The Cars Offer Snatch of New Song

Just found out via the 80's- and 90's-obsessed Slicing Up Eyeballs that The Cars seem to have unobtrusively confirmed that new music is actually being created by the reconstituted band. The group's FaceBook page will let you play a snippet of new tune Blue Tip, which sounds like...classic Cars, maybe from Panorama or Candy-O. It could have been worse, it could have been a dancey electronic thing like the remix by The Transients below.

As for making Blue Tip only available on their FaceBook page, it seems like a bit of an odd move to me, but with MySpace becoming the place where tweets go to be repeated ad nauseum, I can see it making sense for some people.
