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.

Vampire Weekend, Live in January ‘08 [Live Set]
Well, it’s Friday, and Vampire Weekend are still a band. Maybe these kids are going to make it after all. Here’s a set they recorded at WXPN in Philly, so backlashers can now start talking about “how much they suck live.”

She & Him, “Bring it on Home to Me” [Sam Cooke Cover]
Zooey Deschanel & M. Ward manage the astonishing feat of not screwing up the greatest Sam Cooke song of all time. Britt Daniel: not as much.

Ghislain Remixes [Lil Mama/Kid Sister/Jay-Z Remixes]
Canadian DJ manages to hip up Lil Mama, flare up Kid Sister and tone down Jay-Z. Next up, Vampire Weekend?

Mark Ronson, “Just” [Spinner]
Sharon & band barrel through the kind of jaw-dropping live set that’s now become routine for them.
