Gee, it is possible, especially for someone who does a weekly analysis of the singles chart, to discover this same information without reading your oh so deep insight? Yeah, I think so.

Could it be that two people somewhere in the world came to the same conclusion at the same time and both posted about it on the interpages? Naaah, that'd never happen.

The problem is, the gimmick is going to seem less fresh now, and few bands have a fanbase that's both as rabid and as geeky-creative as RH's.

But...maybe a hip-hop act next? Kanye? Gnarls Barkley? (They're not hip-hop, strictly speaking, but Danger Mouse's mixes would be fun to pull apart.)

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that this promo was what got me listening to the new Radiohead album, which previously had just been sitting on my iPod for several weeks.

If you say, on the one hand, that artists & labels are having to be ever more inventive to come up with ideas for new revenue streams, and on the other that music-making technology is cheaper, easier to use and more widely available than ever before (and the results can easily be shared with friends on MySpace)... doesn't this all add up to a new kind of fan interactivity which artists and labels might actively encourage?

By the way, I'm doing a survey on digital music for a class at MIT. I'm giving $5 free credit on Amie Street to anyone who fills it. Check it out at: [www.surveymonkey.com]

Apropos of nothing, here's a clip Tim himself posted to YouTube of him creating the awesome drum beat on "Stronger":

I guess I'm talking about the thought that crosses my mind seemingly every time I hear a Timbaland song -- at least from the last couple of years -- "wow, Tim seems to plagiarize himself, or recycle, a lot, eh...eh...eh?"

Here's another example -- at the risk of embarrassing myself again: JT's "What Goes Around Comes Around" v. Rihanna's "Rehab" -- which even "featured" JT!

Didn't mean to beat up on you too hard about it!

I didn't mean, "sound alike in the way every Stargate 'strummy' song sounds alike", and I should've been clearer. I was thinking more along the lines of, "Gee, when I hear this song on the car radio, the first thing I hear are those elements that do sound the same." Example: that "eh...eh...eh" interlude in the New Republic / Nelly songs. There was something I heard in "4 Minutes" this morning that made me say "THAT'S why I thought this sounded familiar -- it makes me immediately recall Nelly". But it's been a long day, and I've already forgotten what it was, so I'm gonna wimp out and not embarrass myself further...on this post.

Also, I liked "Apologize" a lot better when Nelly Furtado was singing it and it was called "Say It Right".
