Music: We have a new Michael Jackson song. It goes like this.

  • Is This It? Yes, this is it. “This is it” is the single Michael Jackson was supposed to ride off into the sunset of a second wind of a career. That didn’t happen. Instead. It’s a painfully ironic statement of a guy who died before he had a chance to live the song’s statement of optimism. How about the song itself? It’s pretty good. It’s got an old-school MJ feel. It’s not even pretending to be a song released in 2009 (which suggests to us it wasn’t recorded recently). What do you think? Post your thoughts, kids. source

Music: Radiohead: Screw it, we’re gonna upload our songs to torrent sites

  • The new song had a twisted journey online. “These Are My Twisted Words” leaked a few days ago on a torrent site with zero information to go with it, but with a sound that was VERY close to Radiohead. However, the band only confirmed they uploaded the track this morning. While they’re not the first band to use BitTorrent as a distribution mechanism (Harvey Danger comes to mind), they’re definitely the biggest. Kudos to Radiohead for being game for reaching audiences in new, interesting ways. source
