Just saw Cut Copy & Holy Ghost! at the Troc the other week, so this remix seems appropriate.  (Quick footnote, if you are not already listening to the Holy Ghost! album and enjoy 80's dance music, I urge you to drop whatever it is you are doing and get said music in your life stat.  They are for serious.)  Here is Detroit DJ Carl Craig's take on Cut Copy's Need You Now (via A Heart is A Spade), one of the better tracks on a very good album put out by Cut Copy earlier this year.

Last one is another cover of a band I got to witness in person last night at the First Unitarian Church, Tame Impala.  Here is sample master Mark Ronson take on their song.  You can download it for free over at Some Kind of Awesome.
