From the great Rich Four Four comes this profoundly disturbing article of baby clothing, apparently for sale on the Atlantic City boardwalk. "I can't even, really," he notes. "This is maybe the greatest thing I've ever seen." Totally willing to cosign half of that. Unpacking the imagery here seems like more trouble than it's worth, from a spiritual perspective. Happy Monday.

Instead of bothering with Michael Damian's "Dream On," let's instead refer you to this sadly endearing long video of Corey Haim, still in his teens, clearly high and playing around with an artillery of synthesizers. "As far as what I really like in today's music, I'm into that Japanese funk, that pop funk, you know, I think Prince is the future," he tells the camera at the 3:01 mark. There's also a whole montage of him apparently drugged up and poking around keyboards, if you're into that sort of thing. But if you're more into paying tribute to recently dead people by mocking their tragic flaws, perhaps you're interested in this flyer for a Saturday offering at Dead Herring in Williamsburg:

-- Erstwhile Queens rapper Q-Tip's unreleased album Kamaal/The Abstract, recorded in 2001, will finally see official release in September. The record has the former A Tribe Called Quest frontman exploring jazz and funk influences, and received generally favorable reviews before it was scrapped by Arista for being not-so-commercial. 'Tip said in a 2004 interview, "I am really disappointed that Kamaal wasn't released. LA Reid didn't know what to do with it; then, three years later, they release Outkast. What Outkast is doing now, those are the kinds of sounds that are on Kamaal the Abstract. Maybe even a little more out." The record will be released by Battery Records.

--Michael Jackson's remains (which feels creepy writing and even creepier thinking about), will be taken to the Neverland Ranch on Thursday morning for a public viewing Friday. A 30-car motorcade will reportedly transport Jackson's body from Los Angeles to his former Santa Barbara home/amusement park, CNN reports. [Update: The Jackson family now say this will not happen: "Plans are under way regarding a public memorial for Michael Jackson, and we will announce those plans shortly."] Still no word on where Jackson will be buried, but his hometown of Gary, Indiana wouldn't mind. Mayor Rudy Clay is campaigning for a Jackson museum, with his grave as the main attraction. "If they can do it for Elvis Presley in Graceland, we can do it for Michael Jackson in Gary," Clay shamelessly told the AP. In more uplifting news, Jackson broke some records on the pop charts this week.

--Tortoise will play an extra-intimate in-store gig at Other Music in New York July 18th, three days before their CD release show at Le Poisson Rouge July 21.

We're gonna go ahead and put this in the "too soon" category, along with that 20 Michael Jackson Jokes post on Street Carnage and the weekend's endless crop of mostly terrible MJ tributes. But you may feel differently. [Lindsay Lohan via Vulture]
