Single Minded: Paul Anka Covers the Killers, Plus Ben Harper, Lyle Lovett, Yung Joc and Aesop Rock with the Mountain Goats

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. Paul Anka, “Mr. Brightside” [Stereogum] Anka covers the Killers, Cyndi Lauper and Daniel Powter. Okay, look, let’s just get this out of the way early: it’s a really, really slow Tuesday. Ben Harper, “In the Colors” [Ben Harper MySpace] Cat Stevens changes his name one more time and turns out this baleful little folk/soul song. Lyle Lovett, “Up in Indiana” [Lyle Lovett MySpace] That creepy baker from Short Cuts makes nice with this warm and winning foot-stomper. Yung Joc, “Coffee Shop” [Rhapsody] You can listen to all four minutes of this, or you can go here and preview thirty seconds of every song on the next Kanye West record. You make the call. Aesop Rock feat. John Darnielle, “Coffee” [Aesop Rock MySpace] Aesop Rock gets the Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle to contribute a guest verse on his new album, which is like the indie rock version of getting … well, no, actually it’s just pretty dorky. Bonus!: In addition to offering up Bruce Springsteen’s new single, “Radio Nowhere” for free download this week, iTunes is giving away Paul McCartney’s “Nod Your Head” from Memory Almost Full (the video is up for grabs, too).

Single Minded: The Hold Steady, Stephin Merritt, Hansard and Irglova

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. The Hold Steady, “Stay Positive” [Live] Circuitous lyrics? Oblique references to drug use? A winning combination of nostalgia and anxiety? Can it be anything other than a new Hold Steady song? Various Artists, A Whole Bunch of Mixtapes [Mixtapes] A bounty for Friday: a whole bunch of mixtapes, rarities, promo tracks and remixes from legends (and semi-legends) like Kool G Rap, Jeru the Damaja, MF Grimm and J Dilla. Stephin Merritt, “This Little Ukelele,” “The Nun’s Lament” [Live] In this NPR performance, Merritt makes a convincing case for the ukelele as the saddest of all instruments. Sorry, tuba! Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova, “Falling Slowly,” “If You Want Me,” “Once” [Live Videos] The antidote to end-of-week exhaustion: three stirring performances from these newly minted Oscar winners. The Mountain Goats, A Whole Slew of Covers [Covers] More impressive than John Darnielle’s finesse with his own songs is finesse handling other people’s. We strongly urge you to download his take on “The Sign.” [Photo: Getty]

On the Charts: Jack Johnson Dominates for Third Straight Week

The Big News: Rolling Stone cover boy Jack Johnson continues his charts dominance, staying at number one for a third consecutive week with an additional 104,890 copies sold. Officially, Alicia Keys’ As I Am placed number two, despite being outsold by Michael Jackson’s twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Thriller, which is ineligible from chart placement because it’s a “catalog album.” Amy Winehouse’s post-Grammy hangover still hasn’t worn off, as Back To Black grabbed the third spot. Moviegoers found a soundtrack they liked more than Juno, as Step Up 2: The Streets stepped up to number five. Sara Bareilles’ Little Voice also had a big week, making the jump from fifteen to seven. Debuts: Kidz Bop 13 debuted at four, further proving that little kids don’t know how to illegally download. Dipset’s Jim Jones’ Harlem’s American Gangster entered at nineteen despite being released as a mixtape last November. On the rock beat, the Raveonettes’ Lust Lust Lust placed 108, Ray Davies’ Working Man’s Café took 140 and the Mountain Goats’ critically-acclaimed Heretic Pride squeezed in at 195. Last Week’s Heroes: The Grammy bloom blew off Herbie Hancock’s River: The Joni Letters as the album fell from five to sixteen. Predictably, the Grammys nominees compilation also dropped from four to seventeen. It was a pretty bad week on all fronts, with only one non-debuting album in top sixty (Sara Bareilles) actually experiencing a growth in sales from the previous week. [Photo: Getty]

Single Minded: The Mountain Goats, American Music Club and More

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. The Raveonettes, “You Want the Candy” [MySpace] They don’t need no stinking zeitgeist! Everyone got really excited when the Magnetic Fields suddenly remembered Psychocandy, but Sharin & Sune have had that game on lock for years. The Mountain Goats, “Sax Rohmer #1″ [Video] The best-ever lyricist in indie rock returns, singing about a whole new batch of crazies, druggies and lonely lovers. On TMZ, those same people would be called “celebrities.” American Music Club, “All the Lost Souls Welcome You” [MySpace] Mark Eitzel has never sounded better. And by “better” we mean “sadder.” Someday we will corner Mark and tell him how much “Johnny Mathis’s Feet” once meant to us. Nicolay & Kay, “Blizzard (ft. Toby Hill)” [MySpace] It’s hard to say what the best part of this song is, the psych-soul hook, the old-school R&B production, or the faux-Prince scream that shows up every coupla bars. But we’re going to keep listening, again and again and again, until we figure it out. Allison Moorer, “Mockingbird” [Official Site] So, wait: first Shelby Lynne does an album of Dusty Springfield Covers, then Cat Power does a second covers record, now Allison Moorer turns in an album of — you guessed it! — covers. Are times really that tough for female singer-songwriters? Should we be worried that Miranda Lambert just asked to borrow our Debbie Boone albums?
