Other artists recently releasing through Starbucks include Paul McCartney and Joni Mitchell. Beck too, but that wasn't an exclusive deal. It seems Sonic Youth may be testing those same waters with Hits Are For Squares before they jump in the pool as well.
And there's gonna be a major motion picture releasing soon about Tom Hanks as a character who "finds himself" working at a Starbucks, How Starbucks Saved My Life.
Madonna just turned away all corporate label offers for a $120 million contract with Live Nation, an upstart company who have never even sold a single album yet.
