BrightestYoungThings: MP3 Picks of The Week

While we await for the BYT writing and photo staff to rise, shine and deal with their perma-hangover so they can tell you all about their weekend we are turning to our "variety show" type posts. So for now: 7 really, really good songs you may have missed on the music blogs last week.
Because I read them every day, and you (think) you don't have time: a digest.

3. Annie, "Loco"
While her Spanish is limited, Annie is churning out yet another dancefloor perfect number from her new album.
MP3 via Idolator

4. Pearl Jam feat. Ace Frehley, "Black Diamond" (Kiss cover
You can't keep Eddie down.
MP3 via Stereogum

5. The Faint, "The Geeks Were Right"
I love the Faint. I feel that "Worked up so Sexual" and "I dissappear" should be played at every dance party ever. And well...after a break, a label dispute and a while....The Faint is back. Welcome. Too bad the "O.C." is no longer on as this would have made it onto the OST in no time.
MP3 via Have Fun Club

6. Beck feat. Chan Marshall, "Orphans"
As good as you'd expect it to be. (read: really good)

MP3 via Pitchfork

7. A video. Jay-Z covers Oasis. And throws 99 problems in
