Micheal Jackon: tributes by Kypski, The Lost Fingers

Michael Jackon

Since Michael Jackson took off for a trip to the real Neverland, tons of artists have been jumping the bandwagon with tributes and what not. Most of them suck. These two don't.

Kypski, one half of Dutch band C-Mon & Kypski created a mashup of Justices Phantom Pt2 (Soulwax Remix) with Michael Jacksons Thriller. Sweet and scary. The new C-Mon & Kypski album drops in October.

Canadian jazz swing band The Lost Fingers actually recorded their cover of Billy Jean before MJ died. It's on their forthcoming cover album Lost In The 80's.
