In what I think must be the first time a track from the Kill Rock Stars catalog has appeared on a Pop Idol satellite—unless some brave soul out in Finland tried to tackle Karp's "Gauze" (hey, they love the metal out there)—Australian Idol contestant Holly Weinert gave her all to "Standing In The Way Of Control" by The Gossip last week, to decidedly mixed results.

Did we miss a meeting?

popbytes' Mashup of the Week cuts and pastes together NME darlings past and present, mixing Beth Ditto's vocals from "Standing In The Way Of Control" into Elastica's Wire homage "Connection." As with many mashups, the whole thing threatens to go off the rails around the time the first chorus kicks in, but it's still worth a listen, thanks to Ditto's chrome-melting voice sounding like an absolute blowtorch when paired with the crunchy guitars of "Connection":
