Say it ain’t so, Mike! In his latest bittersweet blog, Mike Skinner announced some good news and bad news for fans of The Streets. The good news is that The Streets’ fourth album has a title (Everything Is Borrowed) and is said to be packed with “peaceful positive vibes.” Far out, huh? The bad news is that Everything Is Borrowed will also be the penultimate album for The Streets. Skinner says that the fifth and final disc from The Streets will be a “Berlin-influenced electronic album” that “will be dark and futuristic.”

An interesting dispute over digital ownership is a-brewin’ between two major acts with differing views on music and the Internet - Radiohead and Prince. After videos of Prince covering Radiohead’s “Creep” at this year’s Coachella made it on to YouTube, the Purple One and his label have attempted to have all of the clips taken down claiming a copyright violation (despite, the fact that the song isn’t Prince’s and the posted videos were shot by fans). Thom Yorke recently revealed that after his band had trouble watching the clip, he’s asked for Prince and YouTube to unblock the videos claiming copyright ownership.
