When you hear "Bon Iver," I would venture a guess that "remix" and "DJ" aren't the first words that pop into your head. Good for you. You are a sane and normal human.
Whoever Skinny Friedman is, he is not a sane and normal human, and he decided to put his DJ self on the line to remix Bon Iver's "Blood Bank" the title track of the 2009 EP. It's wonderful. The edit is understated, with Friedman adding a simple drum beat and a couple muted pops to the original. It reminds me of In Digital Time's remix of TVOTR's "Staring at the Sun" in that regard - a little change goes a long way.
Note to prospective remixers/editors: YOU DON'T HAVE TO DESTROY A TRACK TO REMIX IT. Cool.
Seriously, though, this is a slick job. I hope you dig it.

Awesome mix of Staring at the Sun. Love it!
I completely disagree on the bon iver front! i think this is the laziest most unneccessary remix i've heard in a long time - really doesn't add anything.
can this bere sent to YSI so I can download it or can someone send it to me?
80Kidz remix of staring at the sun is even slightly better than this.
this is just the drum pattern from his live show. way to go!
thats a bullshit bon iver remix. bloggers: please have taste and knowledge about music. oh and i'm pretty sure those 'pops' youre talking about are called claps?
