Two years ago I posted a Cut Copy/Rad mashup that was quasi-successful (100K+ views, not bad for a 5 minute vid), but the quality was terrible. The source video was a YouTube rip (after who knows how many compressions) which was then edited and re-uploaded, and the audio was a shitty MySpace rip (In Ghost Colours hadn't come out yet).
This movie*, this band, and you the reader all deserve better. So allow me to introduce a much higher quality version, complete with tighter edits and some new high school danceoff scenes from earlier in the movie (3:03!). Enjoy.
*Fun fact: the family in the center of the Butter Team header is enjoying a 1971 RCA color TV with an XL-100 advanced tuning system and Solid State Accucolor. They are excited about this transformative technology and what it will do for their lives. They're preparing to watch Rad, except the opening title sequence was replaced with "Butter Team," which by transference leads them to conclude this blog is rad.
Oh snap, 500th post. It's been a pleasure. I'll be shutting down BT to work on some other sites (including Sketchy Santas, Sketchy Bunnies and Urlesque), but please enjoy this wintry mix + my other two favorites from this year. Be sure to sign up for email updates on the right for a few mixes in 2k10.

Can't say Cut Copy's "Far Away" could possibly be improved upon or that I'd rather listen to any of these remixes over the original, but you can be the judge on that. The important thing is we're celebrating victorious radness in all of its forms today (Radiohead are also marking the occasion with a semi-fresh rmx of "Harrowdown Hill" via Dead Air Space, mp3 here).
Far Away (Ring Trick Rmx)
Far Away (Bag Raiders Rmx)
Far Away (ddpesh Rmx)
Update: Even more Far Away remixes
And for the sixteenth time, we plug the unofficial BT video for this song, which shall remain the default until they actually make one:
You may also enjoy throwing on the elbow-padded tweed whilst perusing our vast, leather-bound Cutters archives for additional pre-weekend morsels.
You're not alone, that was a dope show. Maybe you've felt a little gloomy since then and kept In Ghost Colours on repeat, visualizing yourself back at Sonar sans stainful alt bros. Maybe you hit the remix circuit or even mashed up cutters tracks with popular movies or commercials.

But it's time to try something else, so I'm just gonna put this out there; if you like it, you can take it, if you don't, send it right back. Booka Shade. Most of their new one (The Sun & The Neon Light) follows traditional top gear German electro lineage, but lead single "Charlotte," which scientists may later discover contains auditory blueprints for a prehistoric utopian civilization, sounds like a fresh round of subterranean assaults in the Aussie/French banger wars.
Booka Shade - Charlotte
Yeah!
While you're digging German electro magic, please to enjoy the best music video every made by anyone ever courtesy of 80s Berlin pop supergroup The Twins:
Alternative bros with orange tongues ruled the scene, but regardless, cutters still dipped some chicken in it.
My favorite part of the experience was the sweaty, underaged girl in front of me with a backless shirt, bouncing against everyone like an old guy at the Y. But then she initiated a reverse grind into the married alternative bro next to me for a few songs, who didn't mind, and the universe was calm. View the full set from Josh Sisk.

Who has two thumbs, no pants and will be in the front row? This guy:

Cut Copy comes to Baltimore in less than a week - how are you supposed to get any sleep with a show like this just around the corner? Try listening to this specially-prepared Butter Team sampler fusing various intro/outro sequences together from In Ghost Colours. We can't offer this for download so just move the computer next to your head/the bed. Add seagulls and paprika for a soothing seaside effect.
Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours Dream Sequence
The Black Kids on Cut Copy:
"Imagine that you've spent the past ten years of your life playing in unremarkable bands. One day, you awake to find you are no longer unremarkable. Pundits and bloggers hail you as remarkably awesome or remarkably shit. You just go with it. Along the way, someone asks if you want to 'co-headline' a tour with a group you admire. This is a joke - this pretense of co-headlining (because they are awesome and you are not) - but you eagerly say, 'Yes, PLEASE.' Shortly after you've agreed to tour with these guys, they release In Ghost Colours. You realize that this is the record of the year and that you will get to witness it live EVERY NIGHT. You - helplessly, appropriately - wig out."
Black Kids - Hurricane Jane (Beige Remix)
Kate Nash - I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You (Black Kids cover)
The folks over at Internet Jogging (the j is soft) had a great idea - remix Sony's excellent new "Foam City" commercial that debuts next week with a song that's much less lame. Here are our entries:
Cut Copy - Visions (from In Ghost Colours, the best album of 2K8)
The Avalanches - Diners Only (from Since I Left You)
The Go! Team - Did U Feel It Too? (from Are You Ready For More?)
If you have a better song in mind, download the original movie file and send us (or IJ) your link.
Can you believe Cut Copy managed to drop another rekkid as premium as Bright Like Neon Love, and that soon you'll be testing out your practiced bedroom tektonic spasms at an actual stateside performance?
No one is more pleased with this turn of events than Butter Team staffers - and to celebrate we're giving away a special/happy Modular prize pack including an autographed copy of In Ghost Colours, fierce limited edition cutters 3-D glasses and more!

Even quasi-regular Butter Team readers know we are super USA #1 fans of Melbourne's Cut Copy. Big news - the cutters have been kind enough to host a MySpace pre-release listening party for our most anticipated album of 2008, In Ghost Colours, which drops in Australia next week. To celebrate we've combined some of the raddest music in the world with the raddest scene from the raddest movie in the world (Rad). Enjoy:
Cut Copy - Far Away (stream only per label's request - no worries because you're going to be pre-ordering it right now anyway!)

"I suggest you go home and take a good long look at yourself."
"I have. Everyone has. They love it."
While most Bavarians are stingy with their beats, we are not, so get nice with a new toaster from Melbourne's hottest mothercutters, pre-order In Ghost Colours here and check the stateside tour dates below. This is all very exciting for us.
Mar 10 2008 - Echo - Los Angeles
Mar 15 2008 - Studio B - New York
Mar 17 2008 - Mercury Lounge - New York
And sweet Pete, if you haven't heard this Holy Ghost track yet (from the DFA crew) get ready for a proper face melting. It's part of the So Cosmic mix Cut Copy dropped last month, and follows Daft Punk's Face to Face and the Airwolf theme on my "let's chase chickens in sweats" athletic training montage mix.
P.S. Dr. Octagon posts up in the B tonight at Sonar with king of microphone techniques Jeru the Damaja. Going to bars is fun, going to bars where Kool Keith spits is tops.
Cut Copy - Lights and Music (stream only by request)
Holy Ghost! - Hold On
Calvin Harris - Disco Heat
Giorgio Moroder - I Wanna Rock You
Kool Keith - Break U Off
Jeru the Damaja - Ya Playin Yaself

Mother Superior rations out two more Cut Copy rarities to fix all you street walkin' cheetahs proper whilst awaiting the 'cutters next psyched-out star folk voyage. And not unlike a 1984 romantic adventure featuring the Turner/Douglas combo, the Cribs: CSS redux, Japan, and Human League offerings below are 1000% exotic gems and crocodile skin boots.
Cut Copy - Rendezvous
Cut Copy - Stars
The Cribs - Mens Needs (CSS Remix)
The Human League - Things That Dreams Are Made Of (Kissy Sell Out Mix)
Japan - Life In Tokyo
Yes we know the blogger community was talking about None Shall Pass in July or some other long gone era. Thought you had us for a second though!
Probably already assembling a devastatingly dry and witty comment centered around our un-timeliness. (We actually only prefer compliments, such as your beard is nice or you're good at finding shortcuts.)
But no, just wanted to congratulate Aesop Rock for wrassling the ADD mechanical bull that is our ipods, holding tight in heavy rotation for several months, and earning the 3Q 2007 Award for Continuous Portable Music Play. Against stiff competition no less, what with Joe Satriani, Drowning Pool and Atreyu all releasing stellar LPs.
Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass
Ok wake to this grocery list - try to guess which of the following songs has not been continuously on our collective playlists for the past several years.
1. Gangstarr - Zonin'
2. Cut Copy - Zap Zap
3. Theme: The Neverending Story (bonus Halloween costume idea: Falcor!!)
Just know that even participating in this activity means you're a winner, so afterwards take five with some purple stuff or Sunny D. Also know that by not participating you risk the chance of being one of these.
Buy Aesop Rock, Cut Copy, Gangstarr
Step into the Butter Team paradise garage to enjoy interprétations françaises de Warren G, fresh folky bleeprock CSS coverlove, and tightjeaned anthems from NYC's original punky brewsters. Plus we dug up some ol' Cut Copy vinyl from their 2001 Rendezvous EP - stay calm and digest slowly while we wait for In Ghost Colours to arrive in February.
Cuizinier and Saphir w. DJ Raze - Regulate
CSS - Knife (Grizzly Bear cover)
Sonic Youth - Dirty Boots
Richard Hell and the Voidoids - Blank Generation
Cut Copy - Rendezvous
Sample more old school Cut Copy here.
Pre-order Grizzly Bear's Friend EP from Insound.
Mad props to ourselves for digging up this 2001 vinyl gem whilst searching for something to hold us over until the next Cut Copy album drops. You may detect a trace of Aussie telepathy via Since I Left You, which, by all means.

In this time of violent drive biking and foreign embassy mutherflipping, sometimes you need to just reserve your favorite cassingle from the library and lay up in the cut with a golden delicious.

More.
If that's not enough, rumor is they roll deep at Public and La Esquina late night. Give Vinnie a couple Hamiltons or drop the riff from Hearts on Fire on your portable Casio to get downstairs. Or if you're a girl, order the corn on the cob.
