The paradox that is Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur (out June 12 on Warner Brothers) now has a website. And the album's tracklist is now known. Why is it a paradox? As I confusedly argued yesterday, it's hard to tell if one is supposed to love the gesture of anyone doing anything to help the ongoing situation in Darfur or hate the fact that esteemed artists such as Big & Rich and Lenny Kravitz are remaking John Lennon tunes. Oh well, enough of that. If you head to the site, you can download R.E.M.'s take on "#9 Dream," Green Day's version of "Working Class Hero," and Los Lonely Boys doing "Whatever Gets You Through the Night." And if you read on after the jump, you can spy the full tracklist for the double disc set. Definitely scope out what two different artists are covering "Imagine." Hope you haven't eaten recently! Disc 1: 1) U2 - "Instant Karma" 2) R.E.M. - "#9 Dream" 3) Christina Aguilera - "Mother" 4) Aerosmith - "Give Peace a Chance" 5) Lenny Kravitz - "Cold Turkey" 6) Los Lonely Boys - "Whatever Gets You Through the Night" 7) Corinne Bailey Rae - "I'm Losing You" 8) Jakob Dylan [ft. Dhani Harrison] - "Gimme Some Truth" 9) Jackson Browne - "Oh My Love" 10) Big & Rich - "Nobody Told Me" Disc 2: 1) Green Day - "Working Class Hero" 2) Black Eyed Peas - "Power to the People" 3) Jack Johnson - "Imagine" 4) Snow Patrol - "Isolation" 5) Matisyahu - "Watching the Wheels" 6) Ben Harper - "Beautiful Boy" 7) Postal Service - "Grow Old With Me" 8) Jaguares - "Gimme Some Truth" 9) Avril Lavigne - "Imagine" 10) The Flaming Lips - "(Just Like) Starting Over" 11) Regina Spektor - "Real Love"
