MP3: The Mountain Goats - "Lovecraft in Brooklyn" (Aesop Rock remix)
Be sure to check out the very cool Sketch Theatre video for it, too.
As is typical in today's parlance, "remix" here implies Aesop Rock taking the a cappella vocal track, and using an entirely new instrumental track and tacking on an additional rap verse. The original version appears on the Mountain Goats latest, Heretic Pride, and it's the best song on the album. This remix pales in comparison, but it's worth hearing.

I'm so glad you included a link to the illustrated press kit, I just love that as cool background on the album. "Lovecraft" is definitely the best song on an album of good songs - I'm just wild about the drum part. The remix is interesting, but I'm not crazy about it.
