Joel Little, Lorde and Taylor Swift Hitmaker, Sells Songwriter Catalog to Hipgnosis
The overall geographic split of revenue breaks down to 61% U.S. and 39% international. Notably, 65% of that stems from Little’s top five songs: “Whatever It Takes,” “Royals,” “Young, Dumb & Broke,” “You Need to Calm Down” and “Me!” Little first rose to prominence for his early collaborations with Lorde, co-writing and producing the singer’s debut EP The Love Club and her freshman album Pure Heroine; he also co-wrote her second album Melodrama. “Royals,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for nine consecutive weeks, has sold over 10 million copies worldwide and won Lorde and Little Song of the year at the 2014 Grammys. Its accompanying album Pure Heroine — which also included the Little co-written and produced Hot 100 No. 6 hit “Team” — was certified three-times p...
The Avalanches Drop 20th Anniversary Edition of ‘Since I Left You’ With MF Doom Remix: Listen
The Avalanches reached for the stars with their debut Since I Left You, an album that could be from anywhere, and anytime. In reality, it was created back on earth in 1999 and 2000, and released by a band of Melburnians who’d meticulously cut and pasted scores of samples into a musical patchwork quilt, like we’ve never heard before or since. Its magic ingredients, slivers of songs from the likes of Françoise Hardy, Sérgio Mendes, Raekwon, Wayne and Shuster, and even Madonna, were woven into songs, which included the title track and “Frontier Psychiatrist.” It was crazy in the coconut, and an instant classic. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power. Get to meet Beautiful p...

2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro First Look: It Even Lifts, Pro
Of all the changes both large and small on the 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro, there’s absolutely no mistaking one of them: The exclusive new Electric Lime Metallic paint color. The hue’s name is accurate, that is for sure. It’s the exclusive color for this year’s TRD Pro, joining a list of previous TRD Pro tones that ranged from muted to bright, but none of those paint colors has ever popped quite this hard on a TRD Pro. If Electric Lime is too bright for you, the 2022 Tacoma TRD Pro will also be available in Super White, Magnetic Gray Metallic, and Midnight Black Metallic. If last year’s exclusive color—the milky Lunar Rock—was just too blah, Electric Lime Metallic might be just what you need. See all 7 photos A new exclusive color might be the head-turner, but ...
High School Football Coach Suspended For Forcing Player To Eat Pork
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: MediaNews Group/East Bay Times via Getty Images / Getty Hazing is still a problem that exists in football along with bad behavior from some of its coaches—but, the most recent example? A high school football coach, and his staff, in Canton, Ohio have been suspended after it was learned that he forced one of his players to eat pork against his religious beliefs as a punishment. The incident occurred on May 24, the last day of classes. The senior, a rising athlete who has attracted Division I college schools, had missed a voluntary practice session with the team four days earlier. Coach Marcus Wattley decided to make him sit in the locker room surrounded by his teammates and other coaches and eat an entire pepperoni pizza as punishment even though he was fu...
Prosecutors Want Derek Chauvin Sentenced To 30 Years
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Minnesota Department of Corrections / Minnesota Department of Corrections Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin might’ve been convicted of murdering George Floyd last summer, but he’s still awaiting sentencing and prosecutors want the menace to society put away for a few decades. Raw Story is reporting that prosecutors are asking the judge overseeing the case that he be sentenced to 30 years in prison for his “egregious abuse” of his job as a police officer and called his actions “particularly cruel.” No lies detected there. Interestingly enough Chauvin is facing up to 40 years in prison as the charge of second-degree murder carries with it a 4 decade sentence, so an ask of 30 years is a small break for Chauvin if we ever saw one. They recalled ...
Mayo Infused MLB Announcer Called Out For Racist Joke About Black Player’s Durag
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Norm Hall / Getty An Arizona Diamondbacks broadcaster is in hot water after an attempted joke about a New York Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman’s durag failed to land. The insensitive quip instead came off as culturally out of touch and arguably racist. During Tuesday’s game (June 1) between the Diamondbacks and the Mets, a close up camera shot showed Stroman on the mound with a durag peeking out from underneath his baseball cap during the 4th inning. Arizona announcer Bob Brenley’s noticed the ethnic headwear, which prompted his caucazoid instincts to suddenly kick in saying: “Pretty sure that’s the same du-rag that Tom Seaver used to wear when he pitched for the Mets.” Stroman was not asked about the comment in his postgame but he has addressed the mat...
