The NY Jets fueled up last night, adding Brett Favre to their roster, in a trade that almost nobody thought would happen.
As of yesterday, all sources had Favre headed to Tampa in what seemed to be a never ending debacle surrounding Brett’s retirement.
So what does this mean for the Jets? Most likely just more exposure and an increase in jersey sales.
Face it, Farve isn’t that great. Now he’s on a new team, has to learn a new offense and is going to be hounded by the NY media, a far cry from Green Bay, Wisconsin.
This Jet has crashed before it even took off.

Re-working an existing track is primarily about listening– the best remixers hear something inside of a song not being served by the original version. In the case of Animal Collective’s remix of Goldfrapp‘s “Little Bird“, they heard something several shades darker than the urban moodscape of the original, something filled with mystery and maybe a touch of desperation. Stripping away most of the music in favor of a slowly accumulating web of percussion and noise, the track becomes a spooky campfire song for a Blair Witch kind of night.

The former drummer of the Beatles doesn’t look a day over forty. The oldest and seemingly healthiest of all the Beatles, you’ve got to think Ringo is going to be around for a while.
