This week for 5 On A Friday, a a taste of what was "hot" this week.
(sorry no direct MP3 links today, all will direct you to another page where you can hear the song)

1:Sure, Amercian Idol wasted a lot of powerful technology to bring you Celene Dion singing with a virtual Elvis, but this was the one AI moment you truly needed to see.


2: Covering LCD Soundsystem's song All My Friends was one of the in things to do. Here are versions by by Franz Ferdinand and John Cale.

MP3: Franz Ferdinand - All My Friends (via Kwaya Na Kisser)
MP3: John Cale - All My Friends (via Let's Sexy Fighting)


3: Icky Thump. For me Jack White's been long past overkill, but he's still back with more. Here's the first single for the new White Stripes disc of the same name.

MP3: The White Stripes - Icky Thump (via Your Head's Not Right)

4: iTunes UK springs a leak allowing an early return of Bjork from the planet Iceland with more of her trademark soundscaping.

MP3 : Bjork - Earth Intruders (via Who Killed The Mixtape)

5: A baby spoonful of information about the new Spoon disc. The cover art for Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga.
