After years of in-fighting and near-agreements, Pink Floyd have finally reached a deal to sell the rights to their recorded music catalog to Sony Music, according to the Financial Times.

The deal is reported to be worth around $400 million and also includes the rights to the band’s name and likenesses. That means, along with gaining full control over Pink Floyd’s music, Sony will have the crucial rights for most things Pink Floyd-related, from merch to movies.

A rep for Sony Music declined to comment. A source confirmed the...

Pink Floyd are in “advanced talks” with Sony Music to sell their back catalog for about $500 million, the Financial Times reports.

According to the Financial Times, the sale would include hits from the past 50 years like “Money,” “Wish You Were Here,” and “Another Brick in the Wall.” However, the report cautions that “there is no guarantee of an agreement this time given the past problems.”

The update comes after David Gilmour recently told Rolling Stone it would be a “dream” to sell Pink Floyd’s catalog and get out of the “mud bath” — likely referencing his contentious relationship with former bandmate Roger Waters. In just one relatively recent example of their decades-long tension, Gilmour described Waters as a “misogynistic, antisemitic, Putin apologist” in 2023.

Pink Floyd began exploring a catalog sale in 2022, but those discussions fell apart due to band in-fighting and Waters’ incendiary comments about Ukraine and Israel.

Fresh off the release of his new album Luck and Strange, David Gilmour stopped by a local pub in Brighton and Hove, UK for an open mic on Monday night and gave his first live performance since 2020.

Taking place at The Neptune Inn, the Pink Floyd guitarist and singer joined his daughter Romany Gilmour, who also contributed vocals to Luck and Strange. Romany invited her father up for a song, and David asked if they should do “Wish You Were Here” — they then performed the Pink Floyd classic together on acoustic guitars, singing in harmony as the pub’s attendees sang along.

David immortalized the moment by posting a video of the performance on Twitter, writing, “Very much enjoyed crashing @GilmourRomany’s gig at the Neptune in Hove this evening after finishing tour rehearsals…” Watch the video below.

David Gilmour isn’t kicking off his Luck and Strange world tour for another 17 days, but a handful of people at the Neptune Live Music Bar’s open-mic night in East Sussex, England, caught a little sneak preview when he joined his daughter Romany to perform an acoustic rendition of “Wish You Were Here.” “Would you like to come and upstage me?” she asks her father as he walks onto the stage. “Okay, great.”

Gilmour posted a truncated rendition of the performance on his social media accounts. “Very much enjoyed...

Quick Links Antony Starr's Journey to The Boys Antony Starr as Homelander in The Boys The Boys Fans Will Love Starr's Performance in Banshee

With the return of the hit superhero satire The Boys on June 13, 2024, Amazon Prime Video was caught in an unexpected dilemma. Although the series continued to break viewership records, drawing 55 million viewers in 39 days (via The Hollywood Reporter), the consensus among fans suggests the show has lost its magic. For instance, the show's inaugural season holds a 91% Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score, nearly 40 percentage points higher than Season 4's mediocre 53% rating.

Moreover, New Zealand star Antony Starr, who plays the amusing villain Homelander in The Boys, has recently expressed misgivings about being publicly idolized and mistaken for his evil character (via The L.A. Times). The recent backlash to The Boys Season 4 offers a perfect opportunity for fans of the show to check out Starr's underrated crime series Banshee,...

Pat Heywood, the veteran Scottish actress who made her film debut as Olivia Hussey’s nurse and confidant in Franco Zeffirelli’s adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, has died. She was 92.

Heywood died June 26, the Scottish Daily Mail reported.

During her four-decade career, Heywood portrayed the maid in the manor at the center of Freddie Francis’ horror comedy Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly (1970) and the wife of British serial killer John Christie (Richard Attenborough) in the Richard Fleischer-directed 10 Rillington Place (1971).

Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet (1968), which also starred Leonard Whiting alongside Hussey and featured narration from Laurence Olivier, was a hit at the box office as it introduced a new generation to Shakespearean tragedy. Paul McCartney, Phil Collins and Anjelica Huston had been among those considered for the top roles.

The film won Oscars for cinematography and costumes and was nominated for best picture and director, and Heywood...

As a kid, Niko Rubio remembers spending countless days pretending she was a mermaid, relaxing on the sandy beaches of her native L.A. as music by Gwen Stefani, Julieta Venegas, and Nelly Furtado floated in the background. Sometimes, the sounds of the Limón y Sal accordion would be interrupted by the trumpets of the rancheras of Vicente Fernandez when her grandpa would pull up in his Dodge Ram pickup truck to take a slightly sunburnt Rubio home from the shore.

Callie and Arizona's relationship on Grey's Anatomy was full of ups and downs, spanning ten seasons of dating, breaking up, getting married, and even having a child together. Their story had a happy ending, with Callie and Arizona finally reconciling and getting married in season 7. But their relationship faced many obstacles along the way, including disagreements about having children and infidelity. After a custody battle over their daughter, Sofia, Callie eventually moved to New York, and in the season 14 finale, Arizona decided to join her to rekindle their relationship, giving their story a hopeful conclusion.

Grey's Anatomy has had many epic romances throughout its long run, including the up-and-down relationship between Callie Torres and Arizona Robbins, played by Sara Ramirez and Jessica Capshaw. The two doctors met in season 5, when Arizona's character was first introduced on the ABC medical drama television series, and the rest is history. Well, it was ten seasons of dating,...

R&b singer-songwriter Khalid will release his third studio album, Sincere, on Aug. 2 via Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records.

On Instagram, the musician called the album a “return to form,” adding, “I’m so happy to finally be back! Can’t wait to do it all over again.”

He expanded a bit more in a press statement, describing Sincere as a “combination of life experiences.”

“It takes inspiration from conversations that I have had with my fans, supporters, and the people that love me. When I listen back to this project,...

Khalid has released a new single, “Adore U,” via Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records. The lovelorn song was written by Khalid and produced by Digi and Justin Lucas.

“Adore U” follows the musician’s previously released single “Please Don’t Fall In Love With Me,” with both tracks heralding a new chapter for Khalid and his forthcoming third album, expected “soon.”

The single sees Khalid crooning about a romantic partner: “Started on two different pages/ I’m happy we made it/ You say that you’re broken/ I’m...

Copenhagen, Denmark – Markus Artved, the talented indie musician and producer from Copenhagen, has released his latest single, “Hey Dreams,” under his project, Honey Hideout. This new track comes as a prelude to Honey Hideout’s debut EP, slated for release later this year.

A Journey Through Dreams and Realities

“Hey Dreams” explores the profound and often poignant realization that life doesn’t always turn out as we’ve planned. In moments when time feels fleeting, there is beauty in surrendering to the present and embracing life’s unpredictable twists and turns. Markus Artved invites listeners into this introspective space with his newest musical offering.

“Dreams are fleeting and often impossible to recite or remember to their full extent when we wake up. On the contrary, the dreams that each of us have for the future are both infinite and everlasting, but they also change as we develop and grow. When a dream eventually comes true,...

As new music launches go, the arrival of Lil Nas X’s “J Christ” single and video earlier this month was hardly blessed. The artwork that adorned the single — Lil Nas X strapped to a cross and being hoisted up by five people, an apocalyptic sky behind them — led to a predictable uproar from the religious front. So much so, in fact, that Lil Nas X posted a video on his socials explaining the imagery (“It was literally me saying I’m back like Jesus”) and apologizing for offending anyone with the song’s accompanying,...

Fall Out Boy have announced plans to honor their debut album, Take This to Your Grave, with a 20th anniversary vinyl reissue. Arriving on December 15th via Fueled by Ramen, the limited-edition repressing will feature two previously-unreleased demos. Check out the tracklist below.

Take This to Your Grave originally debuted in May 2003, and has since become an integral entry in the canon of pop-punk thanks to tracks like the Platinum-certified “Grand Theft Autumn / Where Is Your Boy.”

Now, the band is paying homage to their first full-length effort with the reissue, which will allow fans to hear two “unfinished” demos for the first time: “Colorado Song” and “Jakus Song.” The standard reissue will be available on two vinyl colors: blue jay and black ice, the latter of which is an Amazon exclusive. Additionally, there will be a 5,000-copy run of a special edition translucent blue vinyl, which will come with...

Incubus staged a full performance of their album Morning View during a special one-off concert at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday night.

A group of 200 internationally renowned writers, publishers, directors and producers have signed an open letter sounding the alarm over the implications of AI for human creativity.

“Several generative models of language and images have recently appeared in the public and private domains; they are developing at breakneck speed, accessible to all for any task which involves writing and creating,” read the letter, published online on Tuesday.

“These models are shaping a world where, little by little, creation can do without human beings, thereby hastening the automation of many creative and intellectual professions formerly deemed inaccessible to mechanization.”

The letter, initiated by European translation professionals under the banner of “Collective For Human Translation – In Flesh And Blood”, comes amid growing concern about the impact of generative AI technology on professionals working in the creative industries.

Signatories from the literary world included Nobel Prize-winning author Annie Ernaux (Happening) as well as best-selling...

You’ve seen him ripping a motorboat through the canals of Venice, Italy, during the opening heist of The Italian Job, dodging flying cars in the Fast and the Furious films, and doubling for Harrison Ford, most recently in the blockbuster Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

Pink Floyd is best known as the band whose Dark Side of the Moon broke all records as the longest charting album in rock music history. Dozens of their songs are classic rock staples, the feature length film of their rock opera The Wall is a cult classic, and their sound is as instantly recognizable as their enigmatic back story. Have You Got It Yet? The Story of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd is co-directed by Roddy Bogawa, the filmmaker behind Taken by Storm: The Art of Storm Thorgerson and Hipgnosis, and Storm Thorgerson, a Pink Floyd intimate who started the graphic arts team which illustrated the band’s most iconic album covers. But the band’s founder and guiding light, Syd Barrett, dimmed in the glare of the spotlight, leaving the group after their second album, long before they achieved the stratospheric success their later work would bring. The...

Anton Corbijn directs this enjoyable documentary about the design duo who created extraordinary images for Pink Floyd, 10cc, Led Zeppelin and more

Photographer and film-maker Anton Corbijn is the very best person to direct this very enjoyable documentary about design outfit Hipgnosis and its dynamic co-founders Aubrey “Po” Powell and Storm Thorgerson, the creative powerhouse who virtually invented the concept of the album cover as a vital artform; they worked for Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney and Wings, 10cc and others, when the vinyl rock industry was in its 70s pomp. They devised extraordinary images which were enigmatic, monolithic, audacious, funny, surreal, hip and gnomic and conceived albums as an unacknowledged multi-media experience: you gazed at the cover while the LP was on the turntable. Hipgnosis’s staggering location work in deserts and wildernesses and with flying pigs over London landmarks virtually made them pioneers of land art, the...

Barbie and Oppenheimer make a truce in a new piece of fan art as their box office battle approaches. Since it was announced that Greta Gerwig's Barbie and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer would release on the same day, the two films have entered into something of a rivalry. The two big blockbusters couldn't be more different, of course, with the former serving as an adaptation of the beloved Mattel doll and the latter chronicling the life of the famed American theoretical physicist who is largely responsible for the creation of the atomic bomb.

Now, ahead of the Barbie and Oppenheimer release date, fan art shared by Rafael Caban on Instagram imagines Margot Robbie's doll and Cillian Murphy's theoretical physicist making a truce as the box office showdown between their two films looms. Check out the fan art below:

Elisapie, a Canadian Inuk singer-songwriter, plumbs new sadness in one of Metallica’s biggest, most emotional hits on her recording, “Isumagijunnaitaungituq (The Unforgiven).” Where the metal band drew inspiration from Ennio Morricone soundtracks, Spaghetti Westerns, and family trauma for the Black Album hit, Elisapie keeps things quiet, as she sings the lyrics in the indigenous Inuktitut. The instrumentation includes banjo, traditional drums, bass saxophone, throat singing, and saw, in addition to guitar and synth.

A video for the track, which will appear on her upcoming Inuktitut album (out Sept. 15), focuses...

In the history of album cover art, only two parties have become arguably almost as famous as some of the bands they shot or designed for: Hipgnosis, in the 1970s, and Anton Corbijn, from the mid-‘80s forward. Those two forces come together with a new documentary, “Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis),” directed by Corbijn, about the era of artwork that entranced him, like most music fans, as a youth. Forty years after Hipgnosis ceased to be a going concern as we knew it, the company’s covers for Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and countless others continue to be collected in coffee-table books. And when it comes to the stories behind the sleeves, rock fans still just can’t get enough… to quote a band that Corbijn came to be associated with a little bit later.

The Boys season 3 cast and character guide helps show how special the series is. More than a year and a half after the season 2 finale, The Boys returned to Prime Video for season 3, with season 4 now on the way. The series, created by Eric Kripke and adapted from the comic book by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, picked up a year after the explosive events of season 2 and its cast was better and bigger than ever. With the Deep cast back into The Seven, The Boys season 3 saw quite the upheaval in many regards and also showcased more supes than previously seen on the show.

The Boys season 2 left the characters in precarious situations, though it seemed like things were getting better. Stormfront was no longer a threat after Ryan dispatched her with his powers. Butcher joined Grace Mallory's task force, and Hughie teamed up with Congresswoman Victoria Neuman in...

No idea was ever too much, or inconvenient, for the graphic artists Hipgnosis, whose iconic album artwork designs serve as the centerpiece for Anton Corbijn’s documentary Squaring the Circle: (The Story of Hipgnosis). In the latest trailer for the film, which premiered at Sundance earlier this year, musicians Paul McCartney, Nick Mason, Jimmy Page, and more reflect on Aubrey “Po” Powell and Storm Thorgerson’s reign and willingness to go the distance.

“Paul McCartney called me up and he said, ‘I want to put it on Everest,'” Thorgerson said in the trailer,...

Firefly Lane is a series created by Maggie Friedman starring Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke.

Well, all good things must come to an end, so, unfortunately, here we have the last episodes of the second season of this sentimental series, which mixes friendship, life and… what is left when it is over.

Firefly Lane (2022)

Perhaps too much telefilm, perhaps too sentimental, but, undoubtedly, Firefly Lane has managed to win a place among the sappiest and straight-to-the-heart film lovers.

As a critic once said, despite everything, we will miss them.

Do you know that even a broken clock strikes twice a day? This gentleman was absolutely right.

We will miss them.

Enjoy the ending.

Tears are guaranteed.

Wish You Were Here

Trying times bring Kate and Tully together as they contend with an overbearing grandma, a pesky new intern and an ex-husband in distress.

This article contains spoilers for "Yellowjackets."

After last week's episode finally gave us our first look at Lauren Ambrose as Adult Van, episode 5 of season 2 picks up right where we left off with our favorite cinephile. We're given a tour of Van's apartment and video rental store, set to the soundtrack of "What's Up?" by 4 Non Blondes because nothing screams "Lesbian!" like the sound of Linda Perry. In a surprise to absolutely no one, Van's house is a maximalist pop culture wonderscape, further proving that if I were one of the Yellowjackets, I'd be Van (a Buzzfeed quiz also confirmed this but whatever). She's got rainbow rugs, she's got an amazing race car VHS tape rewinder, and her apartment is located conveniently above her store. Some curious youngsters are fascinated by her shop.

Kourtney Kardashian Barker has become accustomed to the majority of her life being captured by the cameras, but when she and Travis Barker originally began considering their 2022 nuptials, they had no plans to record any part of it.

Invisible City (Cidade Invisível) is a series directed by Júlia Pacheco Jordão and Luis Carone. It stars Marco Pigossi, Alessandra Negrini and Jéssica Córes.

The Invisible City is a very original fantasy and thriller series that knows how to swim wonderfully between the waters of the spiritual and criminal worlds, between the supernatural and the detective genre, and it also has an original aesthetic proposal.

About the Series

A murder thriller that gets lost in local legends, in the world of spirits and magic, and then presents us with a message of environmental conservation.

Very entertaining, well handled and accomplished visual effects (CGI), achieving an attractive series on several levels and one that knows how to continue the successes of the first season in these five new episodes.

It handles the photography very well, and – without losing the fantastic “touch” – knows how to give us a good, entertaining thriller so...

What a moment to be a Miley Cyrus fan. “Flowers” is more than just a surprise comeback hit — it’s the triumph of Mileyism. It’s been 10 years since her last Number One hit, “Wrecking Ball,” at the height of her tabloid-scandal, electro-sleaze Bangerz era. But now she has finally transformed into the kind of old-school grown-up legend she’s always wanted to be. “Flowers,” the lead single from Friday’s Saturn-return post-divorce album Endless Summer Vacation, marks the culmination of her unlikely journey from Hannah Montana to world-wise adulthood.

The Broadway-bound comedy Fat Ham and Shakespeare in the Park’s Merry Wives are among this year’s recipients of the 66th Obie Awards honoring Off and Off-Off Broadway productions.

When it comes to coffee-table books that survey the great album covers of the classic rock era, there are generally two kinds: those that include a lot of the work of the 1970s design team called Hipgnosis, and those that consist entirely of Hipgnosis’ work. Virtually any rock superstar who had the cachet to ask his record company to blow hundreds of thousands of dollars on a Hipgnosis cover went for the splurge of commissioning an original piece of art that might join classic LP jackets from Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin in a renaissance of 12’x12′ photographic surrealism. Only Hipgnosis could shoot a photo of a cow against a blue sky, put it on a Floyd cover (“Atom Heart Mother”), and make it look like an act of mysterious profundity on a level with the greatest works of Magritte.

Although Hipgnosis in its prime did some non-photographically based covers...

Think of the most iconic rock album covers of all time from the 1970s: Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of The Moon and Wish You Were Here, Led Zeppelin’s Houses Of The Holy and Presence, T. Rex’s Electric Warrior, Paul McCartney & Wings’ Band On The Run, AC/DC’s Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, all of Peter Gabriel’s early albums, etc.

Continue reading ‘Squaring The Circle’ Review: Anton Corbijn Tells The Story Of Hipgnosis, Rock Album Cover Design Legends [Telluride] at The Playlist.

Lately, there’s been a curious strain of kneejerk revulsion expressed toward musical biopics such as “Elvis” for repeating tropes identified in “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story,” as if all popular genres don’t have repeated tropes. What’s funny is that there’s never really been the same reaction toward music documentaries in the 40 years since “This Is Spinal Tap.” Especially since that’s a much better movie. But why should there be? Just like pop and rock music depend on repetition (and the anticipation of repetition) for satisfaction and emotional release, music films, narrative or documentary, return to the same hallmarks over and over again.

“Squaring the Circle,” Anton Corbijn’s feature documentary debut, falls into this tradition too. This slightly overlong look at Hipgnosis, the London-based graphic design startup that designed some of the most striking, and important, album covers from 1968 to 1980, retreads all the old...

“American Idol” top four finalist Casey Bishop made a bold move Sunday night, sitting down with mentor Finneas to take on Billie Eilish’s “Wish You Were Gay.” She rocked the song’s co-writer/producer, and the judges, too — yet, despite all that love, apparently not everyone wished she would stay.

“So, you’re singing my sister’s song,” Finneas said to the 16-year-old Estero, Florida native about the track. “The greatest honor as a songwriter is hearing the song covered, and Casey has got an incredible instrument,” he continued, advising the teen to sing the song as if “these are lyrics you just thought up before you started singing.”

Dressed in white, Bishop delivered an emotional version of the song that had the judges lavishing praise on the performance.

“You just crushed every aspect of that whole thing,” Luke Bryan gushed. “In my opinion it was your best; it...

“I don’t have any performing experience, really,” said “American Idol” semifinalist Casey Bishop at her audition in Ojai. “Most of the people that know that I love to sing are my friends. That’s pretty much it.” The 16-year old high school student (who was 15 when she auditioned) from Estero, Florida earned her spot on the ABC reality TV competition by singing “Live Wire” and “My Funny Valentine” for judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan. On Sunday, May 16 Bishop will compete against Chayce Beckham, Grace Kinstler and Willie Spence for a spot in the Season 19 finale.

Each artist will sing three songs on this upcoming episode including a brand new single produced just for them. Bishop’s original track is “Love Me, Leave Me” produced by the teenager herself along with Grammy winner Ian Fitchuk. The youngster will also sing the Billie Eilish hit “wish you were...

Miley Cyrus just covered one of history’s most iconic songs – The Cranberries‘ ‘Zombie’ and it's awesome.

On saturday, the 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker performed at the Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles for the virtual #SaveOurStages (#Sos) Fest to raise funds for music venues deemed vulnerable due to the coronavirus pandemic.

As part of her set, Miley Cyrus performed a rendition of the The Cranberries' hit single 'Zombie.'

She also covered The Cure‘s ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ and concluded the set with the rock version of her latest hit ‘Midnight Sky’.

Praising the singer, The Cranberries shared a link to the performance on Twitter and wrote: "We were delighted to hear of Miley Cyrus’ cover of Zombie at the Whisky a Go Go #Sosfest in LA at the weekend.

Antony Starr has certainly proven that he can do creepy with his portrayal as the murderous superhero Homelander on the Amazon Prime Video series The Boys, so it's no surprise that Lionsgate has tapped the actor to star in their upcoming thriller Cobweb.

Cleopatra Coleman (The Last Man on Earth) and child actor Woody Norman (The War of the Worlds) also star.
