Single Minded: Flo Rida, The Hush Sound, Lyrics Born, The Matches 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. Flo Rida, “American Superstar” [MySpace] Not nearly as good as Ken Tucky. She & Him, “Sentimental Heart” [MySpace] Zooey Deschanel teams with indie-folk singer-songwriter M. Ward for a record of cruising AM radio pop. The label was originally hoping for Ellen Page and Ryan Adams, but both backed out due to “other commitments.” Lyrics Born, “Hot 2 Deff” [Hype Machine] The latest from nimble indie rapper is titled Everywhere At Once — a veiled reference to that damned Flo Rida song. The Hush Sound, “Honey” [MySpace] Chicago quartet makes stately, ornamented pop perfect to accompany those long, long nights at South Pacific rehearsal after school. The Matches, “Wake the Sun” [Hype Machine] When their new album leaked, California rock band the Matches suggested that everyone who downloaded it donate to a charity. They humbly recommend a charity called “Keep the Matches Employed.”

Panic at the Disco Debut Stripped-Down Set, Sound on Honda Civic Tour There were some jarring product placements at the opening night of Panic at the Disco’s North American outing — even for something called the Honda Civic Tour. Motion City Soundtrack, the Hush Sound and Phantom Planet opened, and between sets automobile commercials alternated with videos from acts on the record label that distributes PATD’s music. (Click here for photos from last night’s show.) The Las Vegas quartet finally took the stage more than two and a half hours after the show began, opening with the salutary “We’re So Starving” and the current hit “Nine in the Afternoon.” The band alternated considerably less aggressive versions of tracks from A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out with stripped-down selections from its elaborate new album Pretty. Odd. Whether it was first-night jitters, a lack of sufficient rehearsal time, or the simple fact that their music is dependent on dozens of overdubs both from themselves and a myriad of outside players, Panic’s live presence was decidedly tentative. Drummer Spencer Smith proved himself the most confident musician: While other members cautiously approached what was essentially an entire set comprised of new and daunting arrangements, he supplied a momentum otherwise lacking from older album tracks like “Camisado” and intricate new cuts like “She’s a Handsome Woman.” Singer Brendon Urie furrowed and arched his brow to signify emotions he couldn’t fully articulate with hands occupied with guitars, while guitarist Ryan Ross looked uncomfortable and affable bassist Jon Walker acted as spokesman. Despite the fact that Panic had traded its burlesque dancers, frilly costumes and androgynous makeup for muted beige outfits and facial hair, the largely teenage and female audience screamed as if attending a boy-band spectacle. And to some degree, they were: Walker chided Urie for taking a sip from a beer, as the frontman was two days shy of his twenty-first birthday; an event Smith won’t celebrate for several m
