - Lover of Mine (Roman Ruins Remix)

And, if you haven't got your hands on the limited edition Roman Ruins 7" (pictured above) then I suggest you do so before they're all spoken for. PASTOR/AL contains two tracks, one of which you can sample here.

::: Roman Ruins - The Comedown

Enjoy.
