Jan. 5, 2005  |  Welcome to Wednesday Morning Download v.2005. There's plenty of music to look forward to this year: a hotly anticipated rock album from Beck; a new record from 2004's MVP, Kanye West, with a guest appearance from the much maligned but often brilliant John Mayer; welcome returns from Stevie Wonder and Scott Walker; near surefire genius from Outkast; near surefire comic relief from Paris Hilton; and the solo debut by hit-making production team the Matrix, which promises to be a work of evil genius.

And then there's all the free music, which is what I'll be tracking down for you. I've got a bunch of exciting tracks lined up already, but as always, I'd like suggestions. So if you know of a free and legal download that you think would be right for this column, post it on the Wednesday Morning Download Table Talk thread, or e-mail me.

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
