Worlds Collide

Finally, a really good idea for a compilation: the hippest hipsters covering their favorite mainstream megahits. "Guilt By Association." promises to bridge the gap between TRL and Pitchfork, and the track list pretty much speaks for itself:

1. Petra Haden: "Don't Stop Believin'" (Journey)
2. Devendra Banhart: "Don't Look Back In Anger" (Oasis)
3. Mark Mulcahy: "From This Moment On" (Shania Twain)
4. Luna: "Straight Up" (Paula Abdul)
5. The Concretes: "Back For Good" (Take That)
6. Jim O'Rourke: "Viva Forever" (Spice Girls)
7. Goat: "Sugar We're Going Down" (Fall Out Boy)
8. Will Oldham/Bonnie 'Prince' Billy" "Can't Take That Away" (Mariah Carey)
9. Woody Jackson Orchestra featuring Money Mark: Love's Theme (Love Unlimited Orchestra)
10. Porter Block: "Breaking Free" (High School Musical)
11. Mooney Suzuki: "Just Like Jesse James" (Cher)
12. Geoff Farina: "Two Tickets To Paradise" (Eddie Money)
13. Casey Shea: "Chop Suey" (System of a Down)
14. Superchunk: "Say My Name" (Destiny's Child)
15. Mike Watt: "Burning For You" (Blue Oyster Cult)

The album won't be out until August 28, but Engine Room Recordings is sponsoring a contest to create a video for one of three tracks: Haden's cover of "Don't Stop Believin'," Banhart's rendition of Oasis' "Don't Look Back in Anger," or Oldham's version of "Can't Take That Away."
