Get Will.i.am's latest Obama tribute tune, unveiled yesterday on Oprah.
On the interesting covers front: Hot Chip covers Joy Division ...
... and Lily Allen teams up with Mick Jones to cover The Clash's "Straight to Hell" (you know, the tune sampled by M.I.A. in "Paper Planes" ... sampled in turn by Lily and Mick for this cover. Now that's meta).
