A weekly playlist for the listener with a one-track mind.
Chris Brown featuring Drake, Kanye West, T.I., Fabolous, Rick Ross and Andre 3000: "Deuces (Remix)"
The latest stop on his Let's Just Forget the Whole Thing Happened Tour: A Chris Brown remix so epic, so masterful, it's almost possible to forget Chris Brown is on it.
The Secret Sisters featuring Jack White: "Big River"
The Alabama duo, part-time signees to White's Third Man label, team with the boss for a Johnny Cash cover equally influenced by the Andrews Sisters and Led Zeppelin.
Sleigh Bells: "Holly"

Boobe featuring Raheem DeVaughn: "My Way"
From the Department of Things We Wish Were Sinatra Covers: The Oy Boyz mainstay enlists DeVaughnÖ for this mid-tempo banger that's pretty great, regardless.
Gayngs: "By Your Side"
The super mellow supergroup (featuring Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, among many others) essays the longest, irony-free -est Sade cover in the long history of irony-free Sade covers.
