Remixes are fantastic - Girl Talk, MSTRKRFT, The Bloody Beetroots and Super Mash Bros. can all vouch for that. I think to win me over though you just need to pick your battles carefully - Black Eyed Peas remix, yes please; The Pains of Being Pure at Heart remix, maybe?

I'm definitely with you, I rarely bother with them. I just like this one because Saint Etienne is a cool band in their own right so any new output from them is pretty exciting in my eyes.

It's a worthy remix but I think the original just does a better job. Lo-fi can be a tricky thing to remix, and the dreamy indie-pop produced by The Pains deserves to stay pure and untouched much like the bands demeanour.
