Dokaka - "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (MP3). You may recognize Dokaka from Bjork's Medulla. (Assuming you remember Medulla better than me, that is.) He's a Japanese beatboxer, and the dude's got skills. If he didn't, his all-vocal cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" might test your patience - but he totally nails it. The choruses are a bit much IMO, but just the fact that he pulls this off wins serious points.

Simon Bookish - "Terry Riley Disco (Max Tundra remix)" (MP3). Tundra's frantically catchy glitch-pop and Bookish's relaxed, almost crooner-like vocals balance each other perfectly here. As much as I love Tundra's take on the Futureheads, this is easily my favorite remix of his. Highly recommended.

The Human League - "The Things That Dreams Are Made Of" (MP3). Up until about a month ago, I equated the Human League with "Don't You Want Me" - a solid single, for sure, but not the kind of thing I put on much. But then I discovered Carl Craig's fantastic Beats in Space mix (MP3), which ends with "The Things That Dreams Are Made Of," and I found a whole new Human League - way more insidious and way more my thing. (Cheers to 33/45 for hooking me up with this file.)

Cat Power - "Dreams" (MP3). I'm hopelessly behind on leaks, so I haven't heard all of Cat Power's new record The Greatest yet. (It's out next week.) The little I have heard, though, has me thinking it'll be my favorite of her albums yet. Case in point - her gorgeous cover of the Everly Brothers' "Dreams," The Greatest's Japanese bonus track.

Pretty Girls Make Graves - "The Nocturnal House" (MP3). PGMG may have finally won me over with the dubbed-out power pop of this track, from the upcoming Elan Vital. Love those whistles at the start!
