I get that, but wouldn't they still have to pony up royalties for the songwriting on these songs or was this an attempt to circumvent the whole process?
I view that last track as a medley of cover songs. I know they credited the Talking Heads songwriters in the credits, unsure if they included Prince as well. Prince Be was inspired by Prince as I recall, he sampled some of the lines from ...Cherry Moon movie on one album of theirs.
 
So, I’m listening to P.M. Dawn’s Jesus Wept for the very first time. SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?

a while later... OH MY GOD, it already sounded like bad Prince before you started singing 1999 and why is this track named anything other than 1999?
PM Dawn is one of my all-time favorite artists.. They did quite a few covers over the years. I prefer the first two albums to anything after, but I do love that medley with Coconut/1999/Once In A Lifetime
 
Forgive my ignorance (I have had look but didn’t see anywhere obvious) but where on the forum would I ask if anyone knew about a potential repress of an album?
It’s The Beautiful South’s Carry On Up The Charts compilation. There’s only three on discog and they are £250+. It was originally released in ‘94 so I was hoping it’d get a 30th anniversary reissue. It was on a label called Go! Discs, I’ve sent a message to UMG on instagram but I’m not holding my breath. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I love John Cage :)

As for playing the piece, the first part was easy – the composition begins with a short pause, which when adjusted for the new marathon duration, meant 17 months of silence.

:D:D:D
 
Man the whole concept of a rock n roll “hall of fame” is the least rock n roll thing imaginable!
They should rename it to emphasize that it is to recognize impactful artists. Call it the RnR Commemoration. Hall of fame related to sports is based on statistics. There’s no way to statistically measure impact with music other than sales. The Sex Pistols are in. They had one album FFS.

Yeah I mean call it what you will, induct into it based on whatever, it’s so not rock n roll as a concept that it’s embarrassing.

They do it right up in Seattle, Paul Allen set up an amazing museum for pop music, MOPOP (formerly The Experience Music Project). It has lots of cool music memorabilia and none of thev Hall of Dame pretense.
 
This is the most Liam Gallagher thing I’ve ever seen. Classic quote: “I don’t need some wank award by some geriatric in a cowboy hat,” he further explained.


@Joe Mac thought of you when I read this. 😂

Hahaha! Fantastic!

You’re right and “I don’t need some wank award by some geriatric in a cowboy hat” is absolutely my favourite line of the year so far!
