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.

Jewel, “Stronger Woman” [YouTube]
In what we consider a hilarious instance of the music industry’s left hand not knowing what the right is doing, the version of this video that’s linked Jewel’s official MySpace has been removed. Presumably, Jewel was violating her own copyright. Magic!

Weezer, “Pork and Beans” [MySpace]
Latest single from Weezer revels in being proudly uncool. Which we think might also have been the premise of “Beverly Hills,” but it’s been a while.

Ashanti, “Things You Make Me Do” [Official Site]
Wait, Ashanti can still put records out, but not Amerie? Who’s the gatekeeper of the single-named superstars? Can we just link the Amerie song anyway, so you can see what you’re missing? P.S.: It’s “Gotta Work.”

Opeth, “Porcelain Heart [MySpace]
A reliable combination of brutality and majesty from the one band that is expert in both.

Jean Grae, “Love Thirst” [MySpace]
So, this is what it has come to: Jean Grae is going to retire. This song finds her showing off her romantic side — one last kiss before the lights go out.
