I’m so excited to announce that I have Tom Wreck’s Remix of Love Fool to share with all of you. It’s definitely up there as one of my favorites. It’s soooooo good! Tom never fails to make a solid remix.

 

I first heard it a month ago, while snooping through his computer. Hey, don’t judge me! I wanted some new music for my Ipod. Turns out, he came out with it last summer.

 

Anyways, I loved it as soon as I heard it. I asked if I could post it, but like most DJ’s out there, he felt like he still needed to tweak it. Perfectionist!

 To make a long story short, he added his final touches and sent it out a few days ago.

 

But as it turns out…..Barletta, another Toronto DJ, just put out his remix of Love Fool as well. Weird! Definitely a Twilight Zone moment. 

 

Anyhow, they are both completely different. Tom’s version is darker then Barletta’s, who sticking more to the happy, cheery tone of the original Love Fool.

 

 

 

I first fell for the Cardigans Love Fool track back in ‘96 when I heard it on The Romeo and Juliet soundtrack. I must say, listening to the lyrics now, I do not support the story. The song is about a pathetic girl who is willing to accept scraps of love. Fuck that! Have more respect for yourself WOMAN!

 

I don’t know about you, but I find Tom Wreck’s Remix to deliver a different message. With the vocals/lyrics he has chosen and the more aggressive beats that he has produced, the story sounds better to me.

 

I feel she has matured since we heard her last. She’s recognized a pattern. She’s been played for a fool over and over AND OVER! And she’s fed up! She’s letting him know how she felt and what he made her go through. She’s cried, she’s prayed and she begged.  That Bastard!

 

For those of you out there who are “Love Fools”, GET IT TOGETHER!

I suggest you bid them Adieu, and give them one of these.

Trust me…you will feel so much better.
