Hideout Block Party, Day Two: The New Pornographers, Michael Jackson Tribute and more
[Above: The New Pornographers.] Ahhh, the CTA. Gotta love those delays and train station closings, right? The two-hour travel time to Hideout prevented the chance to see The Uglysuit and those that played before them, but nothing cools off an angry commuter like some free watermelon and a playful game of Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes with Tim Fite on a lovely Sunday. His lively hip-hop performance was one of the weekend's many kid-friendly offerings, which also included crafts, a Wee Hairy Beasties performance and a puppet show whose theater was rigged to a bike.... read more

We recently reported on the 25th anniversary edition of Thriller, which includes classic Michael Jackson songs remixed by will.i.am, Kanye West, Fergie and Akon. A big deal, for sure, one that played a part in our March issue cover. However, if the thought of Fergie and Akon dueting with the King of Pop makes you groan, check out the newest MJ dedication mixtape, Man in the Mirror, by rapper and co-writer of the Kanye West song "Jesus Walks," Rhymefest. The album features Talib Kweli, Ghostface Killah and Mary J. Blige, and was produced by Mark Ronson. The Chicago Tribune recently... read more
Found in: Music, NewsMichael Jackson may perform 10-night London residency
Like so many musicians in the spotlight (Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad*), Michael Jackson’s musical gifts have recently been eclipsed by his offstage antics.

The King of Pop is reportedly in talks to play a 10-night residency at London’s O2 Arena sometime in 2008. The shows would celebrate the 25th anniversary of Thriller, an album that was mildly popular when it was released. Paste, your official reunion tour and comeback strategy... read more
