Duffy, “Cry to Me” [Solomon Burke Cover]
New British soul star tackles old American one with effective results. In 20 years at the Grammys, their holograms can duet.

R.E.M., “Ignoreland” [Live]
Stipe and Co. finally (!) dust off this 16-year-old rocker for their current tour. Unwelcome surprise: the song’s message is still depressingly relevant.

Big L, “Put it On” (J Dilla RMX) [Remix]
Legendary VJ Ralph McDaniels syncs this Big L classic to J Dilla’s remix of the same. Essentially, these are three geniuses, operating at the peak of their powers. Like that time Charles Dickens and Amanda Lorber wrote that one episode of Twin Peaks.

Calico Horse, “Idioteque” [Radiohead Cover]
It took a California alt-country band to make a song about fear, anxiety and paranoia sound sweet and lilting. For their next challenge, they’ll be writing a series of lullabies based on the works of Einsturzende Neubauten.

Various Artists, “Come Together” [Beatles Cover]
And who brings people together like the Beatles? We want to point out that the last version on this page is performed by Robin Williams and Bobby McFerrin — presumably during the downtime from a certain music video? Isn’t this song called “Come Together,” not “Drive Away?”
