Mike Posner is a Duke graduate who spent his weekends trying to be a rock star by touring and working on mixtapes. Managed by the same manager as not-quite-there-yet rapper Wale, he's collaborated with artists as cool as Kid Cudi and as lame as 3OH!3. His debut single, "Cooler Than Me", just made the top 40 this week at position No. 40 and is available for free legal download here. It's one part Sam Sparro, one part Kid Cudi, and one part Robin Thicke. Check the video below, but be warned, the song doesn't start until a minute in. What was his manager thinking?
Billboard.com announced a new feature to their site, Mashup Monday, where artists cover cross genre songs and set the blogs on fire. It's like the American version of the popular BBC show Live Lounge on Radio 1 and hopefully it ends up being as good.
Billboard kicks off the feature with Florida indie band We The Kings covering "Paparazzi" by Lady Gaga. Download the stripped down track for free here.
It was inevitable. Someone was bound to mash-up Taylor Swift and Kanye West after the Video Music Awards incident. Mash-up artist Makaio put the teen country sensation's "You Belong With Me" to a dance beat and mashed it with Ye's "Stronger". It's so good. Download it by clicking here. And if that doesn't work? Try here. Or here. Or here. Hopefully that works for everyone.
Big Pink took on Beyonce's "Sweet Dreams" in their recent radio performance for Live Lounge and the outcome in amazing. The song is completley reinvented. Download it for free by clicking here.
Weezer recently covered the Coldplay hit "Viva La Vida". Nothing too spectacular, but Weezer is great, Coldplay is great, and free music is great. Download it here.
Radiohead covered the 90's alt-rock classic "Wonderwall" and its pretty miserable but, as they said over at Pretty Much Amazing, "...hey, it’s Radiohead, so I guess it makes it ok. They might be one of a very select few bands that can get away with covering, and simultaneously ‘taking a piss’ (as our English friends would say) on such a 90’s classic". Download it here.
So there is this guy named Eric Hassle and he teamed up with MPHO for his new single "Don't Bring Flowers". It reminds me of the Maroon 5/Rihanna collaboration but its even better. Download it for FREE by clicking here.
Here's the song sans MPHO.
In public relations, there are times to pre-empt a controversy by coming out first a statement before you're criticized. At other times, doing that actually creates a controversy that wouldn't have happened in the first place. Kelly Clarkson and her new single "Already Gone" is an example of the latter..
It takes about five seconds listening to the song to realize Ryan Tedder had a hand in it.
All his songs are extremely melodic, have very distinct percussion, and are gobble up by Americans. He's responsible for "Apologize", "Bleeding Love", Beyonce's "Halo", and Clarkson's new track.
.
Anyways, Kelly heard Beyonce's song and was all like, "Girl, you stole my jam!" and Beyonce was all like, "Nuh uh girl, I got this from Ryan." and then Kelly was all like, "Ryan! You a playa! You gave me and Beyonce the same song and mine came out later so everyone's gonna be all like Kelly you stole Beyonce's song!" and then Ryan was all like,
.
"Already Gone” is one of the best song I’ve written or produced since “Bleeding Love” and stands tall on it’s own merits apart from “Halo”. They are two entirely different songs conceptually, melodically, & lyrically and I would never try to dupe an artist such as Kelly Clarkson or Beyoncé into recording over the same musical track, the idea is both hurtful & absurd.I think when people hear “Already Gone” they will hear what I hear-one of the greatest female vocalists on earth giving her most haunting and heart-breaking performance on a song she helped write. I challenge people to listen and form their own opinions."
.
If Clarkson wouldn't have said anything, this wouldn't be an issue...but she did and now Ryan Tedder is pissed and will never write for her again. In a bit of damage control, the song is being offered for free. You can download it here. Honestly, all this extra press is probably helping the song and her album All I Ever Wanted sell better than it would have. Go ahead form your own opinion here:
Shakira's new track, the English language "She Wolf", is available for free download on the ABC Artist Lounge website. The single is a hipster indie-pop stomper complete with neo-disco guitar licks and strings and of course, the singer's trademark Latin Alanis Morissette-like vocals. All it costs is your e-mail address. Get the track for a limited time here.
For a limited time, fans can download Coldplay's live album LeftRightLeftRightLeft free from their website. The nine track set is being given away as a thank you to fans who have supported the band on their Viva La Vida World Tour. It's sick. It's the best zero dollars you'll spend all day. All you have to do is enter your e-mail and what country you live in and then after you download the file you have to unzip it. Enjoy.
Free Download Bloc Party Covers Girls Aloud
"Call The Shots" is a UK #3 hit for the critically acclaimed and commercially unstoppable sirens, the Girls Aloud. Written and produced the heralded Xenomania team, "Shots" continued the Aloud's unbroken streak of top ten hits (which now sits at twenty with no signs of slowing down). Kele Okereke, lead singer of Bloc Party (whose album Intimacy was 17 Tracks #1 album of 2008) has, along with Chris Martin of Coldplay, has been vocal in his love for the Girls and what better way to show it than covering one of their songs for Radio 1 Live Lounge. Bloc Party and Girls Aloud need to cover each others songs more often. Preview the Girl's original and download Bloc Party's cover. It'll be the best zero cents you'll spend today.
Lily Allen Covers "Womanizer"With the track stripped of its synthesized electro-glam and computerized purrs, you realize that it's actually a real song with a melody and stuff. Crazy. Lily Allen does "Womanizer" justice. Link to download below. Warning: don't try to download it at school or work because the page you download it from may have a semi-scandalous picture of Jessica Simpson on the side in hopes that all red-blooded males and lesbians will click on it.
Free and Legal Download"2 of Hearts" - Annie
At the crossroads of Pitchfork's judgmental indie snobbery and Popjustice's campy and irreverent defensiveness is Annie, Norway's underground electropop singer. The Scandinavian starlet's self titled debut in 2004 produced "Heartbeat" and "Chewing Gum" (Pitchfork's #1 and #11 songs of the year respectively) and fans eagerly awaited it's follow up, Don't Stop, which was due out this year. The album, in its entirety, leaked onto the net this summer and now her label announced that it won't be available until April 2009. Usually, when albums leak, record companies push the release date up, but no, their going to push it back seven more months.
Today, Annie's Richard X produced cover of Suzie Q's "2 of Hearts" has hit the web. Apparently it's legal because its on the front page of Pitchfork, Popjustice, Idolator, and even Richard X's own website. Annie's calm coo glides effortlessly over X's multi-layered syth track to create yet another intelligent dance song that will satisfy hipsters and pop lovers alike.

Santogold, Pharrell, and Julian Casablancas of the Strokes collaberation, "My Drive Thru" is available for free on the Converse website. Why would a shoe company be giving away a free song? To get more people to it's website I guess. Whatever the reason it's a sick track. Trademark Strokes guitar, trademark Santogold yelping, and trademark N.E.R.D. production.

More free downloads already? Yes. This week we have the first single from The Faint's new album Fasciinatiion (out today) entitled "The Geeks Were Right" and Keane's new single, "Spiralling".
"The Geeks Were Right" depicts a horrendous future where all of our worst B list horror movie fears have come true rendered in the Faint's signature "death by synthesizer" attitude. "Spiralling" shows that Keane has grown up from their Disney soundtrack sounding beginnings and are now making earnest rock music you can dance too. Popjustice described it saying, "It sounds like about a hundred things you've already heard, but you've never heard them all together before and you've never heard them with all these trademark Keanisms thrown on top."
For those of you sick of having to enter in your e-mail address and be spammed with artist news, the Faint download is no strings attached. But seriously, are the one or two spams you get before you remove yourself from the mailing list really all that bad? You got to get these downloads before they dissapear and I promise that they will be the best zero cents you've spent all week.

Two British acts are releasing free songs on their website for a limited time. Coldplay offers their second free song, "Death Will Never Conquer" as a thank you to fans for supporting them on their tour. It is a piano folk diddy that clocks in at 1:16.
Do you ever listen to the Spice Girls and wonder why they don't sound British when they sing but they do when they talk? Yeah, me too. The Streets is a guy who is very British when he sings...no, he doesn't sing...when he raps...well, he doesn't really rap either, he kind of talks over his tracks. He is pretty good though; like the British Eminem. You can get his new single "The Escapist" off his site.
Even if you hate both the songs, they were free right? Enjoy!
