Conor Oberst Sings Part of ‘Thunder Road’
2. 50 Cent, "Liar Liar"
50 helpfully translates all the nice things he's ever said to women. More often than not, he meant that he wanted to partake in sexual intercourse with them. [Nah Right]
3. Madonna vs. Britney Spears, "4 Minutes to Break the Ice"
If you'd have told us that mashing up Madonna's crappy new single with Britney's crappy old single would yield a song we'd actually want to hear a second time, we'd never have believed you — but you'd have been correct. We'll never doubt you again, hypothetical person. [Cold Cut]
4. Robyn feat. The Knife, "Who's That Girl?"
We haven't actually listened to this yet, but what are the chances it's not awesome? Zero. [Stereogum]
5. The National, "Mansion on the Hill" (Bruce Springsteen cover)
The Brooklyn quartet turns in an impressive version of Springsteen's greatest-ever song about precariously located real estate. [Fuel Friends]
