When My Morning Jacket released Evil Urges, "Highly Suspicious" immediately stood out from the rest of the track list with its disco falsetto, group chain-gang vocalisms, and, most of all, its peanut butter pudding surprise. It's no surprise (sorry) VHS Or Beta chose the song for their remixing purposes: It was already halfway to being a Nitzer Ebb-style dance-floor anthem. The transformation's now complete and can be experienced in all its glory thanks to the Causes 2 compilation, Waxploitation's second compilation to benefit Darfur. The collection also includes Black Moth Super Rainbow, Devendra Banhart, Diplo, Gnarls Barkley, LCD Soundsystem, and the Decemberists, among others. Check out the tracklist while you listen to the "Highly Suspicious (VHS OR BETA DeeJays Remix)" and mull Jim James' potential as a rug-cutting diva.Continue reading VHS Or Beta Remix My Morning Jacket...
