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.
The Cure, “A Forest” [Live]
Chilling Cure performance from 1980, before they got all dolled up in ersatz Gothwear. Truth be told, Robert Smith is creepier without the makeup.
Nick Cave, “Here Comes the Sun” [Beatles Cover]
Nick Cave manages to make even the Beatles’ most optimistic moment sound like a death rattle.
Sugababes, “Hey There Delilah” [Plain White T’s Cover]
Woefully underheard British pop band takes a whack at woefully overheard American sensations. Both come out the better for it.
AZ vs. Al Green, “I Am the Truth” [Mashup]
The sacred vs. the profane: mid-Nineties legend imbues the sweetest Al Green songs with a palpable sense of menace. You should hear his Hannah Montana remixes.
Radiohead, “Nude” [Amplive Remix]
Wow. California MC Amplive slices and dices a (let’s face it, kind of bloodless) new Radiohead song and turns it into a sleek and simmering hip-hop track. If more of In Rainbows sounded like this, we might not feel so chapped about shelling out for the discbox.
