Negativland Interviews U2’s The Edge : « In August of 1991, SST Records released an overpriced single by Negativland called U2, featuring snippets of U2 recordings, shocking outtakes of Casey Kasem’s American Top 40, and a mangled version of U2’s song « I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For. » Shortly after the release, Island Records filed suit against Negativland and SST over copyright infringement and deceptive packaging (the cover featured the letter ‘U’ and the numeral ‘2’ in huge type). An out-of-court settlement was reached, but Island demanded repayment for its legal expenses. » [ via la blogothèque ]
Egalement, FreeFiona, via ailleurs, en l’occurence Scott Andrew, mais dont la blogothèque parle également, comme il se doit : « Fiona Apple’s first two albums Tidal and When The Pawn… are certified multiplatinum success stories. Yet her third album Extraordinary Machine sits in limbo, despite being completed in 2003. Apparently Apple’s label Sony/Epic decided not to release the album due to the high costs involved in promoting it. »
