Description

Music has always been a form of self-expression. Most artists enjoy creating music and sharing it with the world anyways they can – through shows, CDs, blogs, MP3s, Myspace, Twitter and any other new media the Internet spits out. As an extension to all the ways we can enjoy their music, Matt & Kim, can also be found on various video games published by EA. If you have heard of this Brooklyn-based dance/punk/electric/make you feel good music band – you know why they are a great fit to the EA TRAX catalog.

Matt & Kim broke into the ever so experimental New York music scene in 2006 with their first self-titled EP. Since then, they have been making everyone dance with non-stop tours all around the United States and Canada. The release of their full-length album, Grand, has brought Matt & Kim some mainstream exposure via commercials and now – video games.

It all started when Hi Fi made their intentions known. Lambert then responded, via the press, that these are not actually his songs but mere studio recordings which no longer reflect where he is musically - he contents they were meant to be demos for other singers.

The record company responded with a memo that suggests Lambert had a hand in writing most of the songs. Lambert promptly changed his tune (pun intended) at this point, saying the demos were indeed his…but, he doesn’t want them to be released.

Later this week, refunds for Michael Jackson’s planned concerts will be offered in full.

Those wanting to remember the King of Pop could opt for a piece of memorabilia instead. Up until August 14, fans can choose to receive a commemorative concert ticket in lieu of a refund. The souvenirs, printed with the lenticular process, were designed by the artist himself.

Both options will become available starting on July 1. More information will be offered at MichaelJacksonLive.com.
