In this episode of Ruled by Reason, AAI President Randy Stutz sits down with Professor Darren Bush of the University of Houston Law Center to discuss the Antitrust Penalties and Procedures Act of 1974, better known as the Tunney Act, and its role in promoting transparency and judicial scrutiny of DOJ antitrust settlements. Federal antitrust enforcement today relies heavily on negotiated settlements rather than litigation. While settlements can conserve public resources, shorten the duration of anticompetitive conduct, and provide relief without the costs and delay of trial, they also raise important transparency concerns because negotiations occur behind closed doors and affected members of the public are not at the table. The Tunney Act was designed in part to address those concerns by requiring public disclosure, an opportunity for public comment, and judicial review of DOJ consent decrees under a public-interest standard. Stutz and Bush discuss the origins of the Tunney Act and the political controversy surrounding the ITT settlement that helped spur its enactment (5:50); the Act's disclosure and public-comment requirements (7:40); and the important distinction between pre-complaint consent decrees governed by the Tunney Act and settlements reached after litigation has begun and testimony has been taken (11:32). They then trace the evolution of judicial review under the Act, including the AT&T and Microsoft cases, the emergence of highly deferential review in the D.C. Circuit, and Congress's 2004 amendments aimed at strengthening meaningful judicial scrutiny (19:21). Bush explains why, in his view, courts have continued to treat many Tunney Act proceedings too deferentially notwithstanding those amendments. The conversation also turns to recent settlements that have renewed attention on the Tunney Act. Stutz and Bush examine the DOJ settlement of the HPE–Juniper merger challenge, the discovery ordered by the district court into the settlement process, concerns about political influence and remedies unrelated to competitive harm, and the court's ultimate decision to enter the decree (25:47). They also discuss the developing Tunney Act proceeding involving DOJ's settlement with Live Nation and the broader question whether courts should scrutinize not only the substance of antitrust settlements but also the integrity of the process by which they were reached. Finally, Stutz and Bush consider possible reforms, including proposals to extend Tunney Act-style review to Federal Trade Commission settlements and to clarify the respective roles of prosecutorial discretion and judicial review in evaluating government antitrust settlements (37:34).

¿Y si una parte del beneficio de una empresa dependiera de que su cliente no tenga ganas de darse de baja? Esta semana, Arturo Pina recorre un negocio bastante menos sofisticado de lo que parece: cobrar por las cosas que dejamos para mañana. Los agentes de inteligencia artificial nos sirven de punto de partida para preguntarnos cuánto hay de fidelidad y cuánto de inercia en una ventaja competitiva. De Meta y Planet Fitness pasamos a la letra pequeña de Live Nation, los incentivos de DraftKings y la factura de construir centros de datos. También hablamos de bonos y diésel; de Costco, McDonald's y Peloton; de la competencia en obesidad y de las operaciones de Endeavor, Royal Caribbean y MGM. El hilo conductor es una pregunta: ¿quién conserva el margen cuando comparar, reclamar, cancelar o negociar resulta más fácil?

A Florida man was given one simple task: take nine steps and say his ABCs during a DUI test. Easy, right? Not if you're aiming for the Dumbass News Hall of Fame. (0:00)Remember when turning 30 meant you could confidently navigate adulthood? Chaz and AJ discovered that's no longer a guarantee. Listeners called in with surprisingly basic things people should know how to do by age 30 but somehow never learned, from reading a paper map and addressing an envelope to ordering at a deli counter without looking like they're defusing a bomb. (7:38)Live Nation's Jimmy Koplik checked in with Chaz and AJ for a tour through rock history, concert chaos, and some of the wildest stories from his decades in the business. Jimmy discussed the latest buzz on a possible return of Ozzfest, looked back at the legendary first Farm Aid lineup, and recalled the time he somehow wound up in handcuffs at an AC/DC show. Things got even crazier when a conversation about rising country-rock stars Treaty Oak Revival and their beer-soaked crowds led Jimmy to tell the story of the biggest concert mess he's ever dealt with: a full-blown riot at a Rage Against the Machine and Wu-Tang Clan show. (16:19)

The global punk rock landscape would look vastly different without the bruising anthems, razor-sharp sociopolitical fury, and unwavering grit of Chicago's finest, Rise Against. For over two and a half decades, Tim McIlrath, Zach Blair, Joe Principe, and Brandon Barnes have acted as the sonic conscience of alternative music, throwing their weight behind causes that matter while sound-tracking the lives of millions. Now, the powerhouse four-piece is gearing up to cross the Pacific once again for what promises to be one of the most explosive, boundary-pushing double-bills down under has seen in years.While Aussie fans were treated to a brief, high-octane taste of the band in early 2024 when they tore through arenas opening for pop-punk royalty Blink-182, it has been nearly a decade since Rise Against commanded their own proper headline slots on our shores. The agonizing wait is finally over. Come November and December 2026, the band is returning to claim their throne, co-headlining a massive national run alongside Celtic-punk legends and longtime brothers-in-arms, the Dropkick Murphys. It is a pairing born out of mutual respect, raw sweat, and a shared philosophy that live music should be a unifying, sweat-soaked communion.From the relentless velocity of Melbourne's John Cain Arena to the open-air intensity of Brisbane, Sydney, Perth, and Gosford, this tour isn't just a victory lap; it's a necessary release. Australian crowds have always held a fiercely loyal, borderline-feral affection for Rise Against, matching McIlrath's soaring choruses and Blair's blistering fretwork note-for-note, mosh-for-mosh. With a staggering, deep-cut-heavy discography to pull from, the band is preparing to unleash the full-throttle, headline-length sets that local diehards have been starved of since 2018.Ahead of the highly anticipated summer tour, we sat down with the band's powerhouse guitarist, Zach Blair. Known for his explosive stage presence and deep-rooted passion for the global punk community, Zach opened up about the enduring bond between Rise Against and Australian audiences, the mechanics of co-headlining with a powerhouse like the Dropkick Murphys, why the heavy, fast, and unapologetic nature of punk rock is more vital now than ever before and more.General onsale tickets are available from livenation.com.au and livenation.co.nzBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

In this episode of Skip the Queue, Andy Povey is joined by Eddie Kemsley, CEO of Dreamland in Margate – one of the oldest surviving amusement park in the country, and one of the most reinvented.Dreamland dates back to 1880. It closed in 2003, and reopened in 2015 as a vintage amusement park. Since then it has become something harder to categorise: a park, a six-and-a-half-thousand capacity outdoor music venue, an indoor events space, a wedding venue and a filming location, all on sixteen acres of seafront.At the end of 2023, LN-Gaiety - the Live Nation and Gaiety Investments joint venture - took a controlling stake in the business.Eddie now leads the boutique festival side of the business, she has served on BALPPA's Management Committee and still sits on the marketing sub-committee, helping shape the association's marketing seminars.They talk about diversification as strategy rather than accident, what the events and filming side really contributes, and what the industry network gives an operator who sits beyond the usual categories.This episode is part of Skip the Queue's mini-series celebrating 90 years of BALPPA, looking at the people and businesses shaping the UK attractions industry.

La Dispute have always been a band that operates entirely on their own axis. For over two decades, the Grand Rapids, Michigan post-hardcore titans have bypassed traditional genre boundaries, instead crafting a visceral, emotionally exhausting world built on spoken-word poetry, jarring rhythms, and some of the most fiercely passionate storytelling ever committed to tape. They don't just play songs; they blood-let on stage, dragging their audiences through harrowing tales of grief, love, and the terrifying fragility of human existence.Now, the band is gearing up to cross the Pacific once again for a highly anticipated Australian tour, bringing their legendary live intensity back to a fanbase that treats their lyric sheets like sacred texts. To get the lowdown on what promises to be one of the most raw and punishing live music experiences of the year, HEAVY sat down with the mastermind himself, frontman Jordan Dreyer.If you've ever listened to a La Dispute record, you already know that Dreyer doesn't do things by halves. On stage, he is a tempest—pacing, gripping the microphone like a lifeline, and screaming with an urgency that makes you feel like the room is actively cave-in around you. Off stage, however, he is the exact antithesis: remarkably articulate, profoundly thoughtful, and disarmingly humble.In this sprawling, unfiltered chat, Jordan opens up about the band's enduring, symbiotic relationship with Australian audiences—a crowd he notes has a unique, uncompromising appreciation for heavy, emotionally transparent music. We dig deep into the physical and psychological toll of performing tracks from Wildlife and Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair night after night, exploring how he manages to find new spaces of catharsis in stories he wrote more than a decade ago without losing his mind in the process.We also chat about the sheer endurance required to front a band as sonically demanding as La Dispute, their recent album No One Was Driving the Car and how it was received, translating the aural significance of their music to the live setting, why Australia remains an essential, unmissable pilgrimage for the band and more. Strap yourselves in, heavy music fans. This is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of alternative music's most compelling and brilliant lyricists. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the one and only Jordan Dreyer.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

The fall 2024 King Diamond tour finally reached Night Demon's home market of Los Angeles, California. The guys played a highly successful gig in front of family, friends and industry contacts. From there, the tour rolled on to Las Vegas, where Overkill's involuntary travel delays wreaked havoc with Night Demon's preparations; however, the show ultimately went off without a hitch. The next night in San Diego was also stressful, in part because of unexpected issues with tour security.

Jai Al-Attas started a record label at 16, sold it to Virgin Records at 24, and never went to college. So when he moved to LA and tried to get people from a reentry program and a homeless youth org into music industry internships, the question that kept coming back — "are these people in college?" — landed personally.He didn't have a plan. He had a chip on his shoulder and $1,800 he needed for rent. He spent it on 10 Chromebooks instead.

In this episode, Logan and guest co-host Erin Leonard sit down with Shannon Werkhoven, a decade-plus event pro and venue sales manager at two iconic Live Nation venues, to talk about the one thing that separates planners who consistently book work from those who don't: personal brand. Shannon shares when she realized her own brand was actually working for her, what makes an event planner stand out from the venue side of the table, and the real difference between having a personal brand and just having a social media presence.

Wall Street Journal reporter Dave Michaels joins Bob Sirott to talk about ongoing lawsuits that involve Live Nation and Ticketmaster and where those cases currently stand. He also explains what could happen once these cases are resolved and the trend of popular artists selling batches of cheaper tickets.

Bruno Mars will headline a second Auckland show, with another concert set to take place at Eden Park on March 14. Citing 'overwhelming fan demand' for the singer's March 13 date, promoter Live Nation said presale tickets for the new show are now on sale for those who registered. Entertainment commentator Chris Schulz says the next few months are shaping up to be good for major artists, with Robbie Williams, the Foo Fighters, Olivia Dean and Dom Dolla, among others, seeing big demand among Kiwi audiences. "I don't have the stats yet, but I believe that would be record-breaking. I can't think of another summer like it." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shakira Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Shakira's past few days have been a mix of hard numbers, hard news, and heartfelt philanthropy, and they all matter for the long arc of her biography. Billboard reports that her World Cup anthem Dai Dai with Burna Boy is now spending its sixth week at number one on the Billboard Global 200 and its ninth week atop the Global Excl. U.S. chart, making it the longest running number one of 2026 on that global tally. Billboard and German chart service GfK also highlight that Dai Dai has dominated the German singles chart for eight straight weeks, underscoring one of the strongest commercial runs of her career in 2026. In parallel, outlets like Info7 in Mexico note that Shakira has been celebrating on Instagram after the song held the number one spot on Spotify's global chart for more than a month, crossing roughly 370 million streams, a reminder that even decades into her career she still commands streaming-era attention. But the most biographically significant development this week is offstage, back home in Colombia. According to Forbes and regional outlets, Shakira has returned to quake hit areas of her country and pledged a total of about 1.25 million dollars to rebuild schools destroyed by the recent earthquake, channeling the funds through her Pies Descalzos Barefoot Foundation and leveraging the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, Live Nation, and CAF to match portions of that aid. Azerbaijani news agency Azertac and other international sources quote her stressing that schools are more than buildings and that giving children stability after disaster is the priority. In a related philanthropic storyline that suddenly became news again, Colombian media such as El Colombiano, Caracol TV, and Semana have been replaying her now viral July meeting with YouTube star MrBeast at the World Cup final, where she informally proposed teaming up to build schools in Colombia. Those same reports emphasize that, as of now, there is no confirmed joint project or signed agreement, so any large scale Shakira MrBeast school initiative remains speculative rather than official. On the live front, The National in the UAE and Russian outlet Moskva 24 report fresh reshuffling of her touring map. Promoters confirm that Shakira's November date in Doha has been canceled and that the Offlimits Festival in Abu Dhabi, where she was set to appear with the Jonas Brothers, has also been called off or moved, while her November 28 concert at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt remains on for now as a unique Middle East stop. Colombian newspaper El Heraldo adds that security concerns in the broader Middle East have forced a reprogramming of her Qatar and Abu Dhabi shows, even as her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour stays very much alive. Spanish and German press note that Madrid is becoming the epicenter of this phase of her career: the temporary Shakira Stadium at the Iberdrola Music site in Villaverde is being finished to host a run of massive shows starting September 18, with multiple dates that constitute the only European stop of the tour. This Madrid residency, backed by reports from Europa Press and others, will stand out long term as a key residency moment in her touring history. There is also a quieter but symbolically important legal footnote. German language financial commentary, citing Spain's high court, reports that Shakira is due to recover around 50 million euros from the Spanish tax authorities after a ruling in her favor, a reversal that will likely be remembered as a decisive chapter in her long and very public tax battles with Spain. While full legal documentation has not yet been widely circulated in English language entertainment media, these reports describe it as a final high court decision, not mere speculation. On social media, Shakira herself has been amplifying her education work in Colombia, posting about visiting affected children and calling on fans and NGOs to join what she frames as a global education effort linked to her Dai Dai royalties and tour ticket surcharges, according to Forbes and Sony Music statements reported in Korean outlet ChosunBiz. At the same time, fan accounts on X and pop culture trackers like Pop Core have been pushing the narrative of Dai Dai as the defining global hit of 2026, reinforcing her image as both a chart force and a humanitarian. All together, these last few days cement Shakira's late career narrative: a global hitmaker whose World Cup anthem is breaking records, a stadium level touring artist building a temporary venue in Madrid bearing her name, a philanthropist turning that momentum into schools for children in disaster zones, and a long embattled tax defendant who, according to European financial press, is finally winning money back from the state rather than paying it out.

Your feed said the midterms are over. Brian Derrick says take a breath. Plus Rob Sand is the favorite to be Iowa's next governor.The Supreme Court's shadow docket order on Donald Trump's mail-in voting executive order launched a thousand dramatic headlines this week. Brian Derrick walks through what the 6-3 order actually did, which was lift one of two injunctions on standing grounds, and why the slow churn of the courts may be working in our favor before November 3. Glennis Meagher explains why the panic is still a fair feeling with ballots going out in a matter of weeks across 24 jurisdictions, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin among them. Also, Glennis looked up who cast a mail ballot in Florida's August 18 primary. It was Donald Trump.Then the numbers. Second quarter GDP growth came in at 1.5 percent, down from 2.1. New 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods took effect over the weekend and Mark Carney's government answered within days. Brian explains the death of deference, which is how a president keeps doing the exact thing the Supreme Court told him he cannot do, by citing a new law every single time.Glennis opens a new weekly corruption beat with the Wall Street Journal's reporting on Live Nation. Michael Rapino sat down with Trump in the Oval Office on February 27 to talk Kennedy Center bookings, and Trump asked why the antitrust case had not settled. Two words to a senior DOJ official, settle it, and a case built over years was resolved days into trial. Brian lays out how far the pattern now runs: four airlines controlling 70 percent of the market, three carriers controlling 98 percent of wireless, two companies controlling every pair of sunglasses you have ever owned. Plus the Joint Economic Committee report on Trump's oil and gas holdings during a war he started.Also this week for Clickbait or Double Click: the Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner meeting that content creator land could not stop talking about, CIA Director John Ratcliffe's unannounced trip to Moscow, and DHS quietly conceding that its 16,000 noncitizen voters in Nevada figure was preliminary, with only 185 confirmed so far. Then your Oath Candidate of the Week doubles as your Good Vibe Goodbye. Rob Sand is running for governor of Iowa, multiple prognosticators now have him as the favorite, and his coattails could put three Iowa House seats in play. We also take a minute for Dolly Parton.UPDATE: This episode was recorded Wednesday morning, August 26, 2026. Later that day the Kremlin confirmed Ratcliffe met with Russian intelligence counterparts in Moscow and said Vladimir Putin was briefed but did not attend.

Everybody in power announced something this week. Almost nobody showed the paperwork.Trump promised an economic D-Day against Iran, then his Treasury Secretary stood at a podium and declined to pull the trigger, saying out loud that he did not want to blow up the global financial system. Trump announced a beef deal to bring your grocery bill down, but there is no executive order, no named suppliers, and the window closes days after you vote. The Supreme Court handed him a win on mail ballots without ever ruling on whether the order is legal. Mark Zuckerberg published a manifesto about how communities benefit from data centers, and two days later, in the exact parish he named, regulators voted to keep his numbers sealed.Tonight we go looking for the paperwork.Full Follow the Money segment on the ballroom and the nuclear bunker already sitting under the White House, the Wall Street Journal reporting on Live Nation and the Kennedy Center, the Trump Organization filing trademarks on flight suits and shuttle buses, and the Taylor Farms donation timeline.

Today's Headlines: The Wall Street Journal revealed that Trump personally called a senior DOJ official to settle the antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation — days before trial, after Live Nation's CEO met with Trump at the White House to "discuss Kennedy Center bookings". Live Nation reportedly promised $10 billion in US investment in exchange for a favorable settlement so generous that most states refused to join it and kept suing, ultimately winning a jury verdict in April finding Live Nation illegally monopolizing the concert ticketing market. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to let Trump's mail-in voting restrictions move forward — not on whether they're constitutional, but on whether states had legal standing to sue — meaning DHS is now distributing citizenship lists to states and the Postal Service will only send ballots to pre-approved voters, with each state left to decide whether to comply before the Court rules on the actual merits, which is a convenient timeline heading into November. The Court also let Trump's ballroom-bunker construction continue while they decide whether it can continue. Yes, you read that right. On the immigration beat, the Trump administration is planning the largest mass visa revocation in US history, targeting up to 200,000 B1 and B2 visas held by asylum seekers issued between 2016 and 2026. And because somehow we are still at war with Iran even after “winning” several times, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent held an event threatening any country that does business with Iran with "the full reach of American power" under something called Operation Economic Outcast, without specifying any actual steps or deadlines, while Iran's trading partners apparently told them they don't really care. And finally, today is the South Carolina Senate runoff between Lindsey Graham's sister Darline — who refused to say whether she would have certified Biden's 2020 win — and Ralph Norman, with Trump's super PAC spending $800,000 on her behalf.  Resources/Articles mentioned: WSJ: The Trump Intervention That Got the DOJ Off Live Nation's Back Axios: Trump says communities that oppose data centers are "making a mistake" NBC News: Supreme Court sides with Trump on some restrictions for mail-in ballots WaPo: Supreme Court eases path for Trump's sweeping limits on mail-in balloting Time: The Supreme Court Let Trump's Ballroom Proceed—for Now.

Shakira Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Shakira has spent the past few days turning global superstardom into boots-on-the-ground activism, and it is likely to become a defining chapter in her life story. According to USA Today, she made a surprise visit to Quibdo, capital of Colombias hard-hit Choco region, just a week after a 7.4 magnitude earthquake devastated western Colombia, killing nearly 287 people and injuring thousands. During that visit, she pledged to lead the rebuilding of the Technological University of Choco and help restore education for local children, extending her long-standing work through her Barefoot Foundation Pies Descalzos. BBC News Mundo reports that Shakira committed to help reconstruct ten schools and a university in Choco, describing the region as historically abandoned and calling on governments and private donors in Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom and beyond to join the recovery push. Brazilian outlet G1 adds that she announced more than one million dollars in support and personally toured damaged schools, reinforcing her image not just as a pop icon, but as an education-focused humanitarian whose philanthropy now sits at the core of her post-divorce, post-Barcelona narrative. Financially, this mission is backed by a network of partners. Euronews and Khaleej Times note that Global Citizen and Live Nation are each committing 500,000 dollars, while the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund and the development bank CAF added further contributions, pushing total pledged resources for schools to at least 1.25 million dollars. Telanganatoday explains that Shakira also used Instagram to share images and videos from the destroyed schools and to announce that the Howard G. Buffett Foundation will work with Pies Descalzos to build ten new schools, signaling a long-term, multi-year reconstruction effort likely to feature prominently in any future biography. On the music front, DancehallMag reports that her World Cup anthem Dai Dai with Burna Boy is holding the number one spot on the Billboard Global 200 for a fifth consecutive week and leading the Global Excl U.S. chart for eight weeks, while Forbes notes the single has returned Shakira to the UK Official Physical Singles chart for the first time in more than fifteen years. This simultaneous commercial peak and humanitarian visibility cements a late-career phase defined by global influence across sport, music, and education. Regionally, The National News and other outlets say security concerns have forced the cancellation of her Abu Dhabi festival appearance, with all tickets refunded, though her tour dates in Doha and at the Pyramids of Giza remain on track. That change of plans looks like a footnote now but could mark a turning point in how major tours react to geopolitical risk. There are ongoing social media whispers about her personal life and family dynamics, especially around co-parenting and travel, but these recent days show Shakira steering the narrative back to children, schools, and a global education mission. Any reports beyond the outlets mentioned here about new romances or private disputes remain unconfirmed gossip at this time and do not yet carry biographical weight.

LiveNation's Jimmy Koplik joined Chaz and AJ with the scoop on the just-announced Willie Nelson and Neil Young show at the Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater! Jimmy also heard a great story from a listener whose son scored an A+ on a school paper thanks to Jimmy, and then took on questions from the Tribe about concerts, artists, and some of the best stories from his legendary career.

A prehistoric shark tooth found on a New Jersey beach gives us a clue about just how HUGE these ancient predators were — can you guess the size? Plus, “Whimsical Wayne” called in with some ZZ Top trivia as Chaz and AJ paid tribute to drummer Frank Beard, who passed away yesterday. (0:00)A toddler refused to buckle up, stood in their seat, and caused an entire flight to turn around and cancel — stranding everyone until the next day. So what's the appropriate punishment? Chaz and AJ's child-hating experts AJ and Ruth weigh in. (10:12)Live Nation concert legend Jimmy Koplik called in to talk about ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard's passing, the band's decision to continue their tour, and some great stories from his years working with the band. Jimmy also had more details on the just-announced Willie Nelson and Neil Young show at the Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater in Bridgeport on September 22 — including the password for tomorrow's presale! (17:22)Chaz and AJ spoke with John Mazzei, the shoeless runner who has completed SIX marathons completely barefoot! Why does he do it, how does he train, and what does running 26.2 miles with nothing between your feet and the pavement actually feel like? (27:14)It was another therapeutic session as Chaz and AJ invited the Tribe to vent about the little things that drive them absolutely INSANE — from loud mufflers and unanswered texts to sticks of butter and the way shorter men act around taller women. And somehow, AJ STILL didn't get a chance to share his own petty pet peeve… maybe next week! (33:26)Comedian TJ Miller called in while he was in town for a show and got into everything from mechanical bulls to peanut butter to why he no longer plays a booger. And, of course, TJ busted out one of his famous voices! (48:32)

Your weekly guide to the music biz and how it all works. This week, Stu and Joe wade into share prices, EU Law, and German legal judgements... NO WAIT, COME BACK! These are all actually really interesting insights into modern pop music and how it connects with the humans who make it and enjoy it (honest.)Plus, TPOM Superfans get to hear Joe and Stu go deep – some may say too deep – into minor league Welsh football clubs seeking musical sponsorship opportunities. In this week's show:Universal Music Group is worth now than it was at the start of this year, based on its share price, and Spotify wobbled too… so why are people wondering whether music may not be making as much money as it could - and what is Spotify up to with independent labels?Welsh Ardal League South East football club Cwmbran Celtic have some new shirts for sale. Why are we telling you about this? Well, they feature some bands you might know…We need to talk about ‘Rubberz'. No, not erasers and – for our American listeners – not condoms either… it's an (allegedly!!!) AI-generated song that is becoming a cross-over hit.There's a lot going on with AI-music company Suno at the moment: a big legal ruling in Germany; its latest promises about how much it supports human artistry; and a very unexpected move into… vinyl!Two things that music publications BrooklynVegan, AltPress, Goldmine and Revolver have in common: first, they're all owned by Live Nation, which many people didn't realise. And second, “nearly all” their staff have reportedly been laid off. Is this the final nail in the coffin for music journalism?LISTENER LETTERS: after last week's Lock-In look at expensive Discogs records sales, James The Joiner gets in touch about his weirdly and unfortunately mis-pressed Blur LP – so will it be worth LOADS of money or NOT MUCH AT ALL?

Who needs MTV when you can have Green Day TV?

People magazine reports that Kelly Osbourne and Sid Wilson have ended their engagement — Scott Penfold explains why this isn't new, why it isn't connected to the Slipknot situation no matter how the timing looks, and what's actually changed this week. Plus Mercyful Fate announce their first live show in over three years, headed to Leyendas Del Rock in Spain in August 2027 with King Diamond, Hank Shermann, Mike Wead, Bjarne T. Holm and Becky Baldwin — and their long-awaited album still hasn't surfaced. And a harder one to close on: Veeps and Live Nation have gutted Revolver, Alternative Press, BrooklynVegan and Goldmine, with allegations now surfacing from a former employee about workplace treatment. A word about the people who write the things you read, and what it costs when they're gone.
