Fresh Links: the music breakfast of champions

Wednesday's child is full of music links:

· Britney's new track Piece of Me. One blogger called it "J Lo meets Hostel" and we just can't better that we're afraid.

· The Streets murder Elton John's Your Song. Except we quite like it really.

· What happens when David Shrigley gets inspiration from the likes of Grizzly Bear and Tussle?

· New Yorker music critic Alex Ross publishes his 20th Century playlist.

· Forget Bubbles, forget Neverland, forget all the sleazy ballyhoo and remember the music, people, because there is news of previously unreleased material to be included on the forthcoming 25th anniversary edition of Thriller. We'll run that by you again. UNRELEASED MATERIAL! FROM THRILLER! Sorry, we feel much better now.

· It's the great lost pop genre but it's never had a name. Until now! All you rockcrits out there struggling to find a word to describe, say, Hazel O'Connor (apart from the obvious), early XTC, Splitz Enz, Buggles, Devo and Duffo need struggle no more because this site's done it for you. It's Quirk. Phew, basically.
