Soda makers Mountain Dew have launched a web-only music site, Green Label Sound. The site is still in its infancy, but it already boasts a pretty good exclusive track by the Cool Kids, dubbed "Delivery Man." The song is available as a free download. The site also promises an exclusive song soon from indie duo Matt & Kim, as well as two more artists coming in the fall. We're not sure if this is some kind of promotion for an ad campaign or Mountain Dew's attempt to enter the blogosphere, but so far the tunes are better than Code Red.

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
