Beyond The Nightmare Before Christmas (and bad memories of seventh grade, I suppose), there's simply no greater influence on modern arena-emo than the Cure. As a way of saying "thnks fr th mmrs" to the OGs of tuneful teardrops, some of the genre's biggest names have offered up remixes of Cure tunes for an EP titled Hypnagogic States. But they won't be taking on the classics. Nope, all of the remixes will be of songs that are set to appear on the Cure's forthcoming album.

 

Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy do their thing to "The Perfect Boy", decent actor/crappy musician Jared Leto of 30 Seconds to Mars tackles "The Only One", Gerard Way of the mighty My Chemical Romance gives it to "Sleep When I'm Dead", and Jade Puget of AFI has his way with "Freakshow". What's more, Cure tourmates 65 Days of Static turn in "Exploding Head Syndrome", apparently some sort of megamix of all four singles.

 

The set is due on CD and digitally September 13 from Suretone/Geffen, with all artist royalties going to the International Red Cross. (Everybody involved here is a big fan of blood.)
