Free MP3 Download: Metric "Gold Guns Girls" (Mike Shinoda Remix)
Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda put together a punchy, synth-laden remix of Metric’s "Gold Guns Girls" that easily matches the energy we know from his work with Linkin Park. Shinado produced this atmospheric revamp as a soundtrack to his art show, Glorious Excess (Dies), now showing at Los Angeles’ Japanese American National Museum until October 4.
The exhibit is Shinoda’s collection of paintings and digital works that explore society’s obsession with celebrity culture, consumer addiction, and fascination with excess. (Below a video with more info about his exhibit.)
Shinoda writes on his blog, "I mentioned the band Metric a long time ago…and some of you know I like their music. Their album ‘Fantasies’ contains a song called ‘Gold Guns Girls.’ When I first heard it, I thought: this is like a theme song for Glorious Excess! Well, I contacted the band, and (to make a long story short) I remixed the song."
