Single Minded: Raekwon, Hot Chip Remix Pharcyde, Coldplay and More Raekwon feat. Mika Lett, “Once in a Lifetime” [Advance Track] For a guy who complained that the last Wu-Tang record didn’t have enough “Punch you in the face music,” Rae sure gives a lot of this song over to the sweet cooing of soul singer Mika. Maybe he meant “punch you in the face… with kisses?” Pharcyde, “Passin’ Me By” [Hot Chip Remix] Well, I didn’t think it was possible, but electro-hipsters Hot Chip somehow improve this classic Pharcyde track, making it sound like something the RZA forgot to put on Enter the Wu-Tang. Next up, Jens Lekman reworks “You Can’t Fade Me.” Nas & DJ Green Lantern, The Nigger Tape [Mixtape] He’s going to use that title one way or another. The good news is that this is incendiary, everything you’d expect and more (even with the Mike Tyson tribute). About five minutes in Green Lantern pops in to say, “I ain’t gonna do a whole lotta talking on this tape.” Fine by us. DJ Doc Roc/Coldplay, “Violet Hill” [Remix] Remember the last time we gave you a Coldplay remix? That didn’t work out so well. Well, this one we know is a Coldplay remix because the remixer was kind enough to include video. And if we can see something it must be true. That’s why we completely revised our opinion on birds after seeing Heckle & Jeckle. Magpies can talk! Pointer Sisters, “Send Him Back” (Pilooski Edit) [Remix] Man oh man: French remixer sets this 20-year-old Pointer Sisters track on fire, riveting in a lockstep dance groove and sprinkling strings all over it like fairy dust. And if that isn’t enough, check the Frankie Valli remix on the same page: thump-thump bassline, frantic percussion and a vocal that could pass for vintage soul. [Photo: Getty]

Behind the Scenes at Grammys: Paramore, Beyonce, Mika, Aretha Franklin, More The red carpet at the Grammy Awards this year was a bit like a bad acid trip: 500 feet of crimson carpet, a group of scary-looking Sgt. Pepper’s dancers with freaky makeup, an Amy Winehouse lookalike working for the TV Guide Channel and bleachers packed with crazed fans singing every song by the artists that came their way. Rock Daily spied Yoko Ono going in for a photo op with Beyoncé (but at the last second Solange jumped in to pose with her big sister instead), and Paramore singer Hayley Williams, who was the happiest girl on the carpet. “It’s an honor. I’m nervous. I’m worried I’m gonna trip because I don’t wear heels,” she said. Williams noted that she didn’t toss a few back to loosen up. “I don’t drink, but that’s okay. When we started touring, I wanted to be cool so I drank when we were overseas, but it doesn’t appeal to me.” Maynard James Keenan of Tool was pretty damn sure that his band wouldn’t be coming home with the Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance. “Nope. Foo Fighters will get it,” he said. “I hear they are performing with an orchestra. That’s gonna be amazing. I came for the fiftieth [anniversary of the Grammys],” he added. “This is my first time here.” The Plain White T’s worked the carpet with the Delilah, who’s an Olympic hopeful, and told us they’re recording their next album in April and shooting for a September 2008 release, while the extremely tall Mika revealed he’s somewhat inspired by prostitutes. “You know a lot of my lyrics are twisted,” he insisted. “I have a song called ‘Lollipop’ that four-year-olds sing, but the truth of the matter is it’s about a hooker. I would come across them at three o’clock in the morning coming out of the studio in Miami.” Akon announced he was hoping for “a hotel room full of ‘em” after the awards. Full of what, we naively asked. “Women!” he replied. The more wholesome Ne-Yo, who was up for five Grammys, wasn’t worried that having his
