selling half of your catalog seems pretty smart, you get the big lump sum now but you still get some of those long tail residuals. i just kind of assumed these were inherently all-or-nothing deals so it's good to know they're not. www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/sia-sells-50...

i love that Anton Fig is in Bob Dylan's band now. Paul Schaffer should be in there too, just quietly talking into the mic all the time, agreeing with or repeating whatever Bob says.

it still boggles my mind that Tyler Perry acted in a David Fincher movie. like just imagine Fincher doing 50 takes of a scene while Perry's like "interesting... we would've done that once and wrapped production on Friday."

the funny thing is Stevie already said that he was releasing a new album next year with 4 songs he wrote for Key of Life...i wonder if that album is still coming but without those songs. maybe he realized he couldn't improve on the 1976 versions, but i'm glad he did this.

one of the four Key of Life outtakes that Stevie Wonder released today is "I Can See the Sun in Late December," which I wrote about a few months ago when all we had of the song was a Roberta Flack version and a few Stevie live performances: www.spinmagazine.com/2026/05/deep...

people worry way too much about whether a movie or show's premise sounds interesting on paper. what they do with it onscreen is all that matters, forget about the paper.
