Music Notes: Radiohead release free track, Aerosmith cancel tour

So as I posted late last week, I'm planning on making Music Notes a three-times-a-week thing on this blog now that I have a nutty schedule. I'm hoping I'll be able to stick with it, and I'll keep you all posted.

- Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood confirmed that the band will debut new material at the Reading and Leeds Festivals later this month. He also linked to a free download of a new track, "These Are My Twisted Words." [NME]

- Aerosmith have canceled the remainder of their summer tour. [Brooklyn Vegan]

- Michael Jackson will be buried on Aug. 29, the date that would have marked his 51st birthday. [NME]

- Iggy Pop contributed vocals to a new version of "Oh My God," a track on Ida Maria's Fortress Round My Heart. This new version of the song hits radio this week, and will be available on iTunes starting Aug. 31. Listen to the collaboration here. [SPIN]

- Check out the premiere of Smokey Robinson's "Don't Know Why" here. [Billboard]

- Christina Aguilera is continuing to work with some very interesting collaborators for her next album: M.I.A., Santigold and Ladytron are on the list. [SPIN]

Music Notes: Preview six Green Day tracks, shaking up The Shins, tours tours tours

- Green Day are streaming six songs from the upcoming 21st Century Breakdown here. The songs were originally previewed during a segment from L.A. radio station KROQ's Kevin and Bean Show. [GreenDay.com]

- Whoa! Some major changes for The Shins: keyboardist Marty Crandall and drummer Jesse Sandoval are no longer in the band and there's a new Shins album in the works. (For those who are curious, no it does not seem like Crandall's exit has anything to do with the domestic abuse issues that popped up around the time he was dating former America's Next Top Model contestant Elyse Sewell). [Pitchfork]

- A jazz-influenced track by Iggy Pop, "King of the Dogs," was released digitally yesterday, and can also be heard here. The track will appear on June 2's Préliminaires. [Stereogum]

- Listen to a new Beastie Boys track, "Lee Majors Come Again," here. [SPIN]

- Asobi Seksu have extended their US tour by adding dates in Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Ohio and New York. [NME]

- And Peaches has extended her North American tour. [NME]

- Kylie Minogue is also apparently going to embark on her first (mini) North American tour. [Prefix Mag]
