Sir Paul McCartney has filed suit against Sony/ATV Music Publishing in New York Federal Court, seeking a declaration that he can exercise his termination rights under the Copyright Act of 1976 in order to reclaim the rights to many of his musical compositions for The Beatles. Far from being broke, it’s more of a matter of McCartney knowing he may face an uphill battle in reclaiming his song rights since his original contracts are governed by U.K. law, hence, filing in New York.

So, let’s go back to when he was in The Beatles. Here’s the December 1966 issue of English pop-music magazine RAVE where the writer tries to figure out just how much exactly the Fab Four are worth. Was he accurate? No clue, but it was a lot.

Aziz Ansari On Why Trump Makes Me Scared for My Family

“Being Muslim American already carries a decent amount of baggage. In our culture, when people think “Muslim,” the picture in their heads is not usually of the Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or the kid who left the boy band One Direction. It’s of a scary terrorist character from “Homeland” or some monster from the news.”

Lin-Manuel Miranda Just Posted 8 Demo Versions Of “Hamilton” Songs

In July 2008, Lin-Manuel Miranda read Ron Chernow’s biography of Alexander Hamilton on vacation and, inspired by the book, wrote a rap about Hamilton for the White House Evening of Poetry, Music, and the Spoken Word on May 12, 2009, accompanied by Alex Lacamoire. Miranda later said he spent a year writing the Hamilton song “My Shot”, revising it countless times for every verse to reflect Alexander Hamilton’s intellect. By 2012, Miranda was performing an extended set of pieces based on the life of Hamilton, referred to as the Hamilton Mixtape; the New York Times called it “an obvious game changer”. In 2015, Chernow and Miranda received the 2015 History Makers Award by the New York Historical Society for their work in creating Hamilton.

The New Pornographers Will Release New Album, “Whiteout Conditions” On April 7

Whiteout Conditions, the new full-length record from critically acclaimed supergroup The New Pornographers, is due April 7 via Dine Alone Records in Canada. In celebration of the new album, the group is sharing the interactive lyric video for the track “High Ticket Attractions” created by Vancouver-based interactive artist Chris Shier. The song is premiering today on all streaming services. The album is available for pre-order today with a glow-in-the-dark poster.

</p> <p>Beginning <strong>April 18</strong> The New Pornographers will tour the U.S and Europe, kicking off their run of dates at Minneapolis’ storied First Avenue. Tickets for all shows include a free download of the new album, <em>Whiteout Conditions, </em>and can be purchased from <a href="http://www.thenewpornographers.com">www.thenewpornographers.com</a>. Full tour dates can be found below.</p> <p>Of writing the new record, founder and frontman <strong>A.C. Newman</strong> notes that, “at the beginning of this record, there was some thinking that we wanted it to be like a Krautrock Fifth Dimension. Of course, our mutated idea of what Krautrock is probably doesn’t sound like Krautrock at all. But we <em>were</em> thinking: Let’s try and rock in a different way.”</p> <p>Since their debut in 2000, The New Pornographers have released six studio albums including their most recent, <strong><em>Brill Bruisers</em></strong>, hailed as an “exuberant, synthpop-infused set” by <strong>Rolling Stone</strong>, “infectious” by <strong>Harper’s Bazaar </strong>and “the grand and purposeful hookfest that you would hope these guys would come back with” by <strong>Stereogum</strong>. <strong>Pitchfork</strong> went on to note that “with the futurist sound of <em>Brill Bruisers</em>, the whole band embraces a more electric version of itself—bulked-up in chrome-plated armor, firing on all cylinders, and ready to steamroll anything in its path.” The band celebrated the release with a special <a href="http://www.npr.org/event/music/347374290/the-new-pornographers-live-in-concert"><strong>NPR Music First Listen Live</strong></a> concert at the legendary Brill Building, and performed songs from the album on both <strong>Conan</strong> and the<strong> Late Show With David Letterman.</strong></p> <p><strong><em>WHITEOUT CONDITIONS</em></strong><strong> TRACKLIST</strong></p> <ol> <li>Play Money</li> <li>Whiteout Conditions</li> <li>High Ticket Attractions</li> <li>This is the World of the Theater</li> <li>Darling Shade</li> <li>Second Sleep</li> <li>Colosseums</li> <li>We’ve Been Here Before</li> <li>Juke</li> <li>Clockwise</li> <li>Avalanche Alley</li> </ol> <p><strong>THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS LIVE</strong><br /> April 18 – Minneapolis, MN – First Avenue*<br /> April 19 – Chicago, IL – The Metro*<br /> April 20 – Milwaukee, WI – Pabst Theater*<br /> April 21 – Chicago, IL – The Metro*<br /> April 22 – Columbus, OH – Newport Music Hall*<br /> April 25 – Boston, MA – House of Blues*<br /> April 26 – New York, NY – Terminal 5*<br /> April 27 – Philadelphia, PA – Union Transfer*<br /> April 28 – Washington, DC – 9:30 Club*<br /> May 1 – Raleigh, NC – Ritz*<br /> May 2 – Atlanta, GA – Variety Playhouse*<br /> May 3 – New Orleans, LA – Tipitina’s*<br /> May 4 – Houston, TX – White Oak Music Hall*<br /> May 5 – Dallas, TX – Granada Theater*<br /> May 6 – Austin, TX – Stubb’s*<br /> May 9 – London, UK – Electric Ballroom<br /> May 10 – Amsterdam, NL – Paradiso Noord/Tolhuistuin<br /> May 11 – Berlin, DE – Lido<br /> May 13 – Oslo, NO – Vulkan Arena<br /> May 14 – Stockholm, SE – Debaser Strand<br /> May 16 – Copenhagen, DK – Loppen<br /> May 18 – Paris, FR – Divan Du Monde<br /> *with Waxahatchee</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="td_module_15 td_module_wrap clearfix post-80556 post type-post status-publish format-standard category-music tag-david-bowie tag-lego tag-live-aid tag-mick-jagger" > <div class="item-details"> <h3 class="entry-title td-module-title"> <a href="https://www.thatericalper.com/2017/01/27/a-lego-remake-of-david-bowie-and-mick-jaggers-dancing-in-the-street-video/" rel="bookmark" title="A Lego Remake of David Bowie and Mick Jagger’s ‘Dancing in the Street’ Video"> A Lego Remake of David Bowie and Mick Jagger’s ‘Dancing in the Street’ Video </a> </h3> <div class="td-module-meta-info"> <ul class="td-category"> <li class="entry-category"><a href="https://www.thatericalper.com/category/music/">Music</a></li> </ul> <div class="td-post-author-name"> <a href="https://www.thatericalper.com/author/pssadm/">pssadm</a> <div class="td-author-line"> - </div> </div> <span class="td-post-date"> <time class="entry-date updated td-module-date" datetime="2017-01-27T17:43:19+00:00" >Jan 27, 2017</time> </span> <div class="td-post-comments"> <a href="https://www.thatericalper.com/2017/01/27/a-lego-remake-of-david-bowie-and-mick-jaggers-dancing-in-the-street-video/#respond"> <i class="td-icon-comments"></i> 0 </a> </div> </div> <div class="td-post-text-content td-post-content tagdiv-type"> <p>The David Bowie and Mick Jagger recording of “Dancing in the Street” was issued as a single on EMI, with all profits going to the charity.

BuzzFeed editor Jesse McLaren created a parody that replaced the audio about Donald Trump’s Inauguration crowd size during the tour segment of the David Muir-POTUS interview with the dialogue from the famous “Eleven” scene from the brilliant 1984 rock movie This Is Spinal Tap.

Nigel: This is the top to, uh, you know, what we use on stage, but it’s very, very special because, if you can see, the numbers all go to eleven. Look… (pointing at the amp dials), right across the board. Eleven, eleven, eleven and then…
Marty: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten.
Nigel: Exactly.
Marty: Does that mean it’s louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel: Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten. You see, most, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten – you’re on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up – you’re on ten on your guitar, where can you go from there? Where?
Marty: I don’t know.
Nigel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty: Why don’t you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel: (pause) These go to eleven.

Neil Young: “CSNY Has Every Chance Of Getting Together”

Neil Young insists in the latest issue of MOJO magazine that the door is not shut on a possible revival of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – or at least, not as far as he’s concerned. “I think CSNY has every chance of getting together again,” he tells MOJO’s David Fricke. “I’m not against it.” In addition to his conciliatory words regarding his latterly-estranged bandmates, Young talked MOJO through his latest album, Peace Trail, and shared his feelings about the current political situation. While underlining his commitment to causes that place him in apparent opposition to the new regime in the White House, Young is also surprisingly phlegmatic about President Trump, whom he describes as “water on the garden of activism”. Young’s latest thoughts on protest music, including a reflection on his groundbreaking 1969 song Ohio, his current philosophy of music making, and news of Pono – Young’s bespoke high-end digital music technology – round out a fascinating interview.
