Bjork’s last album, Volta, was mostly a mess. Boasting collaborations with artists from all over the globe (Konono No. 1, Timbaland, Antony Hegarty, among others), it tried to appeal to everyone and instead sounded like Bjork’s most unfocused work in years. Thankfully, though, Bjork has managed to salvage the project by issuing a series of singles from the album, all of which contain new takes on its material.

Ratatat’s remix of “Wanderlust” is the best of these new versions, perhaps because their take sounds very little like the original. Replacing Bjork’s claustrophobic horns and fuzz bass with a giant guitar army and skittering electronics, the Brooklyn-based duo’s remix is a lot more fun and a more engaging listen. Slow-building and spacious, it’s better than anything on Volta. Count me among those shocked by the fact that nobody has offered Ratatat an album-length production opportunity yet. They deserve it.

The goaltending call over WVU? Close, but the refs made the right decision. Wallace being fouled with 0.1 seconds left? Not at all close, and the refs made a horrible call. Still, there’s no such thing as a bad win, especially in a conference as tough as the Big East. Tony Francavilla has the story here.

It’s such a shame because this video starts out so well: a ridiculous study, a spot-on critique of the University ( “And Leo’s…you said you were going to make a change! But we didn’t mean the doors! We meant the food!”) and a flawless, probably unintentional Jerry Seinfeld imitation (”I feel like I’m talking to a wall!”).

But then it goes downhill fast. The unnatural smile on Patrick’s face when Dietz and Stone touch his shoulders is just unsettling, as is the way he whispers “thanks” and gives Stone’s stomach a man-pat before walking away. And despite the massive explosions behind them, I’m not sure what Dietz and Stone are setting off to do, except perhaps find another kooky Hoya in need of a shoulder rub.

Speaking of campaign videos, it looks like the G.O.P. might finally have its answer to will.i.am’s wildly popular Obama video. And to think pundits claimed Republicans didn’t know how to use the power of the internet.
