When Vampire Weekend multi-instrumentalist-producer Rostam Batmanglij isn't making music with his chart-topping band (or his R&B side project Discovery) he's doing creative things under the moniker Boys Like Us.

He's already redone a track by L.A. sunshine-pop band Foreign Born as Boys Like Us and next up is a remix of Jack Johnson's "You and Your Heart", which is from the surfer dude's upcoming LP To the Sea. The remix is out in the U.S. digitally and as a 7" single June 1.

Curling, The Only Activity That Becomes More Exciting On An iPhone

Apr 29, 2010 |
