Just "Beat It." That very news alone kept us quiet for one day. The LA's D.A., Tom Sneddon, will have to try again in 2012. Maybe he will find a better witness. Meanwhile, MJ vows to never sleep with young children again. Let's see how long that last. Be sure to look for book deals from Michael Jackson's lawyers, Au Pairs, cooks, garbage persons and make-up artist.
$130 million to $126,000. That's how much indie label TVT Records is set to receive after New York's Second Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a jury's decision against Island Def Jam. TVT Records had previously alleged that Def Jam and Lyor Cohen blocked the release of an album that featured Ja Rule and produced by Irv Gotti . [Billboard Radio Monitor]
HMV Canada has pulled all of Alanis Morissette's albums from its stores. Alanis was last seen sipping a cup of Mint Mocha Chip Frappuccino.

The only Pixie album we own, Surfer Rosa, is certifiable gold. The 1998 album has achieved sales in excess of 500,000 copies. [Boston.com]
Sony BMG and EMI will use new technologies to copy-protect all music CDs sold in the United States. Sony BMG has already started implementing this technology in new releases including Dave Matthews Band's Stand UP and Velvet Revolver's Contraband. EMI (Coldplay, Norah Jones) will introduce copy-protected CDs in the US & United Kingdom in a few weeks. These new copy-protected discs will limit the number of times people can create copies of music CDs or add individual songs to music mixes. [Mercury News] See how Sony BMG and Emi copy protection works.
Watch Coldplay perform songs from their new album on their MySpace page. The intimate acoustic set filmed live in Japan. Not sure how long it will be up.
