Morning Music Notes – Keep July 5 Free

Aussie electro dance rockers (clearly they play several genres) Cut Copy are about to go on another big tour. Ahead of that, they released a special little treat for Record Store Day.

Only 2000 printed copies of their single In These Arms of Love were made. The B-side is a slower, thoughful and melodic rock track Like Any Other Day. Give it a spin below.

Jay Z was involved in a bizarro extortion scheme involving some of his master recordings. Producer Chauncey Mahan had found recordings from 1998 to 2002 and planned to auction them off, the cheeky bugger.
