The latest MP3s to hit the blogs.

1. Wilco, “The Thanks I Get�
A song about being underappreciated, written by a band that can’t record a voice-mail greeting without getting a five-star review in Rolling Stone. [You Got a Stew]

2. The White Stripes, “Conquest� (Corky Robbins cover)
The Stripes augment their lineup with Spanish horns, as if Jack White needed an excuse to wear mariachi pants. [Whudahexup]

3. CRS (Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, and Pharrell), “Us Placers�
Lupe, Kanye, and Pharrell rap about the pitfalls of fame over a Thom Yorke sample that illustrates the dangers of recording a boring vanity solo project. [Gorilla vs. Bear]

4. Kanye West, “Interviews�
Kanye West surmises that his interviews would be more factual if he were allowed to proofread them prior to their being published. Also, he, too, likes Peter Bjorn & John. [Idolator]

5. Pete Doherty, “Delivery�
Even on the pipe, this guy still writes some good songs. [Dead Flowers]
—Lane Brown
