• With Late Registration hitting stores next Tuesday (or well before that around New York City) Kanye West is reaching media saturation. MTV.com piles more Kanye on a fatigued public.

• Jamie Foxx, Vibe cover story.

• Soundway Recordings, a fabulous English label with a mission to "to release underground tropical dance music with a funky flavour," sent out an email yesterday with info on its upcoming 7" by The Blue Rhythm Combo. It included links to song samples. I know most people don't like downloads unless it's the full song, but this is better than nothing. So give a listen to "Get Down" and "BRC's Groove" and hopefully they'll show up on a future Soundways compilation.

• Speaking of emails, there were some good nuggets in Sigur Ros's email that was sent yesterday. The band's launched a download site that links to its song that are available at iTunes Europe and iTunes U.S. and Canada. There were also a few words about the band's involvement in the Icelandic film, "Screaming Masterpiece." Smekkleysa, the band's record label in Iceland, is selling the soundtrack. Sigur Ros has three songs on the soundtrack, including "the final chapter of their unreleased orchestral piece Odin's Raven Magic." Other artists on the soundtrack include Bjork, Mum, Slowblow, The Sugarcubes and Johann Johannsson.
