Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am is none too keen on record company plans to release an album of Michael Jackson's unfinished music.

"I don't think that should ever come out," he told the Associated Press this week, adding "That's bad. Freaking parasites!"

The controversial new disc, slated for a November release, is said to be the first in a 10-album, seven-year deal the Jackson estate negotiated with Sony BMG in March this year.

Is it just me or is the news featured on DIg getting a tad mainstream? If I wanted to know about Black Eyed Peas or Sheryl Crow or Britney Spears I have every tabloid available to me. And with Rolling Stone aiming straight for the money makers I am sure I can get my fill of news about the Lady Ga Ga crowd there too.
I am listening to DIG because you are NOT TOP FORTY, you are eclectic, popular, intergenerational, original and retro. I want news about the musicians I am listening to on here, not news about the ones I don't. ( please tell me the news is not the direction you are wanting to head with the music you play)
Love DIG !!!!

Thanks Rose...in our humble defence, I think the Music News has always cast a wider net when it comes to gathering stories. If we limited our coverage solely to the doings of the folks whose music we played, there'd be a fair few fallow periods with nothing much to read about...
