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.

KITT, The Amazing Car of Tomorrow, “A Knight Rider Christmas” [Heart on a Stick]
Yeah, that’s not a typo. It’s a car, rapping about Christmas.

Houghas Sorowonko, “Groovy Christmas & New Year” [Voodoo Funk]
You’re going to need something to set you straight after the KITT song. This simmering slice of Afrofunk is just the thing.

Okkervil River, “Golden Opportunities” Mixtape [Okkervil River Site]
Diving full-on into the spirit of giving, Austin folk band offers up a free mixtape of covers. Sadly left uncovered: “A Knight Rider Christmas.”

Various Artists, “Leather Canary XMas Mix #5″ [The Leather Canary]
We want to point out that, in addition to Al Green and Smokey Robinson, this mixtape contains the immortal, “R2-D2, We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” Apparently, today’s lesson is that if you are some kind of machine who has recorded a Christmas song, we will link to you. What’s that? You taught your toaster Serato? We are on that.

Various DJs, Technics World DJ Mixing Championships [Bust the Facts 2]
And now, our holiday gift to you: coming to you live and direct from twenty years ago, an epic and engaging battle of the turntablists — on video. Now these competitions are held in pneumatic tubes on Saturn and feature iPods and the power of the mind. Oh, how times have changed.
