· Here in the office we are loving the new Big Boi song, "Royal Flush," featuring Raekwon and Andre 3000, which hit the net late last night. It's the first track to leak from Big Boi's solo album, Sir Luscious Left Foot, and while we are big, big fans of Big Boi (super-slept-on as a lyricist), once again his Outkast brother-in-arms, Andre 3000, kinda outshines him. We can't legally post the link here but if you're a savvy internet user, you'll find it.
· When the new album by funny, bespectacled Elvis Costello is released on April 22, it will be on vinyl only. Titled Momofuku, in reference to the popular NYC restaurant of the same name, all vinyl copies will include a voucher for a digital download version of the album. Poor CD feels all left out.
· A few days ago, there was lots of chatter about The Raconteurs' new album, Consolers of the Lonely being released on March 25, just a couple of weeks after Jack White turned in the final masters. Today, iTunes, mistakenly put the album up for download, and reports are that a handful of lucky folks downloaded the tunes. They have since shut down the accidental sale, but no doubt someone's already ripped it to a CD and put it out in the ether. Hi, Jack!
