In
The New Yorker this week,
Sasha Frere-Jones profiles
Prince, calling him "perhaps the greatest living performer in the pop tradition."
Meanwhile,
Salon looks at
whether iTunes' new "premium downloads" are worth the extra 30 cents a pop, while readers weigh in on
the uncertain fate of the compact disc.
Some kind, anonymous soul has posted the
Arcade Fire's terrific "White Session," recorded on March 9, 2005 at Maison de le Radio in Paris, for download
here.
Finally, the first promo pic for
The White Stripes' forthcoming
Icky Thump was released this week (click the thumbnail at left for the full-size image). Looks like somebody got a
BeDazzler for Christmas.
