Aliens Have Landed, Hoping To License All Of Humanity's Music; All Songs Considered, 7/9/12
Bob Boilen, All Songs Considered; Aliens Have Landed, Hoping To License All Of Humanity's Music:
"This just in: Aliens from pretty far away have been listening to music from Earth for the past 35 years. As it turns out, the planet's only redeeming quality is our music. From a legal standpoint this is great news, the biggest copyright violation since forever. That's the first thing you want to know about Rob Reid's smart and wacky novel Year Zero, out this week."
