Holy shit, people, the new Stevie Wonder single is like having a unicorn come and have sex with your heart. I wrote a full thing about it for the Stylus UK Singles Jukebox that'll be up Monday, so you'll have to wait for that, but I gotta say, please go listen to "So What's the Fuss" right now, and then please carry boomboxes with you all summer so I can hear it at all times. It has Prince and En Vogue! It has car horns! It has yelling! And Prince is playing guitar! And you can go to his site and watch two versions of the video, one of which is the "Visually Impaired Version featuring narration by Busta Rhymes"! Yes, that's right: Busta Rhymes describing what's going on in a Stevie Wonder video. And there's a remix with Q-Tip! Well, OK, that's not as exciting, but still: argh! Please go listen.

Hello there. I have done an MIA remix (thanks Chris!), of "Bucky Done Gun," giving it a whole new backing track but otherwise not changing it. There is presumably a word for this.

It was inspired by Munk and by NoMeansNo's "The End of All Things," which has inspired the remix's name.

It is here:

MIA - Bucky Done Gun (The Claps' NoMeansMaybe Remix)

And, because I know some of you prefer your music to have as few guitars as possible, here is the guitar-free version:

MIA - Bucky Done Gun (The Claps' Anti-Rockist Remix)

Lemme know what you think! You could also check out Gardner's remix. It incorporates a string quartet tribute to the Pixies.
