The Monday Punch: N.E.R.D, Kaskade, Gnarls Barkley, Melanie C, Nelly Furtado, Free MP3s
>
Time for a little click list for you to enjoy this Monday. A bunch of free MP3 downloads and other goodness included. Enjoy.
Basement Jaxx have remixed Adele's new U.K. single "Cold Shoulder." It is only available on 12" vinyl, but the group is streaming the mix on their MySpace page. It's very good. Better than the original.
My Toronto buddy Will W. saw Melanie C perform on Saturday and loved it.
Casxio is an emerging Los Angeles outfit that combine funk and soul with some peppered falsetto. Check out a free MP3 download of their lead track "Seventeen" here.
Sample a brand-new N.E.R.D. tune in this new Zune commercial. This track is called "Spazz" and if look closely you will see that the commercial also reveals N.E.R.D.'s album cover for "Seeing Sounds." I'm loving the beat on this track.
Did anybody attend The Night of A Thousand Stevies on Friday?
Toronto indie rocker Tokyo Police Club are just everywhere. Download a remix of their song "Tessellate" that was produced by Tom Campesinos. (I tend to mix them up with Tokyo Hotel who are from Germany but sound quite different.)
Fans of MTV's The Hills should check out Headway's "The Start."
Kaskade released a minute of his collaboration with Deadmau5. It is called "Move For Me" and it sounds very promising. Great summer dance tune. Ibiza here I come!
Have you been paying attention to Gnarls Barkley new work? I think their new record "The Odd Couple" is inches away from brilliant and their new single "Going On" is fantastic. See the video for it here.
What's hot in the global charts right now? Marco Borsato (The Netherlands), Hero (Japan), Stealing Love Jones (South Africa), Nelly Furtado (Bolivia).

That N.E.R.D. track is pretty sweet. Saw them at SXSW, they were great.

The cover in the Zune commercial is not the same as the actual album cover. (http://i28.tinypic.com/24b3ubl.png)

OOff. You usually have great taste but don't care for that Jaxx mix of Adele. Frantic and noisy imho.
