Random Music Talk CXXII: 2018 It Is

[BVS]

Radiohead Sue Lana Del Rey for Allegedly Copying “Creep”

Fuck Radiohead. Assholes.

Get Free > Creep anyway. And they don't sound alike.

I think you’d have to be crazy not to hear the similarities.

I’m just surprised by how greedy RH are being, if what Lana Del Ray says is true about wanting 100%., especially since RH were accused of stealing it in the first place.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I'm a bit over Radiohead to be honest.

 

[LemonMelon]

Radiohead sucks anyway derp derp

Spoiler

This is a stupid lawsuit because Radiohead has already been sued for Creep by The Hollies. If anything, the latter is the one that has a case here.

 

[lazarus]

Get Free is my fav song on Lust For Life. I've listened to it a bunch of times and never was reminded of Creep.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I'd like to know who in the Radiohead camp was sitting around listening to LDR and thought hey, maybe we could sue her for 100% of the rights to this song.

I've listened to that song many times too. Never occurred to me that it was similar to Creep. Much easier to hear the similarities once it's been pointed out, but I believe Lana when she says she was not inspired by Radiohead when she wrote the song.

 

[IWasBored]

I haven’t heard the album version, but I apparently heard part of it live tonight. I don’t know if she just didn’t do the parts that supposedly sound like creep, or I just couldn’t hear it.

Get Free is my fav song on Lust For Life. I've listened to it a bunch of times and never was reminded of Creep.

First listen I knew I recognized it, second listen I realized it was Creep. It was so obvious I assumed she had permission.

Several months back I went to go see a friend of mine play and she did a medley of the two.

 

[nielsgov]

Are we sure it's Radiohead themselves sueing? Doesn't Parlophone have the rights to everything they recorded up until Hail to The Thief? I recall them releasing that best-of without the band's permission.

Well they’ve been bought since then by XL. That being said, you can still own writing royalties and not own your recordings.

 

[PhilsFan]

Just know that years from now, the money from this lawsuit will end up funding another Strokes reunion tour.

 

[corianderstem]

I'd never heard of the Hollies/Radiohead suit until this came up. Huh.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I love both Radiohead and Lana so I hope they drop the suit and can all get together and maybe go see a movie or hang out and eat lunch together or something.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Ride smashing it out of the park yet again.

 

[david]

Apparently there’s no lawsuit against Lana:

[lazarus]

"Apparently".

Basically all this says is "LDR made all this shit up according to us, a bunch of corporate suits".

I'll wait for further clarification.

 

[cobl04]

Really could not give less of a fuck about anything than two rich white people suing each other over music they both stole anyway

 

[Mack_Again]

did you guys already talk about MGMT singles? I personally like them all

 

[intedomine]

Somehow managed to start listening to Tame Impala's Currents again. My word, what a cracking album. It's got real staying power. Absolutely gorgeous on the ear.

Parker does a stellar job at also capturing the emotional challenges that a 30yo male might face. It's pretty vivid for me personally at the moment. Very impressed.

If you haven't already, also check out a b-side. It's brill... List of People (to try to forget about).

 

[cobl04]

Lonerism is the masterpiece. It’s great though.

 

[lazarus]

That reminds me, I still have never heard Innerspeaker.

This is getting absurd. Why are you allowing them to be the way they are, Australia?

After a couple of Fosters (the national drink), most Aussies think that roo looks pretty good.

 

[the tourist]

I have terrible luck.

A week before my daughter was born 2.5 years ago, I had 3 bulging discs and a couple strains in my back and spent time in the hospital. I couldn’t pick her up or care for her for the first 2-3 months of her life (heck I could barely stand or walk).

Today, a week after my son was born, I’ve been diagnosed with pneumonia. Which means I cannot pick up or care for him for at least a few days, but more likely a week (or more) to be safe. My poor wife! I feel worse for her than my body does with this infection. I’m glad I’ve been at least wearing a medical mask for a couple days.

It sucks not being able to help or enjoy my time off of work with my family in either of these instances.

 

[cobl04]

That’s horrible man

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Hang in there, tourist.

I heard the Elton John song "Daniel" on the radio the other day and realized how much I like it. It was always one of his singles that I never totally cared for. Now I'm a fan.
