This album was a delight to work on, and the best way to get it is to pick it up at your local record shop.

This story makes it sound like the major problem is that the Trump Admin did this w/in 60 days of an election. Yes, that's a real abuse. But the major problem is they're basically threatening to denaturalize an opposition legislator, based on racist insinuations. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

The search takes place within the 60-day window of the midterm elections, when the Justice Department has historically avoided such investigative steps related to political candidates.

Owning a smartphone that supports the Ticketmaster App shouldn't be a requirement to see live music.

I've been thinking about the Ticketmaster app since seeing B-52's and Devo at Cascades Amphitheater few weeks ago. Are people going to have to buy a new phone every few years if they want to attend a LiveNation show? Are they going to start providing charging stations outside of the venue?

There's a huge difference between "all ages" and "children's entertainment," and Animaniacs is an "all ages" program.

I was today years old when I learned the voice of Wakko was modeled after Ringo Starr (I was inspired to watch the show by Paramount/Skydance's corporate takeover)

What on earth!?!

"Currently, if an employee makes anything creative in their free time, with their own resources, Hasbro may claim ownership. What we do in our free time should not be dictated by the company; neither should what we make in our free time be owned by the company."

The new petition reiterates this, saying,
"Wizards can currently claim ownership over any IP created by employees during their tenure at Wizards, including works that are fully unrelated to Wizards IP. What we make in our free time should belong to us, not the company."

I almost like it, but $65.99 msrp for a 2lp on a US label? WOOF

I don't get why they keep remixing and remastering this album.

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

It was a reliable $8-10 find in the Portland, OR record store bins for a while. I bought it for the Inca Ore side when it came out!!!

My mouth dropped when I read HOW MUCH MONEY was generated by illegally uploading the Grouper/Inca Ore split. Unbelievable.

I'm listening to the Devo 'Nitrous Nightmare' album, and the two things that stick out to me are... * Sun Ra/Devo were playing a 2,000 cap venue in 1975 (I had no idea Sun Ra had that kind of draw) * Devo played an 82 minute long opening set

Music is a social art form, and that's one of the many reasons why AI-generated musical content will never be cool.

Maybe he said it was a third-rate city? FWIW, I agree with the assessment.

Yes. He wrote something making fun of the mtv2 segment on Portland, OR back in 2008, and people here were VERY MAD about being called "not a real city"

I'm a big fan of the one-gallon plastic bag policy. Not as crazy about only being able to get into the show with the Ticketmaster app.

I think I was the only person taking advantage of Cascade Amphitheater's "audience members can bring in a one-gallon plastic bag full of food" policy at Thursday's The B-52's & Devo concert. Contents: 2 turkey and cheddar sandwiches on ciabatta Dark chocolate and sea salt bar Potato Chips

Shocking even to us: new research finds that nearly half of Live Nation's amphitheaters are actually municipally owned; LNE is operating, often with sweetheart deals. That means state and local government is subsidizing the illegal monopoly.

In April, a jury found Live Nation liable for monopolizing the concert industry. The basic story you’ve probably heard is that Live Nation built its monopoly by buying competitors and linking its venu...

Are they worried about the courts overturning the concept of derivative works?

Can somebody explain why more rightsholders aren't sending DMCA takedowns to the Trump administration? For example, the Trump TV trailer includes the song "Video Killed the Radio Star" and clips from Parks and Rec, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Friends, Breaking Bad, etc...
