In a move that harkens back to composers of old, Beck’s next album, ‘Song Reader’ will be released in December as sheet music of 20 unreleased and unrecorded songs.

The sheet music will come with full colour art works for each song as well as a hardcover carrying case. Two of the 20 songs are instrumentals. The ‘album’ features the tracks ‘Do We? We Do’ and ‘Don’t Act Like Your Heart Isn’t Hard’. The idea behind the release is for fans to play the songs and ‘bring them to life’ themselves.

Insanely popular dubstep lightning-rod Skrillex has some interesting news regarding a possible new Kanye West album: “I did some music with Kanye, and from what I know, it’s actually going to be the first song on his new album.”

If this is true, it’s probably the first time in recorded human history that Kanye has found himself playing catch-up to Korn. Of course, lots of people have claimed to be working with Kanye in the past, and not all of those proclamations come to pass. And this quote, from a recent Daily Beast Skrillex profile, is, after all, the first we’ve heard of an impending Kanye solo album. But Kanye has nerded out on Twitter over Skrillex remixes in the past, and Watch The Throne had a couple of big honking dubstep drops on it.
