Read MoreTegan and Sara lovers, come out from under that bed and bask in the warm sun of remixes.
Since I know at least one mutualrespecter is a closet Tegan and Sara fan, I wanted to bring everyone’s attention to the Rental’s “Walking with a Ghost” remix. http://hype.non-standard.net/artist/Tegan+and+Sara Hype machine is pretty amazing.
