Leave it to Fall Out Boy to name their second single “Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet.” Folie A Deux (out November 4th), indeed. Maybe Folie a Quarte?

Either way, “Headfirst” is is relentlessly catchy — but if “I Don’t Care” didn’t catch on (it fell disgracefully out of iTune’s Top 40 less than a week after it was released — radio isn’t looking too hot either), I’m pretty sure “On A Bad Bet” won’t either. 

Where are all the Fall Out Boy fans that helped put “Arms Race” at #1? Listen to the track after the jump!

Time for your weekly dose of covers. This week was a little stale, but I managed to scoop out a few goodies from the vaults.

(The) Arcade Fire - Brazil (Bossonova cover)
This is a b-side from the “Rebellion (Lies)” era. It’s one of my favorites — I can’t believe I haven’t posted it yet. I always hear great things about it when I play it for other people.

Stereophonics - Best Of You (Foo Fighters cover)
This is a spunky cover of the rocklistic Foo Fighters classic courtesy of BBC’s Radio 1. It’s utterly fantastic.

Spoon - Rocks Off (Rolling Stones cover)
Spoon closed a San Francisco show at the Fillmore with this Rolling Stones tune. Here’s an exceptionally good live rip of the show.

Little Boots - Bring It On (Leon Jean Marie cover)
Here’s another fantastic cover by Little Boots — possibly better than her Hot Chip cover.

Banjo or Freakout - Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa (Vampire Weekend cover)
Alessio Natalizia (aka Banjo or Freakout) rids — Vampire Weekend favorite — “Cap Cod…” of it’s upper east side twang and gives it a dark and ominous Radiohead feel to it. Seriously one of the best covers I’ve heard this year — should we expect a record soon?

I’m a huge fan of Santi White (aka Santogold) and all, but I really thought that these “L.E.S. Artistes” remixes were over and done with. I’m not complaining though — I expected great things when I heard Left/Right was remixing this joint. Man, did they deliver.

Maybe it’s just the time span between the last new “L.E.S.” remix and this one, but damn does this sound good right now.

This time around Chris Brown is repaying T-Pain the favor and makes a not-so-subtle appearance on T-Pain’s on-and-off-again next single, “Freeze.” I talk a lot of smack about Kanye’s vocoder-fueled single — I can’t really say the same thing about T-Pain. He’s got that shit down. I just wouldn’t want to be their when the autotune spots.

With that said, this song’s production is pretty stellar (even the Justin Timberlake beat-boxing rip offs). This track is just missing the killer hook “Kiss Kiss” owned. Freeze, like me really doesn’t do it for me. Decide for yourself

Ah, the long awaited “Bounce” remix by DJ A-Trak has finally hit the internet. It seems people were generally split between love and hate when MSTRKFT’s “Bounce” first it the web. I really wouldn’t say I hated it — but I really wasn’t impressed at all. The first few remixes of “Bounce” weren’t so bad, but A-Trak definitely takes the cake.

Those Dancing Days did just that. This cover couldn’t have made its way to my hands at a better time, either — their debut album In Our Space Hero Suits is out in Europe now.

What better way to grab some free buzz than covering Britney Spears?

Guilty Pleasure Alert

Chi-Town native, Kid Sister is eagerly prepping the release of her debut album titled Dream Date. Two new songs off her Dream Date have, in fact, leaked. One of which is the official first single — “Family Reunion.” “Family Reunion” features an annoying David Banner (I seriously can’t stand that guy) but Kid Sister’s unparalleled skills at being amazing certainly saves the song.

“Control” is another mood-lifting track made unbelievably good by Kid Sister. Though she always does, Kid Sister reminds me of Lil Mama the most “Control” — though that isn’t necessarily a bad thing! Dream Date is rumored to see its release November 4th.

This week at the GTC, Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl” takes the No. 1 spot for the 7th week running. As it turns out, Katy Perry’s bi-curious summer jam caught on late in Europe and Australia. Though “I Kissed A Girl” has dropped off to No. 31 in the US’ Top 100 singles chart (though her new single “Hot ‘N Cold” is currently sitting at No. 6 — expect that to chart worldwide in 2-3 months). The rest of the chart seems pretty straightforward: Rihanna, no surprises here, P!nk, Coldplay, T.I., Kanye West, Pussycat Dolls. The only thing I’d like to mention is Kid Rock’s appearance in the Global chart. In the US, Kid Rock’s radio-friendly “All Summer Long” wasn’t released on iTunes guaranteeing (and limiting) its charting position into the lower 30’s-40’s. However, in Europe, the single has been made available digitally.

With Katy Perry’s washed up single at No. 1 and Kid Rock’s anti-charting song in the Top 10, it’s clear that America’s music chart isn’t as dominating as I thought it was. Talk about reality check.

Are We Human or Are We Dancer? What About Denser?

There has been much confusion and debate over a lyric in the chorus of the Killers’ new song “Human”. This is regarding whether or not Brandon Flowers is saying “denser” or “dancer”, when posing the question “Are we human or are we denser/dancer?” Though “denser” seemingly makes more sense in the context of the lyrics, Flowers’ pronunciation of the word clearly sounds like “dancer”. This has lead several critics to believe that Flowers is in fact saying dancer, and therefore questioning what the meaning of the lyric is. Entertainment Weekly’s Pop Watch section, called the lyrics the “silliest lyrics of the week” under the assumption that Flowers was saying “dancer” in the chorus. They were puzzled by this, stating “most dancers are generally human.” The Killers have yet to make any official statement regarding what the correct lyric is.

It seems quite clear in the context of they song, the word is “denser.” If he had meant to use dancer in conjunction with “are we human” it would be dancer(s) plural. [via wiki]
