[Yes, I smudged my little brother's name out of the screen shot. I can gua-ran-tee that Christmas would be an even tense-er time if I were to: (a) accidentally set-in-motion the next episode of "To Catch a Predator" or (b) involve my brother in a RIAA internet piracy class action lawsuit.]

The fact that lil’bro likes the Pilooski remix makes me feel good, as lil’bro usually listens to the mind-numbing stylings of a guy named Dave Matthews who owns his own band. Apparently Dave Matthews “owns” this band. I will also have you know that this band is mostly compromised of black people. C’mon, “Dave” stop the exploitation of black musicians.

Obviously, now you can see why I would much rather get lil’bro hip to the stylings of Frankie Valli and Pilooski. Two bad-ass musicians that are white like Dave, but they differ in some important ways:

• get way more ass then Mr. Dave Matthews
• even their biggest fans choose to pronounce the artist’s full name, unlike DMB fans who often refer to him as “Dave” as if they are personal friends with Mr. Matthews
• they can dance, unlike Mr. Matthews who prefers a weird shoeless leg convulsion
• most importantly neither Frankie Valli nor Pilooski has ever gone on world tours asserting they own a group of talented black musicians

Below you will find the track as well as a YouTube video made for the remix.

I’ve had this song for about a year now, however all this would have never been possible if it wasn’t for the BaioWulf dropping knowledge on me about this amazing remix.

I saw them live last year, and this San Fran show sounds like a shining example of their live performance. Except I kind of cringe when “D.A.N.C.E.” first gets intro’d…. the screams sound like a Jonas Brothers concert or some shit. However, this is quickly redeemed when they play the MSTRKRFT remix – which in my opinion has never gotten old. Also, at the beginning of “Let There Be Light” they drop a sample of the remix of they did for Scenario Rock “Skitzo Dancer” which is another oldie but a goodie.

Here’s the teaser:

Here are a couple shitty photos I took with my iPhone when I saw them: 

The “A Cross The Universe” package will include a CD of their live performance, a DVD featuring a 1 hour documentary of their various exploits on tour, and a 50 page booklet of fan-submitted photos. I will most-definitely be purchasing this the day it comes out… I was gonna ask Santa for it, but I can’t wait that long.

Here’s some downloads for you vultures:

 Justice – D.A.N.C.E. (MSTRKRFT Remix)

Justice – DVNO (LA Riots RMX)

Scenario Rock – Skitzo Dancer (Justice RMX)

The funny thing is, I’m pretty sure I got this pressing w/ the single & Justice remix before it even hit the street…. it only makes sense I get around to sharing it 3 months later. Man, that just made me realize it was summer then, and now it is not. FUCK!

This is featured in my new promo set “Pristine Gleam” which I’ll be finishing anyday now, promise…
