Come vi abbiamo accennato qualche giorno fa , l'etichetta discografica EMI , detenendo formalmente i diritti di sfruttamento esclusivo del materiale dei Beatles , ha citato in giudizio due siti internet per aver indebitamente digitalizzato e messo in vendita gli album e i singoli brani dei Fab Four senza averne assolutamente l'autorizzazione: per la natura stessa del processo (o, se proprio vogliamo essere maliziosi, per il prestigio dell'accusante), la corte ha già emesso la sentenza. Il giudice federale americano John F. Walter, infatti, con un decreto ingiuntivo d'urgenza ha ordinato la chiusura immediata [...]
OK, so it's Friday afternoon in the great Pacific Northwest and I'm at work. If it weren't for the fact I'm supposed to hear back from a couple of clients about new contracts, I'd split this joint in a heartbeat. I. don't wanna work. I wanna bang on the drum all day.... So, I'm cleaning up some of my drafts...here's a radio mix from over a year ago. Who knows if it's any good. This week's radio mix: Santana - Hold On Isaac Hayes - Don't Let Go REO [...]
Forgive us for the headline, but we couldn't resist. Yes, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are reuniting once again, though not to perform Beatles material. Instead, Macca's gonna give his old drummer a push in the studio, as he'll lend a hand on a few tracks for Starr's upcoming album, Y Not , the follow up to 2008's Liverpool 8 . "Paul was doing the Grammys," Starr writes in his press release (via Rolling Stone ). "So he came over to the house and was playing bass [...]
Filed under: Count Five , Canada Blue Rodeo 's 12th studio effort, 'The Things We Left Behind,' is the roots-rockers first non-live double album in their 25-year career. In addition to being released digitally and on CD, it's also available on vinyl with a gatefold. The reason for that is because Blue Rodeo's two leaders, Greg Keelor and Jim Cuddy, have been vinyl junkies since they were kids. Now the Canadian icons are revealing to Spinner the double LPs from their youth that left the most [...]
Have you ever wished a favorite artist could do-over a particular album, song, or period in its career? I've always wished that The Beatles could have finished their final 3 albums in a more satisfying, more unifying way. I believe I speak for most Beatles fans in saying that there's a lot to be gained by our shared experiences with the band . In a world where there is little consensus, Beatles fans are pretty much in step with each other over the first two periods of the band's career: After [...]

Who would've thought that the first David Lynch film since 2006's nightmarish Inland Empire would be a film about Beatles guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi ? Well, given Lynch's curious film career and more recent interest in Transcendental Meditation , it doesn't seem too crazy of a proposition. The director will be traveling to India in December to begin production on what may very well be a documentary on the late meditation guru, who passed away of natural causes in 2008. The Maharishi became prominent in western culture in the late 1960s, soon after The [...]
Based on the last year alone , we know that David Lynch likes to involve himself in a rather creative projects. So, with that in mind, the following news should come as little of a surprise: As NME reports, Lynch has announced that his next project will be a film about The Beatles' meditation guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi . The India native gained worldwide fame in the 1950s for his Transcendental Meditation technique and work with numerous high-profile. He died just last year in at the age of 90. "It won't [...]
Filed under: News , Holy Hell Ozzy Osbourne says that he was okay with the fact that Paul McCartney refused to collaborate with him. In fact, Ozzy, who has been a lifelong Beatles fan and even went so far as to cover the Fab Four's 'In My Life' on 2005's 'Under Cover,' was flattered by the snub. "Meeting Paul McCartney was f---ing phenomenal.," the original Black Sabbath frontman told UK magazine Heat of his run-in with Sir Paul. "I [...]

I recently got rid of all my CDs. After years of buying, trading and collecting albums, after dragging them across the country, after loading most of them onto my computer and after watching them gather dust for the last two years I finally decided to get rid of them. I sold as many as I could and I gave the rest away to friends. It wasn't easy parting ways with my collection. And at 1000+ CDs it was an actual collection, one that I had carefully cultivated and was quite proud of. But by now you know the [...]
Filed under: Exclusive , Spinner Interview Saul Williams is an artist of many talents. He began his career in poetry and rose to international acclaim as the star and co-writer of the film ' Slam ' before making the natural leap to MC. Williams spent most of the 2000s fronting bands that played a genre-busting music that was neither hip-hop nor rap-rock. Further refuting any kind of categorization, Williams worked with famed producer Rick Rubin and later teamed with Nine [...]

Modern electronic-rock music, inaugurated in the early 1960s, is, and always has been, a joint enterprise of British military intelligence and Satanic cults. On the one side, the Satanists control the major rock groups through drugs, sex, threats of violence, and even murder. On the otherside, publicity, tours, and recordings are financed by record companies connected to British military intelligence circles. Both sides are intimately entwined with the biggest business in the world, the international drug trade. The so-called "rock stars" are pathetic puppets caught in a much larger scheme. From the moment they receive their first recording royalties, the [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive Pink Floyd 's classic double-record 'The Wall' has not only been a staple of rock but has also been a part of pop culture trivia, as founding drummer Nick Mason learned. "There's a [quiz show] program here [in Britain] called 'University Challenge,'" he tells Spinner. "Just by chance they happened to ask these students to name the song and the guitar player. I'm sad to say they failed. They didn't seem to know either Pink Floyd, David Gilmour or 'Comfortably Numb.'" [...]
