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.

As a huge Mark Kozelek fan, I can’t help but wonder how one goes about assembling a John Denver tribute album in 2013 and doesn’t find space for a Kozelek rendition; is it because he put out his own Denver tribute back in 2000 (featuring Low, Bonnie Prince Billy, and THREE Red House Painters tracks)?
