The Many Mothers of Michael Jacksons’ Children, Shins Go Psychedelic and More

Michael Jackson

  • Michael Jackson may be facing further legal troubles as Nona Paris Lola Jackson, who claims she’s the mother of Jackson’s three children, is petitioning the court for a shared custodial arrangement and, of course, child support payments. Nona has even been so kind as to put together a little schedule detailing the various day-to-day changes she sees taking place. By way of explaining why Deborah Rowe, Jackson’s ex, is listed as the kids’ birth mother, Nona apparently had this to say: “Debbie’s hospital records will prove that my kids are not hers because of DNA. I gave birth through the means of water birth because I am technically an herbalist.”
  • The Shins covered Pink Floyd’s “Breathe” during the first of the band’s UK dates, Tuesday night. Now you can watch it here. [via Stereogum]
  • TV show music supervisors are becoming increasingly powerful figures in the music business, as TV show soundtracks continue to see chart success and bands continue to see their careers defined by TV show exposure. This cool report takes you inside the job on This American Life via a conversation with music supervisor Jane Feltes. Kinda cool. [via Pop Candy]
  • More tour talk: Dinosaur Jr. have announced a series of tour dates, as has Regina Spektor. Check out the dates after the jump.

The Shins’ cover is excellent

technically a herbalist? i post on rs.com frequently so i’m technically a contributing editor (and if that’s the case, sorry for putting fallout boy on the cover, everyone).
poor mj. he’s a flaming car wreck that just won’t go out.

I couldn’t agree more..Poor MJ. Just looking at that picture makes me sick to my stomach. Remember when he was like the most badass dude on the planet? That’s how I prefer to remember him as. The Poll Girl and I will be married one day

Michael just needs some tools to get though life. John Travolta, Kelly Preston, Tom Cruise, Eddie Money, Chick Cora, Al Gore, Eddie Van Halen, Davild Lee Roth, Jenna Elfman. There all pulling for you to “get off of drugs.” One can only hope that whose children they really are, that Anna Nicole would be happy that you are there father Michael! It’s sad that your getting your chiilln taken back from away you. Those drugs like Ritalin are BAD! Pun intended. You need a real lawyer… GET JAMES WOODS! Then they will face the wrath of SHARK!
peace out – RTH

I agree – he needs tools – not these fools.

Has anybody used computers to project what Michael Jackson will look like when he’s 75? You could subject terrorism suspects to it and get rid of all the other torture techniques.

The cross-promotion of music and teenybopper television didn’t happen by accident. You can mass-market generic, broad-appeal pop music better by getting the kiddies to associate it with their tv shows. I’m surprised it’s taken this long for the practice to catch on. The Monkees were doing it in the 60’s.

Interchangeable music for interchangeable tv shows featuring the same impossibly-beautiful interchangeable fly-by-night teen idols. There’s no way a band can forge a unique creative direction being a hired soundtrack band for TV shows. You might as well just write commercial jingles. I have no idea why RS would think this is “cool”. Oh, right, advertising dollars.

Michael Jackson came to visit me in the children’s hospital when I was very small. His fingers are soft!
