Chris Cornell’s Widow Sues Soundgarden Over Unfinished Songs, Unpaid Royalties

Vicki Cornell, the widow of the late Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, is suing the surviving members of Soundgarden. TMZ reports that Vicky Cornell has filed legal documents claiming that her husband's bandmates are withholding thousands of dollars in owed royalties and disputing the rights to seven unreleased songs. In the legal documents, Vicky claims that these seven songs were "solely authored by Chris; contain Chris' own vocal tracks; and were bequeathed to Chris' Estate." She wants to release the songs, and she says that she's offered to share the recordings with Soundgarden. She would like to finish the releases in a way that Chris would have wanted, and she claims that the band has refused. The documents call Soundgarden's refusal an "unlawful attempt to strong-arm Chris' Estate into turning over certain audio recordings created by Chris before he passed away." Vicky also claims that Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil has falsely claimed that she, Vicky, is the main obstacle

Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien Announces First Live Shows As EOB

After launching his solo project EOB with the ambient instrumental "Santa Teresa" this past fall, Radiohead's Ed O'Brien kicked off his album rollout last week with the nine-minute epic "Brasil." The EOB album — which O'Brien has been talking about since 2016, and which features the likes of Laura Marling, Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche, and O'Brien's Radiohead bandmate Colin Greenwood among many other contributors, and which was produced by Flood and mixed by Alan Moulder — is supposedly coming early next year. And now he's announced his first live shows promoting it. So far O'Brien is just playing four shows, his first under the EOB moniker. They'll be club shows in major North American cities: Toronto, Chicago, New York, and LA. They're happening in February, so maybe the album will be out by then? He's teased one more single and then an early 2020 release, so it could happen. Then again, these gigs are billed as a prelude to a full-scale tour later in the year. EOB's live band will

How This African Woman Beat Global Odds To Become The 2019 Hero Of The Year

It may come across as absurd and preposterous but to this day, there is a stigma around adolescent females in the rural parts of one of the two African countries that were never colonised — Ethiopia. (Liberia is the other one.) In the rural parts of Ethiopia, young girls suffer because they are denied opportunities. And they are denied these opportunities just for being “human”. Yes, in some Ethiopian communities, young girls suffer ignominy and often drop out of school altogether just because of something as natural as menstruation. Yes, as many as half the girls in rural parts of Ethiopia miss school for reasons related to their periods — and that often hampers their education, and by extension, the rest of their lives. What an anomaly! Freweini Mebrahtu — an Ethiopian who has a degree in Chemical Engineering from the US — has dedicated her life fixing that anomaly. And for her efforts, she has been named the 2019 Hero of the Year by CNN.

Loose Buttons – “Fell Into A Hole” (Feat. Forth Wanderers’ Ava Trilling)

I promise this isn't supposed to be an insult: The members of NYC quartet Loose Buttons were toddlers when Is This It came out, but they remind me of one of those post-Strokes bubblegum rock bands that would jockey for placement in O.C. episodes and iPod commercials. They are kids playing a cleaned-up and ultra-catchy version of hip downtown rock 'n' roll, like Phantom Planet fronted by a young, winsomely sneering Alex Turner. I like it! Not long ago Loose Buttons shared the title track from their debut album Something Better. Today they've got another single out. The new one, "Fell Into A Hole," is a bit like Tokyo Police Club doing their best to evoke "Left Of The Dial." It features guest vocals from Ava Trilling of Forth Wanderers fame. The bridge has big Julian Casablancas energy, and the ending even kind of disappears into a void. Singer Eric Nizgretsky has this to say: It’s easy to get caught up in the monotony of routine — working all day, checking social media, seeing friends

Marvin Gaye Family Claims In Court That Pharrell Williams Committed Perjury

Love it or hate it, the "Blurred Lines" case became a signature moment this past decade after Pharrell Williams, Robin Thicke, and a song publisher were ordered to pay nearly $5 million for infringing the copyright to Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up."

Quite a number of musicians have voiced displeasure with an outcome they believed could chill creativity. Pretty much everyone, though, figured the case was over. Well, it's not. On Friday, the Marvin Gaye family filed a motion that proves that no controversy will rest in peace especially when stars live in the public sphere.

New Russian warships fitted to carry hypersonic missiles: report

All Russian warships of new Projects can carry Tsirkon hypersonic missiles, President of Russia’s United Shipbuilding Corporation Alexei Rakhmanov told reporters on Monday. “All the new Projects of ships we are building are universal for a whole family of missiles from the standpoint of launchers, including those, which you mentioned,” Rakhmanov said, replying to a question about rearming all the Russian Navy’s combat ships with Kalibr cruise missiles and Tsirkon hypersonic weapons. As for rearming the warships operational in the Russian Navy with new missiles, the shipbuilders’ chief said he did not consider this as “a too costly issue.” However, the combat ships with the expiring service life are unlikely to be armed with Tsirkon hypersonic missiles, he added. “Perhaps, such work will be premature and this may lead partly even to unjustified expenses,” the head of the United Shipbuilding Corporation said.

We already have some tidbits that this report doesn’t corroborate the allegation that the Obama White House spied on the Trump campaign, but it will conclude that there were deviations from department policy concerning the process in obtaining these warrants.

There’s still an ongoing pattern of FBI officials going off the reservation in order to get what they want. We know they didn’t want Trump to be president.

As the Prime Minister faced fresh questions over trade within the UK after Brexit, Arlene Foster said Government officials had told her there would need to be checks. Asked on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme about the sense of some in the unionist community that Mr Johnson’s deal was a “betrayal”, she said: “I think it is right for the leadership of unionism in Northern Ireland to try to work with the prime minister of the day to get the best deal for Northern Ireland. “We will always do that. We will continue to do that. I think it says more about the person who broke their word than me and the leadership of the… Democratic Unionist Party.”

Richard Trumka, the president of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, said Monday that there's a deal in place.

You're saving for retirement, a home, or investing for your future. Putting funds towards an event that is statistically unlikely to happen in the immediate future sounds like a waste of money.

Supreme Court declines to hear ACLU challenge to Kentucky's abortion ultrasound law

Kentucky's new restrictions on abortion will be allowed to stand without further challenge. The Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to the law requiring women see a fetal ultrasound and listen to a heartbeat before getting an abortion, giving no comment for its Monday decision. Now, the bill signed into law by recently outvoted Gov. Matt Bevin (R) will go into effect. Bevin signed the abortion restriction into law in 2017, and it has been entangled in court challenges ever since. The ACLU contended that the ultrasound and fetal heartbeat had no medical backing and that mandating them violated doctors' free speech rights. But the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the plaintiffs, declaring "as a First Amendment matter, there is nothing suspect with a state's requiring a doctor, before performing an abortion, to make truthful, non-misleading factual disclosures." Only four Supreme Court justices have to say they want to hear an appeal in order for it to appear on their docket. Yet this was a free…
