In people buying songs they already have news, the soundtrack to This is It hit number one on the Billboard charts this week, selling 373,000 copies.  Nothing against people wanting to own the soundtrack, I guess, the songs are still good.  But to everyone who rushed out to see the movie or who really wants to see the movie or thinks the movie is great, go ahead and line up behind white guys with dreadlocks, people who listen to techno in car, people who own TapouT gear (Tommy TapouTs), and the viewership of Two and a Half Men.  May we never have to hang out.

Here’s Cheap Trick playing the Transformers theme from Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.  The new song sounds a lot like “Surrender” – possibly the best song ever written on the subject of someone’s mother getting venereal disease.  The soundtrack also features Linkin Park, Nickelback, Hoobastank, and Staind, which are like venereal diseases for your ears.

(It’s pretty obvious why Michael Bay wanted Cheap Trick on the soundtrack. Bay calls Rick Nielsen’s five-necked guitar “the Michael Bay of guitars.”)
