SiriusXM Wins Appeal in Turtles Lawsuit Over Pre-1972 Royalties
“We are gratified that this important issue has been finally and correctly resolved,” Sirius’ attorney, Daniel Petrocelli of O’Melveny & Myers, said over email. Billboard has reached out to Flo & Eddie’s attorney for comment. The ruling is the latest to come from a series of royalties disputes between the parties, stemming from a complex web of state and federal laws governing radio providers and recent changes to those laws. When an AM/FM radio station plays a song over the air, it does not have to pay public performance royalties to the owner of the original sound recording. On the other hand, digital and satellite radio providers including Sirius must pay public performance royalties whenever they broadcast post-1972 recordings — but unti...
Rolling Stones Drummer Charlie Watts Dies at 80
“Rock swings with a heavy backbeat,” Watts once explained to writer Chet Flippo. “It’s supposed to be fun, and that’s why I like it. It’s dance music…Heavy backbeat, that’s what it is.” And that sensibility became a hallmark of the Stones’ enduring sound. “To me, Charlie IS the Rolling Stones,” Keith Richards once told Billboard. “We can be as wild as we want, all over the place, but Charlie never falls out of place. He keeps it all locked in and moving forward.” Wyman, meanwhile, saluted Watts as “an economist” in both his playing and his instrument. “I look at all these drummers that have all these pieces on [their kits] to band around on, and Charlie has, like, seven,” the bassist...

Lil Uzi Vert Calls Kanye West A “Fake Pastor”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jason Koerner / Getty Lil Uzi Vert’s already got enough things going on in his life to start up some new ish, but the Philadelphia rapper has decided to call out Kanye West and his spiritual guidance because, well, we don’t know. In a now-deleted and apparently unprovoked tweet, Lil Uzi Vert took at at Yeezus by bluntly asserting, “Kanye is a fake pastor.” Can’t say we saw that one coming. Though Vert and Kanye have worked together in the past it seems like Lil Uzi is the only big name artist that wasn’t featured on Kanye’s latest album, Donda. Maybe he felt a ways about being left off of it? Heck, maybe he’s doing this in hopes of getting Drake’s attention and hoping on a Certified Love Boy album cut. Whatever the case may be, fans were quick to respond ...

Geese Announce Debut Album Projector, Share “Low Era”: Stream
The Strokes have been the Kings of New York for two decades now, but the scuttlebutt around the palace suggests Geese are coming for the throne. The very young Brooklyn rockers — the eldest member just turned 19 — have announced their debut album Projector. It drops October 29th, and to herald its arrival, the quintet have unveiled the new single “Low Era.” The reference to The Strokes wasn’t accidental, and if you listen to previews of Projector you’ll hear many more. Songs like previous single “Disco” radiate a casual coolness, with textured guitar riffs that would slot nicely alongside cuts from Is This It? But music has come a long way over the last 20 years, and Geese are far more than aughts indie revivalists; the band utilizes tempo changes, psychedelic flou...
