COHEED AND CLOWNIA

Slipknot are out on tour with Coheed and Cambria right now, and I guess it’s like one big love-in or some shit, ’cause ‘Knot percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan has done a remix of C+C’s “Kashmir” “Welcome Home,” which is currently streaming on the band’s MySpace page.

Look: generally I think re-mixes are a waste of time, a total wankfest, and, often, a chance to fuck with a perfectly decent song just because you can. And this one doesn’t really strike me as being any different; it doesn’t seem like Clown had any unifying thoughts behind this remix other than to drop acid and just go kuh-ray-zee with Pro Tools. And I say that as someone who generally thinks Clown is a pretty cool dude (his completely nonsensical rants aside).

Check it out and weigh in below.
