The best songs on the web this week..
- Lykke Li covers Kings of Leon
The Swedish popstress takes on the Nashville rockers’ tale of a condemned pregnancy and creates a bit of magic with KOL’s Caleb Followill on backing vocals. [MP3]
- Aeroplane remix MGMT
Nearly a year on and MGMT are still doing the business. This remix of ‘Electric Feel’ is another master-stroke from Belgium’s Aeroplane after their reworking of Grace Jones and Friendly Fires.[MP3]
- Peter Gabriel covers Vampire Weekend
Not content with being namechecked in the song ‘Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa’, Gabriel repays the compliment by getting together with Hot Chip to record his own version. [Illegal Tender]
- The Rub’s Best of 2008
Give it up one last time for 2008. A two hour mix of the best hip-hop and R&B tunes of last year as put together by the same guys who made those exhaustively brilliant hip-hop mixes. [The Rub]
