Random music news for Wednesday, May 22, 2024
It looks like we’ve entered a period of slow music news as the US gears up for the Memorial Day long weekend. Here’s what I managed to pull together for May 22, 2024.
- Oasis reunion rumours are in overdrive again. It doesn’t take much to set them off, does it?
- Diddy streams have dropped way down since all those assault allegations.
- Peloton has banned Diddy’s music.
- Toronto is already freaking out about the Taylor Swift-related traffic this November.
- Wait: Graceland is up for sale? And what’s this about fraud? (Via Christopher)
- This is satire, people! SATIRE! It’s funny, though. (And then there’s this bakery.)
- AC/DC’s entire first show from their new European tour has been posted.
- On that topic, chatbots have ingested a LOT of human-created data. Copyright holders now want their cut. This is a big, big deal. Just ask Scarlett Johannson about what happened to her.
- Yoko Ono has listed this New York apartment. She and John bought it in 1971.
- Book publishers are really mad at Spotify for the way the company is handling audiobooks.
- Lenny Kravitz is the latest guy to get a Las Vegas residency.
- Shouldn’t someone talk to Drake about his gambling problem? (He lost more than $500,000 on the Fury vs. Usyk fight.)
- What else can you say but “Oops.”
- Want to buy the actual lighted dancefloor from Saturday Night Fever? You can.
BONUS: Meanwhile, on German network TV…
