Single Minded: Usher, Coldplay, 50 Cent Meets the 1950s and More

5/23/08, 11:20 am EST

Usher, “Love in this Club” (MSTRKRFT Remix) [Remix]
We can’t prove it, but we’re pretty sure it costs less to work with MSTRKRFT than it does with Garage Band. Though, in Polow’s defense, we spent about an hour looking for those supposed presets in our version to no avail. But when has the Internet ever lied to us before?

Coldplay, “Violet Hill” (Cryptonites Remix) [Remix]
OK, you’ve got us: S-M is excited for a Coldplay record. We know, we know. But the two songs we’ve heard makes it sound like someone has been feeding Chris Martin a bunch of Neu! records, and this remix is fierce and ferocious. Next, we expect to get way into Maroon 5, Katherine Heigl and turkey sandwiches.

DJ Doc Rock Presents 50 Cent’s Golden Oldies [Mashup Mixtape]
This mixtape hybridizes 50 Cent and ’50s classics, making this the one hip-hop record you can listen to with your grandma. Except that even your grandma would complain that 50’s flow is weak.

Ida, “Road to Ruin” [John & Beverly Martyn Cover]
Placid indie rock couple try their hand at covering placid British folk couple. You were expecting a run through “Know the Ledge”?

Various Artists, 2008 Party Mix [Remix Mixtape]
Just in time for Memorial Day is this week’s goldmine: Houston DJ Dave Wrangler transforms indie hits till their dancefloor proper. It’s like when everyone leaves school for summer vacation, and then they come back the next year and the old captain of the debate team is all into Slayer and body modification.

Coldplay is a bad, bad band. Not good.

the usher garageband loops are probably in garageband’s expansion packs. there are a bunch of them.

i’m pretty sure the little loop at the beginning of “what goes around” is from garageband too.
