The ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ singer scoffs at Scooter Braun and the new owners of Big Machine Records for releasing her old live performance and claiming it’s much more recent.
Apr 24, 2020
AceShowbiz – Taylor Swift is putting the bosses of her old record label on blast again for releasing a 12-year-old live performance and claiming it’s much more recent.
The pop star turned to Instagram on Thursday, April 23, 2020 after learning a new Big Machine album, released on Thursday night, was not recorded in 2017, as advertised.
The “Me!” singer wrote, “I want to thank my fans for making me aware that my former record label is putting out an ‘album’ of live performances of mine tonight. This recording is from a 2008 radio show performance I did when I was 18. Big Machine has listed the date as a 2017 release but they’re actually releasing it tonight at midnight.”
Taylor added, “I’m always honest with you guys about this stuff so I just wanted to tell you that this release is not approved by me. It looks to me like (new Big Machine boss) Scooter Braun and his financial backers, 23 Capital, Alex Soros and the Soros family and The Carlyle Group have seen the latest balance sheets and realized that paying $330 MILLION for my music wasn’t exactly a wise choice and they need money.”
“In my opinion… just another case of shameless greed in the time of Coronavirus. So tasteless, but very transparent.”
Swift’s battle with Big Machine and her former label boss Scott Borchetta began last year 2019 when he sold the company and with it her masters to Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande’s manager Scooter Braun without consulting her. She then claimed Borchetta and Braun had banned her from performing her old songs that were under contract to them. They dismissed her allegations and a planned hits medley at the American Music Awards went ahead as planned.
Swift has also made it clear she plans to re-record all the hits she had as a Big Machine artist once her contract expires with the label this year, and re-release them, thus making the original masters close to worthless.

Apr 24, 2020
AceShowbiz – The Rolling Stones have thrilled fans by releasing their first new track in over seven years.
“Living in a Ghost Town” was written during the band’s recent recording sessions and Mick Jagger and his bandmates completed it in lockdown due to the coronavirus.
It’s the group’s first original tune since 2012’s “Doom and Gloom” and “One More Shot”, which both appeared on greatest hits album “GRRR!”.

“The Stones were in the studio recording some new material before the lockdown and there was one song we thought would resonate through the times that we’re living in right now…,” Jagger explains. “I hope you like it.”
Bandmate Keith Richards adds, “So, let’s cut a long story short. We cut this track well over a year ago in L.A. for part of a new album, an ongoing thing, and then s**t hit the fan. Mick and I decided this one really needed to go to work right now and so here you have it. Stay safe!”
The new release comes days after the Stones performed “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” as part of Global Citizen’s “One World: Together at Home” virtual COVID-19 relief concert last weekend.

In 1968, Vivian Perlis, a research librarian at Yale, knew that she needed to talk to Julian Myrick. A man who had spent his life in the insurance business was not the most likely of musicological sources. But Myrick’s business partner had not only been significant in the field of life insurance, but was also one of the most important figures in American music history: the composer Charles Ives, who had died 14 years earlier.“He was writing music at the time when I first knew him,” Myrick recalled to Perlis, in a Southern drawl. “He worked very hard at it, but people couldn’t understand it.”Myrick was only the beginning of what became Perlis’s landmark resource, celebrating its 50th anniversary this season: Yale University’s Oral History of American Music. Over the following years, Perlis sought out more of Ives’s friends and acquaintances. “I searched for the oldest and most fragile Ives survivors and often found myself in hospitals and rest homes waiting for an aged Yale classmate or Ives relative to wake from a nap to tell his story,” she would later recall.She even tracked down the barber who cut Ives’s hair: a man nicknamed Babe, who hadn’t known that his patron was a composer but did remember that Ives once yelled at him to shut off the radio. Perlis assembled these and other recollections into a groundbreaking 1974 book, “Charles Ives Remembered: An Oral History.”Charles Ives: “You know, Babe? Your work reminds me of mine”Yale Oral History of American MusicFor the most part, the Oral History of American Music, known as OHAM, has focused not on insurance salesmen or barbers, but has instead gone straight to the source: living American composers, who sit for interviews that can last many hours. The archive has grown to encompass recordings of around 3,000 interviews with major voices in American music.“When you talk to people, they have this sense of their own value in a way that they haven’t before,” Libby Van Cleve, an oboist and the director of OHAM, said in an interview in January at her office at Yale. Perlis died last year at 91; Ms. Van Cleve became director of the oral history project in 2010, when Perlis retired.Ms. Van Cleve still frequently conducts interviews with composers, one of her favorite parts of the job. “My husband used to joke, ‘If you weren’t a musician, you’d be an investigative reporter,’” she said. “If I meet somebody new, I’m always asking a lot of questions.”Perlis, with a similarly inquisitive temperament and an elegant presence, made it her life’s mission to record the voices of American composers. She conducted many hours of interviews with Aaron Copland; after he saw the transcripts, he realized they could form the basis for the book he always meant to write, which became a two-volume autobiography.
