    About the Pumped Up Kicks song, there’s this brazillian music genre called Funk (don’t confuse with the traditional american, 70’s Funk, there’s no relation), and Funk DJs and MCs have no respect to anything and there’s this fantastic funk remix of Pumped Up Kicks that was incredible popular on Brazil and everyone get surprised when you told them that this song is a remix of a song about school shooters.

          that is almost amazing. the first 30 seconds sets it up so well. and then, well…

          edit: also I have hate-listened to this several times. it is very addictive, and probably criminal. I might listen to it more because I hate it so much.

            Lmao, I love it. I’m really into mashup and mixes, and really like how they tropicalize anything. I was joking with my wife about how someone needs to stop them before even Scotland declare war against Brazil, because these mf stared mixing bagpipes with funk.

        Welcome to Funk, it’s the kind of music they play for you on repeat in hell while they shove needles under your nails.

          I used to hate it until in a mdma night I ended in a funk party in São Cristobao and now I love it. I’m more into the techno kind of funk that is played usually on Rio’s techno scene, than the pure funk played on favellas.

            Never heard of funk before, I don’t like techno and I think the other tracks posted here suck - but I actually really like this one and others from this album, thanks.
