This is the first song in the revolution to have multiple cuts. Here are links to listen to or download the alternate versions:

F Your War! (Cut the Propaganda)
Included:
Quote - Battlefield Vietnam - "The skies are dangerous, G.I., they will napalm you tonight. They will give you a medal, G.I., but only after you are dead. Your government lies to you every day. Poor soldier. You have lost this war, G.I., your army will leave you behind. Poor soldier. Your rich leaders grow richer while you die in the swamp, G.I.. You cannot dig foxhole to hide in, G.I. Joe. Your pilots do not care that you are down here, G.I.. They cannot see you from your airplanes, G.I., they come to bomb you. Poor soldier. G.I., your helicopters fall from the sky like broken birds. Imperialists made you fight this war, G.I., they do not care about you. Your government has betrayed you. Your government has abandoned you. They will not return for you. Poor soldier."

Review: The Glitch Mob's remix of "Red Dress" blew up over the Internet this weekend. This remix transforms the original from an indie song into one that I expect to find on many dance floors. You almost can't help going crazy to the beats and shouting to the lyrics. Rightfully so, then, this makes up the last track in this mix. The first is from Ugress, a melodic theme to set a contrast for what comes next. Building out of the piano keys of "Klavier Aparat" is Photek's remix of "The Total Job" by The Faint. The lyrics offer a contrast to the quotes from BFV, reminding everyone that "a lawyer with an eloquent tongue" is as much a part of the war. Finally, mixing beautifully into The Faint comes TV on the Radio de la Glitch Mob.
NOTE: I'm no longer purchasing copies for iTunes Store account holders (out of spare cash). Hope everyone who got one is enjoying the hell out of 'em. I may do purchase rounds like this in the future, so stay tuned.
