"If we tell you there&amp;apos;s a distinct Bee Gees aura about the new Broken Bells single, &amp;quot;Holding on for Life,&amp;quot; please don&amp;apos;t take that the wrong way. Over a throbbing beat and pristine acoustic guitar strums, the Shins&amp;apos; James Mercer hits those sharp falsetto notes the Brothers Gibb made their stock-in-trade during the disco era.\r\nHowever, Broken Bells&amp;apos; catchy song has much more going for it than a mere nostalgia grab. On this exclusive remix, Yeah Yeah Yeahs&amp;apos; Nick Zinner boosts the bass and accentuates the song&amp;apos;s three-piece-suit quality, giving this Air-y tune a good bit more heft than the album version.\r\nSee Where Danger Mouse&amp;apos;s &amp;apos;Grey Album&amp;apos; Ranks on the 100 Best Albums of the 2000s\r\n&amp;quot;We&amp;apos;ve never really had remixes, but some songs on this album seemed like they could be played with,&amp;quot; Danger Mouse, the other half of Broken Bells, tells Rolling Stone. &amp;quot;We really loved how Nick flipped the song, and it makes us want to get more remixes done.&amp;quot;\r\nAfter the Disco comes out on February 4th, followed by a brief, 10-date Broken Bells tour.&amp;#xA0;\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
