The latest MP3s to hit the blogs.

1. Arcade Fire, “Distortions†(Clinic cover)
At the Sasquatch festival over the weekend, Win Butler and crew did their version of a track by the masked, krautrocking Liverpudlians, and it wasn’t even Ryan Schreiber’s birthday. [The Music Slut]

2. Jesse Malin, “Sister Christian Where Are You Nowâ€
We’ll spare you any disappointment up front: This has nothing to do with the Night Ranger song. [Fuel Friends]

3. Eels, “Royal Painâ€
Back in the late nineties, when Mark Oliver Everett was writing all those albums about cancer, he probably never imagined that he’d one day find himself on the Shrek 2 soundtrack, much less the one for Shrek the Third. [My Old Kentucky Blog]

4. Shellac, “Steady As She Goesâ€
Steve Albini, the producer responsible for Nirvana’s In Utero, turns in a track that sounds like an outtake from Bleach. [Idolator]

5. Linda Thompson feat. Antony Hegarty, “Beautyâ€
Rufus Wainwright wrote this pensive ballad for the British folk legend, so be careful not to blow your speakers. [DoCopenhagen]
