Single Minded: The Mountain Goats, American Music Club and More

2/19/08, 11:17 am 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.

The Raveonettes, “You Want the Candy” [MySpace]
They don’t need no stinking zeitgeist! Everyone got really excited when the Magnetic Fields suddenly remembered Psychocandy, but Sharin & Sune have had that game on lock for years.

The Mountain Goats, “Sax Rohmer #1″ [Video]
The best-ever lyricist in indie rock returns, singing about a whole new batch of crazies, druggies and lonely lovers. On TMZ, those same people would be called “celebrities.”

American Music Club, “All the Lost Souls Welcome You” [MySpace]
Mark Eitzel has never sounded better. And by “better” we mean “sadder.” Someday we will corner Mark and tell him how much “Johnny Mathis’s Feet” once meant to us.

Nicolay & Kay, “Blizzard (ft. Toby Hill)” [MySpace]
It’s hard to say what the best part of this song is, the psych-soul hook, the old-school R&B production, or the faux-Prince scream that shows up every coupla bars. But we’re going to keep listening, again and again and again, until we figure it out.

Allison Moorer, “Mockingbird” [Official Site]
So, wait: first Shelby Lynne does an album of Dusty Springfield Covers, then Cat Power does a second covers record, now Allison Moorer turns in an album of — you guessed it! — covers. Are times really that tough for female singer-songwriters? Should we be worried that Miranda Lambert just asked to borrow our Debbie Boone albums?
