It's not enough that he has his hands twidling knobs (wow, did I really just type that?) on all of our favorite UK hits, or the fact that he's got his own awesome album, Version coming out--no, no, nooow Mark Ronson has to dictate what music is worthy enough for his ears. But what great ears they are...
Ronson teamed up with Hard Rock Cafe to make the first in what will be a series of mixes curated by Ronson. He chose everything from the bouncy brit-pop of Kaisers Chiefs, the pint-size (bite-size?) PJ Harvey infused cover of "Wicked Game" by Giant Drag to... Buckcherry? We'll forgive him the one grievance. Maybe he's being ironic? Regardless, it's a great selection of songs that I have been mixed expertly by Ronson pal DJ Doug Grayson, and the best part is that you can download the entire thing right here:

To boot, a dollar of every album sold will go to benefit "Water For Life," a Jay-Z baked charity that works towards bringing clean drinking water throughout sub-Saharan Africa.
Handsome, talented and cares about the world. Sigh.
