Diplo Remixes Spoon's "Don't You Evah" for Charity
Spoon's "Don't You Evah", from their fine Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga LP, has a nice little swing to it, sure. But leave it to Diplo to crank up the bottom end in just about anything he touches, even a straight-ahead rock track from a bunch of tightly-wound Texans.
Diplo's crafted a remix of "Don't You Evah" which the Merge Records digital store is selling this very moment. All proceeds from sales of the tune go to the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition, an organization that advocates fair practices within Texas courts.
When they're not matching wits for a good cause, Spoon and Diplo are out on the road. (Not together.) Both have but a handful of dates over the next few months. And Spoon presently have a poster signed by the band up on eBay as part of Merge's previously reported charity project.
Diplo:
12-14 Philadelphia, PA - Fluid
12-31 San Francisco, CA - Temple
02-08 Chicago, IL - Smartbar
Spoon:
12-13 Austin, TX - Emo's (Britt Daniel solo) *
12-15 Portland, OR - Crystal Ballroom +
12-31 Chicago, IL - Metro

+ with the Shaky Hands
