With iTunes and other digital vendors selling music cheaper than traditional retail outlets, the sales of physical CD have plummeted in recent years. Looking to curb that trend, Universal Music has announced plans to sell new releases to for $10 or less in an effort to help revive the seemingly dying format. The new initiative has no official start date yet, but consumers can expect prices to be between $6 – $10. Too little, too late?

Finally, for those of you that have been waiting for the worlds of indie-rock and horse racing to finally collide, I’ve got some news for you as this year’s Kentucky Derby will feature a horse named Radiohead. The current 20-1 shot, English-bred horse is gaining a considerable amount of attention as a favorite after winning a race of three-year-olds in Florida’s Gulfstream Park last month and is being compared to 2008 Derby winner Big Brown, so don’t be surprised by the line off skinny jean wearing hipsters slugging back Mint Juleps with Tecate Tall Boy chasers at your local OTB come race day.
