Video: Kanye West: "Heartless" (Live on the "Late Night With Conan O'Brien")
Kanye's relentless promo assault continues with a rendition of "Heartless" last night on Conan. His voice sounds a little rough, no doubt because of all the 808s-related appearances, and it's a little weird to hear a scratchy voice that sounds on the verge of going out run through the Auto-Tune.

Kanye West Arrested Again, Reveals 808s Tracklist
(swiped from Pitchfork Media)Let's get this out of the way first: According to TMZ (via MTV), Kanye West was apparently arrested-- and subsequently released and cleared-- for a fight with a photographer in Newcastle, England last night. Yes, Kanye sparred with the paparazzi again. Sigh. Let's move on...
With only a week and change to go before its November 24 release, West's new album 808s & Heartbreak finally has a tracklist, via the store on his website. And given how much of its music has leaked already, the tracklist isn't much of a surprise. As we know, 808s' only guests are Young Jeezy (on "Amazing") and Lil Wayne (on "Tell Everybody That You Know"), and there's a hell of a lot of Auto-Tune.
In other Kanye news, he seems to have gotten his priorities straight at last.

Video: Kanye West "Heartless"
Of all the Kanye leaks this is still my favorite. The autotune actually sounds like it belongs on this song. Here is the animated video for Kanye's "Heartless" off 808s and Heartbreak, in stores 11/25.

Kanye Premieres 808s & Heartbreak at Weird L.A. Party
(swiped from Pitchfork Media)Photo by Joseph Mohan
Someone from The FADER made their way to a listening party for Kanye West's forthcoming 808s and Heartbreak at Los Angeles' Ace Gallery last night. To the surprise of no one, the whole affair was very lavish, and totally weird. Things went down in a stark room packed with 40 naked ladies-- wearing masks ostensibly made of fake lamb's wool, obviously-- who were backlit by glowing lights as the music went on. The evening's visual portion was designed by Italian artist of note Vanessa Beecroft, and Mos Def, will.i.am, and Rick Ross were all reportedly in attendance [via Idolator].
As for the album, 808s and Heartbreak apparently has Mr. West singing in his beloved Auto-Tune on virtually every track, and features a relatively pared-down selection of guests, with cameos from Young Jeezy (not singing, we imagine) and Lil Wayne (who knows anymore). As the title might suggest, it's a breakup album, with the exception of closer "Coldest Winter", which is about Kanye's late mother Donda West. The Fader report likens the sound of the disc to that of "ADULT. or Thom Yorke solo, with the dispassionate electro beats playing against the plainspoken ache of the vocals." Well all right then.
West then showed up as things were winding down to note that 808s and Heartbreak concerns "emotional nakedness," that the album is "about the freedom to do what you want to do," that Auto-Tune is "the most fun thing ever," and that he'll be issuing another new LP in June. Perhaps he will rap on that one.
808s and Heartbreak, whether you're ready or not, hits stores November 25 from Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam. Kanye, meanwhile, hits the road on Friday for the first of many fall tour stops.
And finally, one more intriguing Kanye tidbit: Lykke Li is set to join Kanye on his contribution to N.A.S.A.'s batshit forthcoming LP, according to a report on Swedish blog PSL confirmed by N.A.S.A.'s publicist. The track is reportedly still in the works.
