"Too sexy" for Viva la Vida, but just right to combat AIDS, Coldplay and Kylie Minogue's recent collaboration "Lhuna" is available as of today (aka World AIDS Day) via the (RED) movement's new (RED)WIRE music subscription service/e-zine. Proceeds from the track, laid down by the Aussie siren and the bombastic Brits during the latter's sessions for this year's Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends LP, go to providing medicine for Africans with HIV/AIDS-- so when your girlfriend catches you listening to it later tonight with the lights down, you can pull the old "good cause" card.

Speaking of Kylie's encounters with big names, there are plenty to be found on Boombox, her forthcoming remix LP, due January 5 in the UK from Parlophone. The Chemical Brothers, Fischerspooner, Mylo, Riton, and Whitey are among those who turn in remixes on the set, which also includes a Kylie/New Order "bootleg" mashup. Shucks, seems like every big name there is wants a piece of Ms. Minogue these days; NME.com reports that Paris Hilton's second album is, by the socialite's own admission, "very dance, like Kylie Minogue." Fingers crossed for the "Locomotion" cover, eh?

Kylie's out on the road a bit this month, with dates in Asia and her native Australia. As for her partners in palpitation Coldplay, they're currently enjoying their victory lap in the wake of the un-sexy but highly successful Viva la Vida.
