Yes frontman “deeply hurt” as he hits back at “blatant lies” of former bandmate’s lawsuit

Yes vocalist Jon Davison has addressed the accusations made in a lawsuit by former bandmate Riz Story, calling them “blatant lies.” Story sued the band last week claiming the prog-rock legends stole parts of his song ‘Reunion’ from his 2014 film A Winter Rose for their own track ‘Dare To Know’. Story alleged that the melody was first conceived of when he and Davison were in a band with late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins back in the ’90s. He also claimed they were founding members of a band called Anyone. While Davison has confirmed that they were in a band with Hawkins, they were not founding members of Anyone. Instead, they were in a band called Blash Meth, and he left before it became Anyone years later. Advertisement “Any suggestion that I might have heard this generic melody when we were younger, let alone thought it was worthy of Yes, is utterly absurd,” he wrote. In the statement, Davison continued: “For the record I did not write ‘Dare To Know.’ As anyone who studies the Yes albums will know meticulous care is taken on every song to correctly credit the songwriters. On The Quest, I have credits on 6 of… Read More →

Advertisement 1964 INTRODUCING… THE BEATLES Vee-Jay; January 10, 1964 Advertisement What it is: The US version of Please Please Me, originally scheduled for July 1963 but delayed due to Vee-Jay owner Ewart Abner’s gambling debts. By most reckonings, the most counterfeited album of all time. What’s in/out: The release initially omitted the title track and “Ask Me Why” as Vee-Jay had previously released them as a single. However, when Beechwood Music Inc. halted sales as they owned the publishing rights to “Love Me Do” and “P.S. I Love You”, Vee-Jay swiftly restored the two culled tracks in their place.

Tina Turner – Tina Turns The Country On!/Acid Queen/Rough/Love ExplosionTina Turner

Like Sonny Rollins’ Way Out West before her, and Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter after her, Tina Turner’s 1974 foray into country, Tina Turns The Country On! [8/10], is a refreshing illustration of the breadth of her talents. Already successful with her then-husband in the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, Tina’s solo career began not with the rock-infused R&B that made them famous, but country crossover instead. On its 50th anniversary, the album is ripe for reconsideration, thanks to a reissue with a brand new half-speed master vinyl and first ever CD release. In addition, her next three solo albums – 1975’s Acid Queen [7/10], 1978’s Rough [6/10] and 1979’s Love Explosion [5/10] — are also being reissued on vinyl and CD, all for the first time in 20 years.

Father John Misty – Mahashmashana

Is this the end for our plucky hero Josh Tillman? Since Father John Misty’s era-skewering classic Pure Comedy, Tillman has trampolined between stripped-back (God’s Favorite Customer) and lush orchestration (Chloë And The Next 20th Century), without quite nailing the landing either time. Both were good, often great, albums, but ones that seemed a little too in thrall to concept – concepts that Tillman didn’t explain to anybody as he has largely refrained from doing interviews for the past six years.

Advertisement That’s a shame, as Tillman is smart, engaging and funny, more than capable of articulating his position and exploring the vulnerabilities he hides behind black humour. But it meant that nobody could really get a handle on the over-arching conceit of Chloe – a series of hallucinations that acted as sardonic commentary on the role of the love song in late-stage capitalism, set against a musical backdrop of ’50s Hollywood orchestration. That’s a very Father John Misty concept, one that only Josh Tillman could have come up with. And what of Mahashmashana? This… Read More →

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ ending was tweaked after a note from Blake Lively

Warning: Deadpool & Wolverine spoilers ahead. The ending of Deadpool & Wolverine was tweaked following a note from Blake Lively that directly impacted reshoots. READ MORE: ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ review: a sarky, time-skipping superhero send-up According to the film’s director Shawn Levy, the film’s production cycle only experienced “a day-and-a-half” of reshoots. However, these reshoots came after Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds‘ wife Blake Lively – who also makes a cameo in the film – gave Levy a note about the film’s ending that “really opened up a new way of thinking about this part of the movie and it’s why we did this reshoot”.

Michael Kiwanuka – Small Changes

During his first decade as a recording artist, Michael Kiwanuka did so much to expand his musical parameters and upend expectations of what he ought to do and ought to be, that he most definitely earned the right to be a little more measured about his moves.
