In this edition: Prog rockers! Cartoon ladies! Hot rappers! And, um, Courtney Love!

Battles – “Atlas” (from Mirrored on Warp)
In which the quartet perform their neo-post-electro-prog-punk track (that sounds something like Helmet being remixed live by Aphex Twin over a Gary Glitter beat) in what appears to be a glass box floating through space

Mark Ronson – “Oh My God” (from Version on Columbia)
In which a young man develops an interest in a sexy young… cartoon. She’s not bad, she’s just drawn that way

Lil’ Wayne – Rap City Freestyle (performed live on BET’s Rap City, 4/20/07)
In which the Miami-via-New Orleans rapper takes a breather from guesting on every single track in the whole world to prove why he’s in demand, with an awe-inspiring off-the-cuff live performance over a syrupy reggae-inflected beat

Courtney Love – “Pacific Coast Highway” (live at Bush Hall, London, 7/9/07; from the forthcoming Nobody’s Daughter on Universal)
In which the often-troubled singer, currently on a “low-key” tour to familiarize her band with new songs, gives a London audience a glimmer of what was so compelling about her music ten years ago

BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
