1. Busta Rhymes feat. The Game, Nas, Lil' Wayne, Reek Da Villian, Spliff Starr and Big Daddy Kane - 'Don't Touch Me' (Throw Water On 'Em) (from TheCyberKrib United)
This remix must have criss-crossed America to get so star-spangled (Busta's a New Yorker, The Game's from LA and Lil' Wayne calls New Orleans home). As a result, it's far more club- than carbon-friendly.
2. Weezer - 'Troublemaker' (from Fluxblog)
Weezer live in the strongest of glasshouses. After all, how many tongue-in-cheek songs about vacuous Hollywood Rock Stars can Hollywood Rock Star Rivers Cuomo write? At least 4,000 to date we reckon. How long before we get tired of them? Not quite yet.
3 Coldplay - 'Lovers in Japan' (from Stereogum)
We would have pointed you to this last week but for a disreputable blogger's illegal posting. This acoustic version of one of the best songs from their forthcoming Viva la Vida LP is from a more reliable source. Last week we were going to call it achingly beautiful. Our opinion hasn't changed much.
4 Women - 'Cameras' (from Said the Gramophone)
If The Strokes sang to you through the Telectroscope it would sound like this.
5 Mr. Gnome- 'Pirates' (from No Dessert For You)
Ghostly/noisy art rock (Wait! Come back! etc and so on...) from a boy and girl from Cleveland, Ohio. Let's say Bjork meets Black Sabbath, shall we?
