• James Blake Shares Remix of Gorillaz 'Feel Good Inc.' Under Name 'Harmonimix' [LISTEN]

    On a recent Fabriclive mix posted to SoundCloud, British DJ Rich Reason included a newly unearthed James Blake remix of the Gorillaz classic "Feel Good Inc.," released under the name "Harmonimix." Though the remix is just now seeing the light of day, "Fact" reports that the track is "from back in the day," at least according to Reason.Though the original "Feel Good Inc." definitely has a danceable party vibe to it — as dark and weird as it may be — Blake's remix is much more abstract and harder to dance to, and even strips the song of its signature bass line, which may lead some to ask to the question, "Then why the hell should I even bother listening to this?"You can check out James Blake's Harmonimix remix of Gorillaz's "Feel Good Inc." here:

  • Sinead O'Connor Defends 'Do They Know It's Christmas?," Tells Critics to 'Shut the F--k Up'

    Last week, on Nov. 17, the latest version of Band Aid's classic charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" was released online to raise money for the Ebola crisis in West Africa, and though it went straight to the top of the U.K. charts and is supporting an undoubtedly good cause, the song has been the subject of plenty of criticism, particularly for its lyrics.According to two British newspapers, Emeli Sandé, who actually appears on the latest version, said the lyrics need "changing," while Lily Allen called the song "a bit smug" and said she would prefer "donating actual money."One artist who is vigorously defending the song, however, is the famously outspoken Sinead O'Connor, who also appears on the song."I think everyone should shut the f--k up," O'Connor told "Broadsheet," via "Billboard." "If you didn't like the lyrics you shouldn't have agreed to sing the song. I think it's smug of Lily Allen to say it's smug."

  • Blur's "Parklife" Is Being Used To Mock Russell Brand On The Internet

  • Music Times Casts 'Doctor Who: The Musical' and Offends Whovians Everywhere; Daleks, Cybermen and The Master

    The "Symphonic Experience" sounds great, really, but being uncouth Americans like we are, we couldn't help but wonder if a more pop-oriented TV-opera is a possibility. But then of course we'd need real people to provide the vocals for the various characters. We don't want to invite controversy by even suggesting an actor to portray the titular Doctor, but we're more than happy to suggest musicians to portray his worst enemies.

  • Beck, St. Vincent and Jack White: Music Times Names Its Midyear Favorites

However, there are some artists who are lucky enough to have been members of two different bands that are equally as famous or influential. Here are five artists that are equally known for two different bands.
