Paramore's Hayley Williams may be addicted to misery, but the band's new single "I Caught Myself" kicks ass. The band recorded two tracks for the upcoming Twilight soundtrack: Decode and I Caught Myself. Paramore continues to rock the emo scene without coming off as whiny (see: Avril Lavigne).
Next up, Justin Timberlake has released a new track "Magic." Whether or not this will be the first official single off his new album is yet to be seen. This new one from JT is straight up dance/pop and reminds me more of Justified than it does FutureSex/Love Sounds. The Timbaland influence is definitely missing, but the track is pretty good nonetheless.
Tunes:
Paramore - I Caught Myself
Justin Timberlake - Magic

Yet another music drop. This time around we've got some cover tracks from three of the music blog scene's favorite artists: Ryan Adams, The Kooks, & Moby.
Ryan Adam's cover of "Wonderwall" by Oasis is a quiet, mellow, version of the British rockers' most well known song. While the track loses some of its arena sing-along quality, this echoing, acoustic cover is top notch.
Speaking of British rockers--it seems the Kooks fresh off their cover of MGMT's "The Kids," have done it again. This time the boys from across the pond tackled one of my newest favorite songs "Young Folks" by Peter Bjorn and John. The Kooks added their own spin to the song and gave it a feel reminiscent of Elvis Costello.
Finally we've got a Moby cover of Radiohead's "Creep." It's a live track so you have to sit through a little crowd noise in the beginning but it's worth it. I'm not that big on Moby, but this track will definitely have me giving him a fresh listen.
Tunes:
Ryan Adams - Wonderwall (Oasis over)
The Kooks - Young Folks (Peter Bjorn and John cover)
Moby - Creep (Radiohead cover)
I know its late Sunday and its almost Monday but I just came across some cool songs of the pop variety and figured I'd post them before I forgot.
First up is Lady Gaga with "Paper Gangsta" a fast paced pop song with a kick ass piano backing. Lady Gaga, an NYU alum, has been tearing through the online music scene of late and rightfully so.
Next up is "Another for the Darkness" by Gemma Hayes. Gemma Hayes is an Irish singer-songwriter in the vain of Missy Higgins or Tristan Prettyman with a little mainstream Colbie Callait thrown in for good measure.
The third track Lilly Allen's latest "Everyone's At It," one of her best in my opinion, is an ode to drug use and addiction. The dance-pop tune has some cool electronic background noise. I'm sure a few remixes with pop up in the next few days.
To round out the quartet we've got Lovers Electric with "Start Again." If you happen to enjoy shitty television, you might recognize the Lovers Electric from MTVs The Hills which featured a number of their songs. The Australian electro-pop duo was recently on tour supporting Colbie Callait.
Tunes:
Lady Gaga - Paper Gangsta
Gemma Hayes - Another for the Darkness
Lilly Allen - Everyone's At It
Lovers Electric - Start Again
