• "Time to Listen" (DJ Topcat Remix), MGMT vs. Talib Kweli
  Oddball mix by Topcat (a.k.a., Tim Fulton, who claims to be a Navy vet of Desert Shield!), deftly juxtaposing Kweli's forceful motivational rap from "Listen!!!" with MGMT's sardonic rock-star babble on "Time to Pretend." Food for thought. (DOWNLOAD MP3)

• "Electric Feel My Shit" (Leif Edit), MGMT
  Koo-koo speedfreak mash-up, with Wesleyan bro Leif splicing in Rocky horns and Yo Majesty's foul-mouthed dancefloor throwdown "Club Action." Fuck that shit, indeed. (DOWNLOAD MP3)

• "Kids" (Soulwax Nite Version), MGMT
  They may have never had an original idea in their lives, but nobody reworks other people's shit better than these Brit mash-up pros, and their ecstastic, big-room-bludgeoning remix will sound like Godhead filtering up through the floor at Fabric. (DOWNLOAD MP3)

• "Electric Feel" (Justice Remix), MGMT
  You haven't really penetrated the international-asshole party circuit if Gaspy and Xavy haven't done a half-assed remix of your third-best track. Thing is, this isn't really half-assed! It's actually glitchy and funky in equal parts. Maybe they genuinely like this song! (DOWNLOAD MP3)

• "Teenage Electric Lobotomy" (MGMT vs. Justice vs. the Ramones), the Illuminoids
  Somehow not as awkward and one-joke as it should be, warping the two songs together so cleverly that it sounds like MGMT are cooing their sweet little funk nothings after getting a lobotomy from Joey Ramone. The resituating of Dee Dee's "1-2-3-4" is a nice touch. (DOWNLOAD MP3)

• "Real Weak" (MGMT vs. Ratatat vs. Lykke Li vs. Teddy Pendergrass vs. the Clash vs. UGK), Immukization
  MGMT's "The Handshake" drifts through a disorienting haze of barely recognizable bits from other tracks, before ending with a voicemail turntablist dis. Cool but baffling. (DOWNLOAD MP3)

• "The Youth" (MMMatthias Remix), MGMT
  "Kids" eats a handful of E and becomes a skipping rave nymph babbling about the absolute truth and beauty of Bob Ross' paintings to everyone she meets. Impressively subdued, considering the circumstances. (DOWNLOAD MP3)
