Twista Exhibits Pimplike Symptoms

1. Twista, “Pimp Like Me�
In case 2004’s “Pimp On� failed to deliver the message, Twista would, again, like to inform you of his pimp status. [The Fader]

2. Noel Gallagher, “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away� (Beatles cover)
Now that it’s been 42 years since Help!, Noel probably thinks he can just pass this off as an Oasis song. We’ll allow it. [To Die by Your Side]

3. Northern State, “No Surprises� (Radiohead cover)
The female Beastie Boys cover the fragile ballad from OK Computer — what could possibly go wrong? [Stereogum]

4. The White Stripes vs. Led Zeppelin, “Tricky Thump�
The White Stripes’ most recent single, mashed up with a Led Zeppelin song that it already kind of sounded like. [Mike the Knife]

5. The Section Quartet, “Phenomena� (Yeah Yeah Yeahs cover)
Just in case you’d ever wondered what one of 2006’s greatest non-hits would sound like played by a string orchestra, here you go. [Stereogum]
