Give Thom Yorke Your Heart, Make It Real, or Else Forget About It
1. Modeselektor feat. Thom Yorke, “The White Flashâ€
Thom Yorke plays the Rob Thomas to Modeselektor’s Carlos Santana, guesting on the German electronic duo’s new single, which is sort of like “Smooth,†except it will never, ever be played on the radio. [Music Slut]
2. Oh No! Oh My!, “Finally Found a Home†(Huey Lewis cover)
The Austin trio covers the News, which is actually a better idea than it has any right to be.

3. The Darkness, “Street Spirit (Fade Out)†(Radiohead cover)
A competent version of the Bends single, by a band that knows a thing or two about fading out. [Music Slut]
4. The Coral, “Put the Sun Backâ€
Even more compelling evidence that these Liverpudlians’ parents had great record collections. [Headphone Sex]
5. Common, “Play Your Cards Rightâ€
Common cut this track from his upcoming Finding Forever, which was probably his worst decision since Electric Circus. [Nah Right]
