Neil Young Says He’s Spending $20,000 to Remove Facebook and Google From Website
A week after filing a lawsuit against President Donald Trump for copyright infringement, Neil Young is addressing a potential problem. On Tuesday, an email (which was obtained by SPIN) was sent to Neil Young Archives members detailing Young’s decision to disengage Google and Facebook from his website. “Facebook knowingly allows untruths and lies in its political ads to circulate on the platform, while bots sow discord among users,” the statement reads in part. “Sowing dissent and chaos in our country via political disinformation is something we cannot condone. Simply put, Facebook is screwing with our election.” Young’s gripes with Facebook go back years, and he’s been outspoken about the social network. The statement notes that it will cost “almost $20,000 to disen...

No One Asked: CeeLo Green Criticizes Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” & More
Source: Johnny Louis/WENN.com / WENN Despite the long list of men in music and entertainment who have been allowed to express sexually explicit thoughts, that same freedom is rarely granted to women. CeeLo Green, who has faced questions over his checkered past, chimed in on Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” smash, framing the joint effort and that of other women artists in similar spaces as “desperate.” In an exclusive chat with UK magazine Far Out, the Goodie Mob star and singer seemed a bit distressed over “WAP” and its soaring popularity, this as the song has become something of a tool of right-leaning politicians to decry the moral fiber of the nation. Adding to this puritanical observation, Green looks to be concerned about the state of ...

The Chainsmokers, BTS Producer DJ Swivel Shares Music Business Advice in New YouTube Series
DJ Swivel doesn’t believe in gatekeeping in the business and believes that information is meant to be shared. DJ Swivel has launched two new YouTube series called “Story Time” and “Just The Tips.” Too many big players—artists, songwriters, producers, engineers—think they have the “secret sauce” in what it takes to be successful. They found a method that’s worked for them and don’t share their expertise with others for any number of reasons. What they fail to realize is that their success will be different than mine, yours, and, well, just about everyone else in music. Not DJ Swivel, though. He doesn’t believe in gatekeeping in the business and believes that information is to be shared. He’s proven that time and time again with his Full Sail Universit...
Badshah Faces Criminal Investigation After Allegedly Purchasing Fake YouTube Plays
Badshah has become a focus in a broader criminal investigation by Mumbai police. Mumbai Police brought in Bollywood artist Badshah over the weekend for several hours of questioning in connection to an alleged scheme involving the purchasing of fake social media metrics.

Upon releasing his single “Paagal,” the song’s music video rocketed to nearly 75 million views in a 24-hour period. At the time,”Paagal” seemed to have dethroned BTS‘ “Boy With Luv” for the biggest debut on the platform, but after further review, YouTube decided not to award the record to “Paagal” and simultaneou...

THE OBSESSED To Mark 40th Anniversary With Rough And Raw Live Recording
Following closely behind doom godfather Wino’s souful new solo album, THE OBSESSED‘s 40th anniversary year yields another slab for fans and devotees in the form of a rough and raw live recording of an early show at the lost-to-history Maryland club Big Dipper. Officially forming in 1980 and building a bridge between metalheads and punks, THE OBSESSED gigged heavily in the Baltimore and D.C. area. Finding their footing amid some early member shuffling, the band’s crunchy, sludgy, dissonant yet hooky American doom coalesced with the lineup of drummer Dave “The Slave” Flood and bassist Mark “Professor Dark” Laue, along with singer/guitarist Scott “Wino” Weinrich. “Live At Big Dipper” presents the trio at their early ’80s ...
