11/13/07, 12:25 pm EST

Every Tuesday Single Minded highlights new tracks hitting stores (or the Web) this week. On Fridays, come back for rarities, remixes, mash-ups and more.

Duran Duran & Justin Timberlake, “Nite Running” [The Cold Cut]
The Eighties pop-rockers hit the lotto, linking up with the cash-cow team of Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. However, the product is more FutureSounds than Rio, as JT makes DD sound like his backing band.

The Hives, “T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S.” [Twelve Major Chords]
Sweden’s Best Dressed Punks collabo with the Neptunes’ Pharrell Williams on what is either another “We Are the Hives” posturing anthem or the worst spelled, yet catchiest, ode to thieves ever. Remember, I before E except after C.

Alicia Keys, Four Songs From As I Am [Pretty Much Amazing]
If you’re too frightened to wander over to Keys’ MySpace page to sample some of her new tunes, check out the four-song album preview above, complete with Keys’ duet with John Mayer, “Lesson Learned.”

LCD Soundsystem, “Freak Out/Starry Eyes” [Merry Swankster]
This song, which originally appeared on the B-side of Sound of Silver single “All My Friends,” gets a second, easier-to-come-by release on LCD comp 45:33, named after the Nike-commissioned workout track that’s forty-five minutes and fifty-eight seconds long.

The Spice Girls, “Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)” [The Beeb Blog]
In case you didn’t want to make your way down to Victoria’s Secret, the exclusive carrier of the girl group’s Greatest Hits, you can listen to their first reunion song at the above link. But who doesn’t like going to Victoria’s Secret? It’s fun for everyone.

HAHA… I see we have some unemployed fact checkers in our midst. Clearly, Rolling Stone needs to hang a “Help Wanted” sign in the window..

Justin Timberlake is such a tool. I was really pissed when The Stones let him on stage with them. what the fuck?

The Duran Duran song you’re referencing is called “Nite Runner”, not “Nite Running”.

BTW, the blog with the Alicia Keys songs is called Pretty Much Amazing… not Pretty Amazing.
