IT may be a new year, but when it comes to trending topics, Michael Jackson’s name refuses to go gentle into that good night. A previously unreleased clip of Michael Jackson song Another Day appeared online via TMZ early Monday.

Only 90 seconds of the tune is currently available, and features Jackson singing: “My life has taken me beyond the planets and the stars/ And you’re the only one that could take me this far/ I’ll be forever searching for your love.”

TMZ reports the song was recorded as a duet with Lenny Kravitz, and according to Rolling Stone, Another Day shares some similarities with an old song of Kravitz’s, Storm, off his 2004 record Baptism.

Kravitz doesn’t sing on the leaked clip, but shortly after Jackson’s death, the rocker wrote a letter to Spinner, talking about his time working with the late King of Pop.

“I got to work with Michael on a track that has not been released, and it was the most amazing experience I’ve had in the studio,” Kravitz told Spinner. “He was funny; very funny and we laughed the whole time. I also saw what a beautiful father he was. He was a beautiful human being.”

However, TMZ posted a later story citing sources insisting the song was never meant to see the light of day. Sony, with the support of Jackson’s estate lawyers, wants to have the song pulled off the Internet, TMZ reported.

For his part, Lenny Kravitz posted a video saying he didn’t leak the song and he has no idea how it got out there.

He says the song is not mixed and not a final version.

Manitoba-made technology earns faith of investors across Canada

Blue light flashed as a robotic arm welded the metal in front of it.

Unlike other robots of its kind, this one uses artificial intelligence. It’s supposed to see and adjust its movements if a part it’s working on doesn’t match the standard piece.

It’s Manitoba-made technology that investors across Canada are betting on. TetraGen Robotics, the technology’s creator, announced it had raised $1.8 million in an oversubscribed seed funding round.

It announced the funding Monday afternoon. Jim Richardson, from the family behind Richardson International, is among the investors listed online.

Mike O’Shea is guilty of wearing rose-tinted glasses at times.

There have been situations where a certain player, or the team as a whole, has obviously struggled, and the head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will downplay the questioning.

But not even O’Shea could take a glass-half-full approach to his team’s most recent performance.

The Bombers, who were on a bye last week, returned to work on Sunday at Fort Garry Lions Field for the first time since suffering an inexcusable 35-19 home loss to the B.C. Lions on July 30.

Deflated over mate’s hate for renovated pate

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I kind of lost it recently with the hot weather and all the sweating, so I had my barber buddy completely shave off my thick head of hair.

Right away, I loved the cool feeling and thought it really looked good with my silver earring.

But when I came home that evening with my new look, my wife said it looked terrible and freaked her out.

Then she really went too far and said I’m now “all nose, with beady little eyes and a big mouth.” I had no idea she didn’t like my face anymore. I’ve never been considered an ugly man, but is that how my wife sees me now? At least other women don’t think so.

Bauer inks two-year contract extension with Jets

The Winnipeg Jets have packed quite a punch with their latest player signing.

Popular defenceman Tyrel Bauer inked a two-year contract extension Monday — one that could very well see him make his NHL debut sooner than later.

Bauer, 24, was a restricted free agent this summer. The new pact will pay him US$875,000 if he’s on the Jets this season and US$250,000 if he’s in the American Hockey League with the Manitoba Moose.

The two-way contract switches to a one-way deal for 2027-28, meaning he makes NHL money regardless of where he plays.

We’re halfway through the 10-week summer holiday and if your family is anything like mine, it’s very likely you’ll be in full-blown survival mode at this point.

You’ve already visited all the popular ice-cream spots in the city (and if you haven’t then you’ll find a list of our faves here) , you’ve ticked every box in our Road Trip Bingo Card and answered every single question in the our How Well Do You Know Your Province Quiz (Part 1 and Part 2) … and there are still 29 days to go before school starts on Sept. 8.

If you’re running low on ideas, don’t worry — we’ve got you covered, with not one, not two, but three cycling/walking routes to help you squeeze a bit more fun from what’s left of the holidays. Grab your helmets, lace up your sneakers, pack water bottles and get outside to explore different neighbourhoods in the city.

NOTE: Check the Winnipeg Trails website before you leaving to make sure paths are open and in working order, especially if we’ve had a bout of nasty weather.

The drugs changed — our systems didn’t

Marion Willis 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

A recovery-oriented system must connect housing, care, public safety and long-term community support.

Around 2016, something changed on Winnipeg’s streets. Methamphetamine became more prevalent. Fentanyl entered the supply. The drugs became more toxic, addiction more relentless and homelessness far more complex.

Our systems, however, largely remained the same.

For years, we have described Winnipeg’s homelessness crisis primarily as a housing problem. There is no question that we need affordable, supportive and transitional housing. But housing is only part of the crisis unfolding on our streets.
