MoFi Faces Fraud Lawsuit for Selling Vinyl Reissues as “Purely Analog” While Using Digital Masters
Elite reissue label Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab was mired in scandal in recent weeks after the company admitted to revelations that it was no longer using entirely analog practices in its vinyl pressings. In a Washington Post feature, the company confirmed that it has been using Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology since 2011. It’s this situation that’s resulted in a new proposed class action lawsuit seeking damages and restitution, Billboard reports and documents viewed by Pitchfork confirm. The lawsuit, which includes diagrams outlining the vinyl production chain and MoFi’s specific branding, focuses on records labeled “Original Master Recordings” and “Ultradisc One Step” by MoFi. It argues that the company misrepresented products to consumers by using digital mastering in its production...

Eyedress Shares Origins of ’80s-Inspired “DREAM DEALER” Video: Exclusive
Origins is a recurring new music series giving artists the opportunity to share exclusive insights into their latest release. Today, LA-based bedroom pop artist Eyedress shares the origins of the video for his new track, “DREAM DEALER.” Rising bedroom pop artist Eyedress is gearing up to release his highly-anticipated new album Full Time Lover on Friday (August 26th), and a few weeks ago, he shared a new single, “DREAM DEALER,” from the LP. “DREAM DEALER” features The Neptunes member Chad Hugo, but Eyedress maintains his inimitable hazy style of pop throughout — though his earlier recordings possess an appropriately lo-fi aesthetic, “DREAM DEALER” and Full Time Lover‘s earlier singles feature Eyedress at his most refined and specific.

Tommy Lee Says He Shared Nude Photo While on a “Bender,” Urges Fans to “Pull Your Fucking Junk Out”
Tommy Lee has explained the full-frontal nude selfie he shared across his social media accounts earlier this month. During Mötley Crüe’s show in San Antonio, Texas, on Sunday night (August 21st), the drummer disclosed that he was on a “bender” when he uploaded the headline-making photo. He also encouraged male audience members to “pull your fucking junk out.” The veteran rocker’s nude pic stayed up on Instagram and Facebook for several hours before being taken down, and still remains on his Twitter account more than 10 days since he first posted it on August 11th. Now, it appears that a drinking spree led Lee to share the explicit photo for all to see. “A couple of weeks ago, we had like a two-week break off the tour, and I went on a motherfucking bender, bro — a bender,” said Lee fro...
Allison Janney and Jurnee Smollett Go on a Manhunt in Trailer for Netflix Film Lou: Watch
“I wish I could say that some good came from what I did,” Allison Janney says in the trailer for Lou, Netflix’s upcoming action thriller. “In truth, I left the world a more dangerous place.” The clip keeps Lou’s official job title under wraps, but when a desperate mother (Jurnee Smollett) asks her to help locate her kidnapped daughter, it’s clear she’s some kind of dangerous badass.

As the trailer progresses, Janney’s Lou reveals that “this isn’t just a kidnapping,” but she stays mum on everything else, like how she learned how to incapacitate a grown man (Her answer? “Girl Scouts”). Logan Marshall-Green, Ridley As...
