Sweet. Hopefully you will post the direct link to the download as I can't read a word on that website. ~

Does this mean they decided not to release it as a single or sell it or anything else? It'll be a free download for two days and then disappear?
Hope I'm wrong!!

It may be a way to gauge reaction?

Just got this in my Google alerts: www.blackbookmag.com/article/yooxcom-celebrates-birthday-in-style/3240YOOX.com Celebrates Birthday In Style By Ben Barna June 19, 2008 Can you believe our little YOOX.com is all grown up? The virtual boutique is taking off its virtual training wheels as it gets ready to celebrate its virtual 8th anniversary. To celebrate their octo-bday, along with a magician and a petting zoo, the website has commissioned a musical marriage of art and commerce with just one catch -- it's free! Eight artists (one for each year, we presume) are participating in the project, each crafting a tune specific for the occasion, three new songs, five remixes. The fun starts tomorrow, June 20th, and the songs will be available, free for download all weekend. That's 72 hours kids. The highlight of the whole shebang? Matt Helder’s (Arctic Monkeys) remix of Duran Duran’s “Skin Divers.”

It's cool that they consider SD the highlight of the weekend. I honestly hope this results in more exposure for Duran Duran, because I'm sure Matt Helder didn't work for free and I'm not sure how DD is going to make any money off of this.
The download is free, it's only available for three days, and it's an exclusive to the site - which, I think, means DD CAN'T release it as a single, or do anything else with it. Does anyone else know what saying the song is "exclusive" to the site means?
Anyway, when I first heard about the Helder remix I thought maybe they would release it as a single. Now it appears it was done just for this website's anniversary. Hope it does well! At least we know why it hasn't been seen anywhere else...
