A weekly playlist for the listener with a one-track mind.
Chris Cornell featuring Justin Timberlake: "Take Me Alive" Cornell's upcoming, I Am a Rock Star Slumming in the Club collaboration with Timbaland promises to be 10 different kinds of terrible. This nominally Eastern-influenced track, complete with a pleasantly over-the-top chorus and an un-showboaty appearance from Timberlake, may be the best thing on it.
Booker T. Jones featuring the Drive-By Truckers and Neil Young: "Warped Sister" Like Bettye LaVette and Solomon Burke before him, MGs frontman Jones is scheduled for a hipster-assisted career revival, complete with a cool new indie label and a stop at Bonnaroo. First, he teams with the DBTs and Young on this seriously promising, seriously funky new instrumental track.
Timid Tiger featuring Lenny Kravitz, Ludacris and the Notorious B.I.G.: "Are You Gonna My Way" German musicians/remixers/masher-uppers Timid Tiger take on Kravitz's indelibly '90s hit the only way they know how: by adding a totally unrelated verse from Biggie's "Notorious Thugs."
Nat King Cole: "Lush Life" (produced by Cee-Lo Green) This newly beefy, chopped-up version of the jazz classic is Green's contribution to the upcoming Cole remix disc, "Re: Generations." The project is also slated to feature the Roots, TV on the Radio and the ubiquitous Will.I.Am, who will basically do anything at this point.
The Flaming Lips: "Anything You Say Now I Believe You" Ever since their patience-testing "Christmas on Mars" phase, Lips fans have been waiting for a song that would signal the band's return to its usual excellence. This is not that song. But it's one of its best tracks since forever, complete with sublimely trippy vocals and an extra-lengthy, totally unnecessary instrumental fade-out.
