What’s-Her-Name Returns!
1. Britney Spears, “Why Did You Desert Me?â€
We think this girl had a few hits a few years ago. Anybody know what she’s been up to since? [Scrink]
2. Bruce Springsteen, “Radio Nowhereâ€
For a 57-year-old guy, Bruuuuuuuuce sounds way more vibrant than Brandon Flowers, Win Butler, or any of the other yahoos who pay homage to Jersey’s favorite son. [Fuel Friends]
3. Ben Lee, “Numbâ€
It’s been a busy time for this adorable Aussie: He covered all of New Wave (the latest album from Against Me!), and just released this single from his new album, a sort of hipster Elton John–cum–Weird Al Yankovic piano romp. [Mainstream Isn’t So Bad]
4. Chromeo, “Fancy Footwork (Guns’N’Bombs Remix)â€
2007 has been the year of frothy, hedonistic disco, and this remix will have all the club burnouts on there wishing they were stuck in the k-hole again. [Get Weird Turn Pro]
5. Ghosthustler, “Parking Lot Nightsâ€
If you’ve ever listened to the theme from Beverly Hills Cop and wished somebody would do some sort of no-fi Nintendocore reimagining, then today is the luckiest day of your life. [Bridging the Atlantic]
