Digital Digest: Grinderman, Fleet Foxes, Charlie Sheen and more

Blogs are currently flushed with extraordinary collaboration. Firstly, Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme has taken on Nick Cave’sGrinderman project, and remixed Mickey Mouse and the Goodbye Man. Spin describe the result as “it's psychedelic and downright frightening” and you can check it yourself here. 



In a similar vein, Beck has jumped on Jamie Lidell’sCompletely Exposed. The track can be downloaded in exchange for an e-mail address, though Some Kind of Awesome seem more concerned about Beck remixing and not getting on with some more original material. 



Rather than working together, two men from opposite ends of the cultural spectrum will go head to head this evening, debating at the Cambridge Union Society ‘this house believes classical music is irrelevant to today’s youth’. Speaking for the motion is Radio 1 DJ and producer Kissy Sell Out, while opposing him is the linguistically opulent Steven Fry. All the information is here and you can stream it live from 7pm. 



But the one which has had the most online buzz, is the partnership of Snoop Dogg and Charlie Sheen with Winning. Please bear in mind if you watch the video on YouTube there is strong language.



Loads of new music has also emerged in the last couple of days. Fleet Foxes have made Ocean Grown available as a free download on Soundcloud, and CFCF’s remix of Holy Ghost is also up on the same site.



Moby’s new album, Destroyed, can be streamed in full from his website, while Ronnie Vannucci from The Killers has a new side project called Big Talk – the first fruits of which are here.
