A weekly playlist for the listener with a one-track mind.
Clipse: "Intro" On this suspiciously uplifting track from their upcoming mix tape, the members of Clipse boast about their superior parallel-parking skills. Underground hip-hop stars: Is there anything they can't do?
Kaki King: "I Think She Knows" From the latest edition of "Guilt by Association," a compilation of cool artists singing uncool songs they secretly like, wispy guitar goddess King sucks only a little bit of the fun out of this Justin Timberlake track.
Colin Munroe featuring Wale and Dallas Austin: "Will I Stay" (remix) Internet-famous for his reworking of Kanye West's "Flashing Lights," Munroe teams with Wale and Dallas Austin, for some reason, on this redo of his own shouty, infectious track.
Marianne Faithfull featuring Antony Hegarty: "OO Baby" Antony and the Johnsons' Hegarty outvamps Faithfull, whose voice resembles what a cigarette would sound like if it could sing, on this fascinating, kind of trainwrecky version of the Smokey Robinson classic.
Roger Riley and Teddy Troutman: "Electric Relaxation" (remix) If Kanye has anything to say about it (and he does), the death of Auto-Tune has been greatly exaggerated. Still, the mysterious Troutman and Riley try to hasten its demise by Auto-Tuning the living bejesus out of this A Tribe Called Quest cover. From their optimistically titled "Death of Auto-Tune."
