Musicological banter

L7 is releasing new music again! If they play DC, I demand that they play the 930 Club and not the anthem.
This is what happened when Bobby Bare Jr and Jason Isbell decided to have a kid together.

was Kozmo Dj'ing
As a side note, credit is deserved to whomever curates the playlists in between bands at 9:30. After Mothers struck their set, two black candelabras were brought out as stage decorations while the playlist transitioned to some appropriately-scary black metal. Well played.

Is there a completely unprompted thread with the setlist of what came out of someone's iPod? If not, then no.

Kam Franklin the Suffers singer has a Nu Metal covers EP in the works… consider me interested and confused
So, what really happened to Front 242? Did, they just give up on putting out incredible albums like those two back-to-back masterpieces they did?  Should I stop wanting them to keep putting out things like, up evil and off?

There is a movie in current release called ‘Proud Mary.’ I don’t know much about it other than this. The main character is a black woman who is also an assassin. And apparently, her name is Mary. I wrote the song ‘Proud Mary’ 50 years ago, and I was very excited to have written such a good song.  In fact, it was my very first good song. My songs are special to me.  Precious. So it irks me when people seek to capitalize on the popularity of my music and the good will it has earned with the public for their own financial gain. Over the years, I have often found myself directly opposed to these uses. This movie has nothing to do with me, or my song. They simply picked the title and wrote a completely fictitious story around it. Back in the day, I had decided that I needed to become more professional, more organized about my songwriting efforts. I bought a little notebook and after few days, I wrote down the words. Proud Mary. It was the very first entry in this book.  At first, I didn’t even know what those words meant. No one ever asked me about using my song this way, or even about the meaning of ‘Proud Mary.’  The movie poster has my lyrics changed to read…. ‘killing for the Man every night and day.’ I wrote the song about a mythical riverboat, cruising on a mythical river, in a mythical time. Perhaps, the setting was ‘back in time’ on the Mississippi River. It was obviously a metaphor about leaving painful, stressful things behind for a more tranquil and meaningful life. 
Far from a story about killing people for money."
I saw the trailer when I saw The Last Jedi, and the song was definitely in the trailer (not his version, of course).  Is he saying he didn't authorize that too, because I have a tough time believing that.

Looks to me like he might not have asked enough questions and has some regret over authorizing it's use - a far cry from what he argued in that tweet.

Fogerty might not own the rights to Proud Mary. He does not own the rights to most (if not all) of his music from the 60s. His 60s record label Fantasy owns the rights. Up until the 2000s, he either could not or would not play the songs live.
