Michael “I Invented The Remix, Bitch” Stipe (not R.E.M!) has recorded and mixed six (yes, six) versions of Joesph Arthurs’ “In the Sun”, including one remix by Justin Timberflake and the Black Eyed Peas’ Will.I.Am. (oh, the horror-filled and coated and then dipped in horror horror) for an iTunes exclusive EP (for Gulf Coast relief) which will be released on February 5th at 11pm, aaaaaand one of the six versions, the duet with Coldplay’s Chris Martin, will premiere on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy at 10pm EST, February 5th.

It gives Joseph Arthur more publicity, so it's fine with me!

Also, does anyone else have his And the Thieves are Gone EP? It's a nice extention of his latest album.

I don't agree.

I don't want anyone messing with his tunes. I can't believe he agreed to this. ugh

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$?????????

i have it (signed). i like it.

I heard the live version of Coldplay and Stipe's In The Sun on Sirius the other day. It was pretty weak. Why would anyone want Stipe to sing on their song?
