"The new owners of Fender since 2020 are attempting to own the copyright on the Stratocaster body. A German court has taken them part of the way but most experts don't believe it will hold up to scrutiny. Nonetheless, Fender has sent Cease and Desist letters to multiple guitar makers telling them to stop production, call back orders and destroy stock. Fender may have just committed brand suicide because history is not on their side."
"It is no secret that music contracts can be rather brutal on artists. Often the stories focus on not getting paid but there is also the interesting idea of a lawsuit ordering a musician to fill his or her contract and record what we are calling a court ordered album. We have multiple examples plus one where the band was paid NOT to record an album."
"Sony Music Publishing confirmed an agreement to acquire Blackstone's Recognition Music Group catalog for $3.5 billion. The Red Hot Chili Peppers just sold their catalog for $300 million. Other Funds are raising billions to start buying. These buyers are called Music Rights Funds. I became interested in how these Funds actually made money. How does one invest and can I sell my own music. I have the answers for you."
"The New York Times released their 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters list a short while ago. I know online lists usually have some click bait to start conversation but this list was overtly egregious. Not for who was on it. It was who was left off. We will go over the list and play some artists that should have been on there."
Oh SNAP! This week, we're joined by Five Iron Frenzy vocalist Reese Roper to explore the life and times of Biz Markie, otherwise known as the Clown Prince of Hip Hop. The unforgettable chorus of “Just a Friend,” which was an interpolation of a 1968 Freddie Scott song, became instantly iconic, and Biz's less-than-perfect performance gave the song endless charm and personality. Whether Biz was inevitably bound for one hit wonderdom is up for debate, but a landmark court case against a sample on his next album may have been what cemented it. Regardless, he had a long and interesting career, all the way up to his untimely passing in 2021. Is there more in Biz Markie's catalog worth diving into if you only know the hit? This week, we'll see if he really IS a hundred proof. One Hit Thunder is brought to you by DistroKid, the ultimate partner for taking your music to the next level.

"Many summer tours are having to scale back or cancel altogether. The nickname given to this practice is Blue Dot Fever. It is named after the blue dots that appear on unsold seats when a ticket buyer uses Ticketmaster. It has become indicative of a larger societal and financial concern that is leading to people not being able to attend live music. We will explain."
"This is a requested topic from a friend. He wondered if we had ever discussed steel drums. We had not so we did a show. We have some history and some discussion of tuning and prices. There are also a lot of songs that use the steel drum you may not have noticed before."
Jason Fraley interviews hip-hop legend Big Daddy Kane, who performs live with the Duke Ellington School Orchestra at the Bethesda Theater in Bethesda, Maryland this Friday. He also teases his upcoming final album “Curtain Call" and shares memories of how Biz Markie gifted him “Ain't No Half Steppin',” how he recorded “Very Special” with a very pregnant DJ Spinderella, and who he'd put on Rap's Mount Rushmore. (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")
This week on Framed, we're diving into the wild world of music copyright infringement — the songs that borrowed a little too much, the artists who got caught, and the courtroom battles that changed the industry. From the Beach Boys and Chuck Berry to Biz Markie, Vanilla Ice, Katy Perry, Robin Thicke and Pharrell, and The Verve, we break down some of the most famous cases in music history.Weekly whimsy recommendations: Joel recommends Gumbuya World for a wholesome day out of rollercoasters, wildlife and waterpark energy, while Steph recommends Love on the Spectrum for a cozy, heartwarming binge.Come follow us on all the apps@framedthepod@joeldavid_b@cheersthanxalotWant to watch the episode?

"On April 16 2026 A federal jury in Manhattan found that Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation have been acting as a monopoly. The case is wide ranging involving 33 states and the District of Columbia. Live Nation will not appeal any of the verdicts. We will discuss what is a monopoly and what these decisions could mean for the future."
Originally released as Episode 117 on August 22nd, 2022, this episode is a look back on the late Biz Markie and his hit single “Just A Friend.” The unique vocal delivery and hilarious lyrics of the song launched it into the Top 10 of the Billboard charts in 1990. Since then, the infectious chorus has remained lodged in the public consciousness, even after his untimely passing in July of 2021. In this episode, Chris and Chris take a deep dive into the song that no one should feel shy to sing along to.

"Just a bit of fun this week. Nobody is perfect so it is pretty easy to hear mistakes in recorded music. Here are some of the big ones in rock and hopefully some you did not know. Once you hear them, you cannot unhear them."
DL works through the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list, reviewing four albums and four songs from entries #477–481 — and handing out scores along the way.Albums covered: Miranda Lambert's The Weight of These Wings (2016) gets an 8.7/10 — a genuine surprise, with DL arguing it's more Orville Peck than generic Nashville country. Selena's Amor Prohibido (1994) gets a 7/10, with praise for Los Dinos and the vocal performances but honest limits on Tejano expertise. Something Else by The Kinks (1967) gets a thoughtful take on a band that was the real rock stars of the '60s — even when they were chasing the Beatles. Howlin' Wolf's Moanin' in the Moonlight earns a 10/10 and a full Delta Blues sermon, with a side argument that it deserves to be ranked way higher than #487.Songs covered: "Just a Friend" by Biz Markie, "Oye Como Va" by Santana, "Back That Azz Up" by Juvenile, and "Our Lips Are Sealed" by the Go-Gos.Plus: the Radiohead solo episode series explained, listener questions on which Radiohead album to give Evil and Rachel as a gateway, and DL's current ranking with Howlin' Wolf sitting at #2 behind Arcade Fire's Funeral.Part of Verse Chorus Verse's ongoing Rolling Stone 500 album-by-album coverage.Rolling Stone 500,Miranda Lambert,Howlin Wolf,The Kinks,Selena,Biz Markie,Santana,album review,Delta Blues,country music,music podcast,Radiohead
"The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry has released its 2026 State of the Industry Report. There are some pretty big take aways including stances on AI and the fact that the music industry is now more profitable than ever before. We will explore the findings."
"The former head of Interscope and Geffen records Jimmie Ivine said that streaming has had its time. Spotify will see its demise soon. Whether you believe that or not, the question is what comes next. After Spotify. Many have suggest this next step in music evolution. We will tell you what Ivine said and offer up some possibilities for after Spotify."
"I found a cheeky online piece where the author was using funny put downs to describe some popular bands. Tourist Rock. Ring Tone Rap. Yallternative. So I put it to the Facebook and received a much longer list. I call then Genre Insults and we have a bunch for you."
"I ran across an article that listed three songs that people listen to only to wait for just that one section. It mentioned the drum break in the Phil Collins song In the Air Tonight. I knew exactly what it was talking about and immediately had five examples from my own collection. I put it to Facebook and now I have a slew of examples."
The final chapter of the One-Hit Wonders Trilogy is here! Why do we love One-Hit Wonders so much? Because they're just great songs! And because they don't evolve—they freeze, and that frozen quality is exactly what makes them last. Hearing these songs makes you feel like you're reconnecting with your past. One-Hit Wonders are a perfect snapshot of a moment in time - and none of us can deny that nostalgic attraction. This episode features more of the best of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s as we discuss songs from Sugar Hill Gang, Biz Markie, Lit, The Cardigans, Danzig, Onyx, Harvey Danger and more!

"Major record companies are suing SUNO and Udio over song usage to create AI tunes. The one big thing the companies are looking for is a Walled Garden, the idea that what is created on SUNO will stay on SUNO. It cannot be taken and spread around. One company has already settled but it goes much deeper than that."

"I ran across an article listing musicians who are in both the Rock and the Country Halls of Fame. There aren't many. When I started looking into it further I found that the people on the list were in multiple other Halls of Fame as well. I wanted to find out what musician is in the most Halls. There is a clear winner."

"The internet loves lists. The click bait ones often choose to list the worst of something and choose the best of it just to upset the audience for engagement. I can usually ignore these but this one really bugged me for some reason. I'll tell you the list and debunk it and offer some of mine."
"The Rockin 1000 is a project that started in Italy as gag to create a video of 1000 musicians playing Learn to Fly in order to get the Foo Fighters to come and put on a concert.

What begins as a nostalgic look at a four-year-old mesmerised by a Christmas turntable evolves into a masterclass on the evolution of hip hop and the relentless pursuit of the perfect record. Supreme recounts his pivotal teenage summers in New York, where witnessing block parties and B-boys first-hand sparked a mission to bring that burgeoning culture back to a then-untouched Seattle.The conversation captures the emotional weight of a life built on "real hip hop," moving from DIY mixers fashioned with toothpicks to international tours and deep-seated friendships with legends like Biz Markie. Supreme reflects on the transition from an "outcast" teen to a world-renowned digger, detailing the shift from 99-cent gambles to chasing rare acetates. It is a reflective journey through the philosophy of selection, the importance of community, and the simple, enduring power of soul music that makes you want to move.
"Every year I hear people complaining that the NFL makes lousy picks for the Super Bowl halftime show. If the picks are lousy then ratings must tank. But they do not. In fact the halftime show has never been better watched. We have a long list of ratings and demographics to show that the NFL seems to know what they are doing."
"We are coming into tax season so Tammy and will talk about paying the government. The HITS Act is now in full swing. Foreign governments are changing their tax codes for musicians and we also have a list of what you might not have known was tax deductible."
"In our New Year show we related an article that suggested that 3D spatial audio was going to be popular in 2026. Tammy asked for an explanation of 3D audio so here it is. We have examples of both new songs and classic music that has been remixed into a spatial audio format."

"This is our second of two year opening shows. We will cover new Public Domain availability, anniversaries for this new year and some predictions for 2026."
As a music genre, plunderphonics is somewhat misunderstood. While the genre is based on samples, much like hip-hop, it isn't just music made from other music. It utilizes samples to push the boundaries of copyright -- what is fair use, what is public domain, who truly owns a piece of music? Matthew Blackwell's new book for 33 1/3's GENRE series, Plunderphonics, traces the genre back to the quote-heavy compositions of early 20th Century composer Charles Ives and follows it up through the mash-up madness of Danger Mouse and Girl Talk. Along the way, Blackwell looks at the recordings and legal battles of diverse artists like Bay Area pranksters Negativland, comedy pioneers Buchanan and Goodman, hip-hop legends De La Soul, Biz Markie, and Beastie Boys, Aussie art-poppers The Avalanches, and avant-garde theorist (and coiner of the term Plunderphonics) John Oswald. Bookseller and writer Justin Remer talks with Blackwell about all these artists and more of the tidbits contained in his new book. Hosted and produced by Justin Remer. Recorded remotely via Zencastr.

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticJoin The Normandy For Additional Bonus Audio And Visual Content For All Things Nme+! Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KIn this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz delivers a data-driven analysis of rap's historic absence from Billboard Hot 100's Top 40 for the first time since February 1990. On the week of October 25, 2025, no rap tracks cracked the upper echelon, ending a 35-year streak sparked by Biz Markie's "Just a Friend." Analytic Dreamz breaks down key stats: highest rap entry at #44 (YoungBoy Never Broke Again's "Shot Callin"), #48 (Cardi B feat. Kehlani's "Safe"), and #49 (BigXthaPlug feat. Ella Langley's "Hell at Night"). Kendrick Lamar & SZA's "Luther" fell off after 46 weeks (13 at #1), triggered by Billboard's October 2025 recurrent rule changes—removing songs below #25 after 26 weeks (vs. old 25-week threshold below #10). Hip-hop's U.S. market share dropped from 30% peak in 2020 to 24% YTD 2025 per Luminate. Analytic Dreamz examines competition: Taylor Swift's album occupies 12 Top 40 spots, K-pop soundtracks claim 7. Additional factors include streaming biases, artist dormancy (Drake, Kendrick), legal issues, and genre fragmentation. As of November 1, the drought hits two weeks, with "Shot Callin" at #43. Analytic Dreamz explores cultural reactions and whether this signals rap's cyclical shift amid pop dominance.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
