MEIRLIN Commemorates Her New Life “In California” With New Electro-Pop Single
Los Angeles-based DJ and producer MEIRLIN has released her latest track, “In California,” via Hoop Records. Born and raised in Tokyo, MEIRLIN began her musical journey at the age of three when she was introduced to the classical piano.

RICHIE FAULKNER Says ’10 Years Of Weirdness’ Between K.K. DOWNING And JUDAS PRIEST Has Been ‘A Bit Unnecessary’
During a recent interview with Canada’s The Metal Voice, JUDAS PRIEST guitarist Richie Faulkner was asked what he thinks it would take for the band to reunite with the man he replaced in PRIEST, original guitarist Kenneth “K.K.” Downing. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I don’t know. It’s not my relationship. I think it goes beyond the music. There’s some stuff there that’s obviously personal, and it’s not my fight; it’s not my relationship. I think if it was purely music or business, then maybe it could be a money thing or it could be a creative thing, but I think it goes beyond that. And it’s up to the guys, really — it’s up to the guys to sort of find out what that is, or not. They don’t hav...

I think we knew we had written a pretty good song, that one. And I think the video for its time was ...
