I Paid €200 For Nice Headphones Just So That I Could Listen To This Mark Fell Remix
# I Paid €200 For Nice Headphones Just So That I Could Listen To This Mark Fell Remix Late last year, my roommate Jer sat on my Technics DH-1200 headphones. Over the course of a few months, the right cup became looser and looser, and in March it fell right off. I put the cans to rest in a shallow grave and waited nine long months to save up for a clone pair, which arrived last week. When I use them to listen to tracks like Mark Fell's remix of "Steve Reich's Ice Cream Van" by Application, my brain feels like this: Practical information: This track is one of the seven reworks of Application's *System Fork* LP that Dust Science will release on December 1. The remix record is called *Applied Remixes* and it features new versions from a simply bitching list of producers that includes Russell Haswell, Beneath, and Pye Corner Audio. Update: The label has offered us a full stream of the whole release, not just the Mark Fell remix. I thought we were just streaming Mark's remix!!!!! That's why this writeup only really talks about that one. But they're all cool and you can listen to them here:
