Briefly: Emmylou and Gram, Green Day, Dead Kennedys, pop backlash, jazz embraced
Rhino/Warner Archives will release "Emmylou Harris Anthology: The Warner-Reprise Years" and "Sacred Hearts and Fallen Angels: The Gram Parsons Anthology" on April 17.
Other Garden, a band from Cambridge, England, is suing Green Day , claiming that the American band's song "Warning" violates the copyright of an Other Garden song, MTV.com reported.
From a Dead Kennedys press release:
Thanks to a court's ruling on December 22, 2000 that affirmed a jury's decision against former lead singer Jello Biafra, more albums and videos are now in the offing from Dead Kennedys ... New material could be available as early as spring 2001. According to the band's former guitarist, East Bay Ray, several labels have already been in contact with the band's partnership, Decay Music, about releasing digitally remastered albums, previously unreleased live albums, and home videos. The Dead Kennedys' catalog previously had been controlled by Biafra's Alternative Tentacles Records label.
According to a Salon article: "The teen pop craze may be over. ... A pop backlash is now brewing, veteran Top 40 consultant Guy Zapoleon says--just like the one that erupted on the heels of the last Debbie Gibson, New Kids on the Block and Tiffany teen tidal wave 10 years ago."
According to Amazon.com, "The morning after the first episode [of the PBS documentary 'Jazz'] aired ... a total of 19 jazz titles were included among Amazon.com's 100 Top Sellers--an almost unheard of number for a genre that represents less than 3 percent of total U.S. music sales."
We were recently looking on All Music Guide for some information on the Kinks. This is how the service describes the British band's "Tones":
"Irreverent, Raucous, Humorous, Rambunctious, Wistful, Precious, Fiery, Gleeful, Playful, Gentle, Rousing, Poignant, Witty, Rowdy, Acerbic, Aggressive, Quirky, Theatrical, Literate, Cerebral, Whimsical, Ironic, Wry, Rebellious."
