DEMF/Movement

Fatboy Slim and Carl Craig will headline this year's Detroit Electronic Music Festival/Movement. You can check out the rest of the lineup here, plus purchase early bird tickets here while they last. The festival will be held May 28th-30th at Hart Plaza in Detroit.

Radiohead

Back in February, Radiohead's new album, the King of Limbs was released digitally. Fans who preferred a physical version of the album were able to pre-order the "newspaper" version, which was (and still is) set to ship in May. For those that would like a cd or vinyl version of the King of Limbs (a physical version, but not the "newspaper" version) you'll be able to buy it in stores starting March 29th. In addition, select records stores globally will be giving away a Radiohead "newspaper" titled the Universal Sigh. The select locations are listed here, and no, there isn't a Detroit location. By the way, the Universal Sigh is not the same newspaper that will accompany the "newspaper" version of the King of Limbs. Sounds confusing? Click here for more info.

George Michael covers New Order

George Michael has covered "True Faith" by New Order. Apparently it's a charity single, so maybe we shouldn't harsh too much on ol' George.
