TOO LATE TO FLUXOGISE...

It was almost worth doing this just for the dumb picture I ended up creating!
Well, this one is long overdue. It must have been a year ago that NME gave away a free Bloc Party CD complete with a U-MYX version of 'Flux' where you can mute or solo each element of a song (they call it 'remixing' but it ain't REALLY, not what you and I would call remixing. Great for this kinda thing though).
So I'm listening to this track over and over, trying to find something that might go with the BP acapella and I got nuttin - brain is dry. Meanwhile, Xmas 07 is looming and 'Apologize' is getting heavy radio play. I must be hearing it four or five times a day at work. Now I can't even say I LIKE the song but eventually it becomes like wallpaper and the two songs start merging in my head (coz that's how my brain works now) and it becomes clear, like it or not, this HAS to be done! But I can only find a crappy karaoke instrumental and it's the Onerepublic version anyway, not Timbaland's which kinda defeats the object.
Give up.
Another one on the scrapheap.

Fast forward to this weekend: I'm digging around the hard drive, going through all my half-finished shit and there it is... "Fluxogise". In one Sunday afternoon, I managed to grab the proper instrumental from the promo CD AND a DIY acapella - I'm as happy as a dog with two dicks!
So I ended up with two versions...

'FLUXOGISE (Bloc Party over Timbaland's beats)
To be honest, I prefer this one coz that's what I could hear in my head.

'APOLOFLUX' (Onerepublic whining all over Bloc Party)
I mean, this one's alright but the DIY pella leaves it lacking something.
What do you think, kids?
Answers on a postcard please...
