Other Odd Things / Planet Earth on This Is it -odd track info ?

« on: September 26, 2010, 09:18:16 AM »

Hi all,

Ok, this will probably have a very simple explanation, but...here is something very odd I came across while syncronising my MJ songs in my computer.

So I have all albums added to my iTunes library, but yesterday I got a new phone and so I transferred all tracks to 'kies', which is the software I'm using for the new device. Now, you know how this software gets you all track details, right? As I was browsing through all new added tracks, I came across one that wasn't related to MJ at all -in fact, which I don't recognize at all as ever having downloaded it, or it even being in my computer as one of those dodgy music samples that come with windows player, etc. Ok, so the info about this particular track reads:

Joseph Haydn, Die sieben letzten Worte unseres Erlösers am Kreuze, Le Concert des Nations, Jordi Savall
 
In other words, English rather, 'Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross'  :?:


And the track in question, Planet Earth from TII  :?:

Now, before going any deeper with any of this, is there any logical explanation as to why such information would have ended up as the info on Planet Earth's track? I've tried a bit of reading on CDDB and stuff but know nothing about it so I may even be looking in the wrong direction. Please techies out there, a little help?  :?

I mean, it's not like 7 and Christ and Crucifixion are totally unrelated to the hoax  :!:  :?
Oddest of all, is that after about 20 min, the track info was replaced with the right one. This happened half way trhough my writing this, so just to make sure you guys don't think I'm taking the piss, I transferred just that individual track once again, and the same thing happened for the second time.

Ahmadinejad UN speech sparks walk-outs

The US and other Western delegations walked out in protest during a speech by Iran's president at the UN, in which he said most people believed the US government was behind the 9/11 attacks.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was speaking at the UN General Assembly in New York.
The US was joined in its walk-out by representatives from all the EU countries, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Costa Rica.
The US described his remarks as "abhorrent and delusional".
But Mr Ahmadinejad appeared undaunted by the protest, going on to attack Zionism and Israel.
Capitalist 'failures'
The Iranian president's speech was part political diatribe, part sermon, says BBC diplomatic correspondent Jonathan Marcus - a wide-ranging presentation of his own particular world view.
The Iranian president said he would host a conference on terrorism next year and that 2011 should be the year of nuclear disarmament.
Repeating Iran's denial that it was seeking the capacity to build nuclear weapons, Mr Ahmadinejad said some members of the UN Security Council had "equated nuclear energy with nuclear bombs".
Mr Ahmadinejad had started his speech by outlining what he called the failure of the existing world order and capitalism, saying the world should be run by virtuous people like the Prophets.
Although he said that Iran was ready to have a serious discussion with US statesmen, our correspondent says that on the evidence of this speech there would be little for them to talk about.
Addressing the General Assembly, Mr Ahmadinejad said it was mostly US government officials and statesmen who believed that al-Qaeda militants carried out the 2001 attacks on the US.
He said another theory was "that some segments within the US government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining American economy, and its grips on the Middle East, in order to save the Zionist regime". Mr Ahmadinejad usually refers to Israel as the "Zionist regime".
"The majority of the American people as well as most nations and politicians around the world agree with this view", Mr Ahmadinejad said.
In response to the speech, Mark Kornblau, spokesman for the US mission at the UN, told AFP news agency: "Rather than representing the aspirations and goodwill of the Iranian people, Mr Ahmadinejad has yet again chosen to spout vile conspiracy theories and anti-Semitic slurs that are as abhorrent and delusional as they are predictable."

'Hard realities'

Iran has already endured four rounds of increasingly punitive economic sanctions over the nuclear dispute.
Foreign ministers from countries including the US, UK, China, France, Germany and Russia discussed the issue at a meeting on Wednesday, and it is also likely to be raised on the fringes of the General Assembly.
Dozens of fringe meetings take place and correspondents say they constitute the most important business of the event.
Peace-keeping in Somalia, the possible break-up of Sudan, the conflict in Yemen, climate change and UN reform are all set to feature in these smaller meetings.
Speaking shortly after UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon launched the diplomatic marathon on Thursday, US President Barack Obama urged the audience to support direct Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations which started on 2 September.
He said those longing for an independent Palestine must not try to tear down Israel, and called on Israel to extend a moratorium on building new settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Brilliant video! I loved watching people's reactions and their astonished faces!I particularly loved the final bit: "And if the people at the top can make the bad news happen, why can't all of us at the bottom make the good news happen"
