A weekly playlist for the listener with a one-track mind...

MED featuring Aloe Blacc: "Where I'm From"

Southern Cal MC Medaphoar enlists Southern Cal soul singer Blacc for this blazing West Coast anthem.

Tim McGraw: "Felt Good on My Lips"

Country's most underrated superstar tries to revive the concert video (lots of running! And super-dramatic crane shots! And people doing the wave!) in this clip for his fine new single.

Tape Deck Mountain: "P.I."

The San Diego-based pop-Goth band's latest is a dark and fuzzy mid-fi gem about a particularly creepy private investigator.

TV Girl: "On Land"

San Diego mid-fi happiness, Part 2: If you're wondering what it would sound like if Wavves traveled back in time to 2002 and collaborated with a more benevolent version of the Strokes, here's your answer.

Kanye West: "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" samples

Thanks to this assemblage of all the samples used on Ye's new disc, the year's best album becomes the morning's best time-waster. Between this and the appearance on Girl Talk's latest, Black Sabbath is having a pretty good week.
