Single Minded: Radiohead, Reggae, Female MCs and More

4/4/08, 1:03 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.

Radiohead, Live at the BBC 2008 [Live]
In a follow-up to their remix contest, Radiohead will be letting lucky fans run the soundboard for their upcoming tour. S-M is looking forward to treating New York City to two nights of all-bass Radiohead.

Various Artists, 4-Volume Women of Rap Compilation [Mixtape]
Eighty-five tracks, and not a reference to lip gloss among ‘em. You get Queen Latfiah pre-Oscar nom, Lauryn Hill pre-insanity and Lady of Rage pre-…whatever Lady of Rage did after this.

Various Artists, Just the Versions [Reggae Mix]
12 consecutive reggae B-sides, which is more dub than you can shake a stick at. Though if you’re going to listen to 12 consecutive reggae B-Sides, shaking those sticks is probably not what you had in mind.

Various Artists, The Funky Side of Rock & Roll [Mixtape]
White rock bands take on funk and emerge more-or-less unscathed. Unlikely highlight: the Osmonds barreling through a song called “Crazy Horses,” which we’re fairly sure is about the apocalypse. One sign of the apocalypse? The Osmonds performing a funk song.

Various Artists, Ethiopia’s Revolutionary ’60s [Guided Tour]
A history of Ethiopian music in the ’60s fleshed out with embedded, full-length songs. Unlike retrospectives of American music from the ’60s, you don’t have to suffer through “Born to be Wild.”
