I'm hoping that album 13 doesn't have a long song. He needs to take a break from those, IMO.

I'd take 13 tracks over a long song if that's an option.

When is "Ringtone" supposed to come out btw?

I agree that it doesn't immediately jump out to me as Beatles (although if you're listening for it, I suppose it's there)...but if he were to do a series of snippets, I can't think of a better band with a bigger variation of styles to go with.

Nickleback?

No, you're right - they definitely have a pretty diverse selection of music.

I hope this is done in a MIDI style!

I checked out @supernews and it seems to be a Japanese news site. @currentTV hasn't updated since last year. Hmm...
