Single Minded: Shelby Lynne, Joe Jackson, Mars Volta, Vampire Weekend and Protest the Hero 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. Vampire Weekend, “Oxford Comma,” “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa” [Official Site] Vampire Weekend’s songs are bright and bouyant, so it’s a shame that by the time you finish reading this everyone you know will already hate them. Joe Jackson, “King Pleasure Time” [MySpace] After five years, Joe Jackson returns with a whole new batch of songs for the Raconteurs to crib from. Shelby Lynne, “Willie and Laura Mae Jones” [Official Site] Lynne gives a once-over to the Dusty Springfield catalog but, to the incredible relief of anyone who attended college in the Nineties, spares us the song they used in Pulp Fiction. The Mars Volta, “Untitled Exclusive Track” [Official Site] Successfully solve this puzzle, and get rewarded with an exclusive Mars Volta track. We’d tell you what it sounds like, but at a certain point the reward was no longer worth the effort. That “certain point” was after, like, nine or ten seconds. Protest the Hero, “Bloodmeat” [MySpace] And speaking of prog! Canadian band imagines a side project between Rush and Skid Row. Make of that what you will. [Photo: Getty]
