Yes I know this is probably old news, but I heard it was a good remix of my december that Mike rejected because it was too dark. Does anybody have a clue what I'm talking about? Know who might have it?
The only people who would have it would either be Mike, someone from Team Sleep, DJ Shadow, or one of the higher-ups that were involved with the production of Reanimation. It hasn't been released anywhere like the other remixes that were cut from the album (Crystal Method POA, Manson's Buy Myself). It's supposed to be a really dark and moody techno/ambience remix of My December done by Team Sleep and featuring scratches by the legendary DJ Shadow, but that's about all anyone knows about it. I don't think being too "dark" for the album is the sole reason though, if Mike saw it as not album-worthy and then never released it but did put out 2 other Reanimation b-sides, chances are it may not have been a very good remix in the first place. If I ever talk to Mike again or meet Chino at a Deftones/Team Sleep concert, that's gonna be one of the things I'll be sure to ask about, but that's about all the info there is for now.
It definatly exists however like about a hundred others its a song that only LP possess (and Team Sleep).
I hope it gets released somehow, from the descriptions, it sounds as if this would sound incredible....they should include more unreleased tracks onto the LPU discs *sigh, instead of stickin stuff we've already heard ex. Live In Texas tracks.
i love team sleep, i don't know how their remix could have not been good; there are plenty of really dark songs on reanimation; "1Stp Klosr", "KRWLNG", "FRGT/10" ... "PPR:Kut" ... they're all atmospheric and dark.. all the same, i loved "My<DSMBR" as much as i loved "my december"; both have their pros and cons.. ...yea, they should release that remix.
Wow I swear I've seen that exact post on a website somewhere!!! I just can't think of where...interesting.
Interesting indeed, considering I sat there for about 20 minutes typing that myself. If it's somewhere else, they copied me.
Mike is probably holding out on releasing it to spite Chino for blasting Linkin Park. Or not. Either way.
