So apparently the king of pop’s two unreleased tracks from his ultra secret album that’s in the works have officially been leaked onto that filthy blogosphere and with that track have come severe consequences, such as the loss of whatever small iota of respect I once had for MJ, his music, his career, his existence. In a time where 80’s synth and retro pop is stronger than it was in the 80’s, a preemptive return from the king was only imminent, but not like this.

The track touches on relevant topics such as the currently popular, what I like to call, the Britney angst phenomena. MJ delivers weightless lyrics dealing with the paparazzi and the media, and how he simply wishes to be left alone. Well MJ, your remaining fans wish you left us alone with our fond memories of your previous albums.

You tainted your legacy
but we accepted you still
because you came out with that awesome album featuring Chris Tucker in one of your videos
but now…
You’re inner emo child has finally surfaced

Michael Jackson – Xcape

The Movie Directed by Michel Gondry, Leos Carax & Bong Joon-ho

TOKYO!, three of the world’s greatest filmmakers come together for an omnibus triptych examining the nature of one unforgettable city as it’s shaped by the disparate people who live, work (and even run amok!) inside one enormous, constantly evolving, densely populated Japanese megalopolis – the ravishing and inimitable Tokyo.

TOKYO! is a fantasy in three movements that will make you see one of the world’s greatest cities – if not any city – in unpredictable new ways.
