Michael Jackson Glove at Center of International Lawsuit Between U.S. and Equatorial Guinea

As it turns out, the four-month and ongoing trial between the Jackson family and AEG Live is not the most interesting trial involving pop star Michael Jackson currently on the market. That title would have to go to, and we are not making up this case name, "United States of America v. One White Crystal-Covered 'Bad Tour' Glove and Other Michael Jackson Memorabilia," which is now entering its 28th month.
Justin Bieber Releases Remix of Michael Jackson Track 'Slave To The Rhythm' [LISTEN]

A few people might remember when "Slave to The Rhythm" debuted in 2010 but just in case: The song, a posthumous release from Michael Jackson, got a limited release following the pop star's death.

Eazy-E of N.W.A. and Ol' Dirty Bastard of the Wu-Tang Clan to Appear at Rock The Bells Thanks to Hologram Technology

One of the highlights of this year's Rock The Bells Festival will undoubtedly be the hologram appearances of deceased hip-hop legends Ol' Dirty Bastard with the Wu-Tang Clan, and Eazy-E with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. After the appearance of Tupac Shakur with Dr. Dre at Coachella in 2012, holograms have been all the rage in hip-hop, but few realize how much work goes into recreating a deceased star. For Eazy-E and ODB, it was a family affair.

Katy Perry and 'Roar' Dominate Singles Sales Over Lady Gaga and 'Appaluse'

So when we discussed earlier this week that Katy Perry and Lady Gaga had the potential for the first week ever in which two debut singles could both sell more than 400,000 copies, we suggested that it would be Perry if anyone who would prevent the pair from hitting the sales goal. It looks like Gaga is "struggling" more.
Pete Townshend Defends The Who Against Bloodthirsty One Direction Fans After Web Rumor Goes Awry

The Who guitarist and de facto bandleader Pete Townshend was forced to scramble and give the true story before hordes of angry One Direction fans could tear him limb from limb regarding internet rumors. Somehow it was reported that The Who was moving to have One Direction's "Best Song Ever" removed from YouTube because a three-chord sequence sounded too much like Townshend's "Baba O'Reilly."

Bruce Springsteen Announces More Australian Tour Dates for 2014

Americans often take for granted how often we get great music tours passing through. Fans in other parts of the world only get the chance to see their favorite bands once every couple of years, if that. So Bruce Springsteen fans down under should consider themselves blessed that the The Boss and the E Street Band are making a second trip to Australia, less than a year after the group's previous foray. Springsteen says that continent's earned them however.
Grimes Irritates Ibiza With Playlist Including Taylor Swift, Mariah Carey and Daddy Yankee

Ibiza is renowned as perhaps the world capitol for electronic music, so that's a heck of a place for Grimes to make her debut as a disc jockey. The Vancouver-based musician has plenty of experience with electronic elements, including her acclaimed 2012 album "Visions," so fans probably something equally as dream pop/darkwave. That's not what they got.
Muse Hints At 20th Anniversary Tour For 2014, Live Tokyo Concert Release Coming

Most people realized that Muse existed when the space/alt/prog band released its "The Resistance" in 2009. So it will come as quite the surprise when vocalist/guitarist Matt Bellamy hinted that the band would be partaking in a 20th anniversary tour during 2014.

Justin Bieber Breaks Make-A-Wish Foundation's Mark For Wishes Granted by Recording Artist

Justin Bieber's been getting hit with negative publicity all over the place, stretching from his role in a Hamptons nightclub brawl to spraying a photo of Bill Clinton with cleaning detergent. But let's step back and give Bieber some props for a milestone few realized he was nearing: The most active recording artist ever with the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
Joy Division Fan? Sound Engineer Puts Rumored Original "Unknown Pleasures" Master Tape Up For Sale

If you keep to the new world methods of listening to music, mp3s and CDs and whatnot, you might not realize what amounts some are willing to pay for out-of-print vinyl records, cassette tapes and 8-tracks. It's a lot. If the recordings are by a cult band like Joy Division, that only amplifies how much people are willing to pay just to own what's become a form of memorabilia. Considering all these facts, Julia Adamson, a sound engineer and head of Invisible Girl Records, may have a lot of money on her hands.
Jay Z and The Doors' John Densmore Were Pen Pals of Sorts

When you think of unlikely people relating on an intimate level about music, hopefully you think about Jay Z and The Doors, because that's what we thought about. Crazily enough, Doors drummer John Densmore revealed that he and Hov shared letters during the early part of the new millennium.
The Civil Wars Top Billboard Album Sales Chart, But Robin Thicke Still Dominates Singles Chart With 'Blurred Lines'

Based on the content of the album "The Civil Wars" and what we've read in the press, we would guess that The Civil Wars are not the happiest of people at the moment. Hopefully the first-week album sales of the album will help them feel at least a little bit better.
Pusha T Featured in New Track From Brother and Clipse Member No Malice

The forthcoming solo debut from rapper Pusha T, "My Name Is My Name," isn't enough for rap fans to forget how great Pusha was when he recorded as Clipse with his brother, No Malice. No Malice had a spiritual conversion following the release of the duo's last album, "'Til The Casket Drops," and Jesus didn't quite mesh with the hustler narratives weaved by Clipse. Pusha went to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label and Malice began pursuing his own solo project, an album titled "Hear Ye Him." The first track from that record, "Shame On The Devil" was shared on Funkmaster Flex's website Wednesday.

It's the latter that may become more of a headache for Brown now.
Burzum's Varg Vikernes Freed After Alleged Terrorist Plot, Crowd-Sourcing to Get Guns Back

Varg Vikernes, the former vocalist of black metal band Burzum, should probably consider himself lucky that he was freed after being arrested in France under charges that he was organizing a "massacre." However, Vikernes is incensed that the state froze his bank account and took away all of his weapons. He plans on suing to defend his rights.

Lady Gaga and Katy Perry Can Shoot For Download Records With "Applause" and "Roar" Respectively

Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are cool with each other, as evidenced by the former's friendly tweet shout out regarding album leaks. However, now that Gaga was forced to move her single "Applause" up to release on Tuesday, versus Perry's new "Roar" single, you can bet there will be some competition. The analysts at Billboard think that it may mark a new high for multiple debut downloads.
Michael Jackson Lawsuit: Pop Star Died Nearly $500 Million in Debt, Accountant Reports

One of the contentious issues at the lawsuit between the Jackson family and AEG Live has been how much money Michael Jackson would have theoretically made if he hadn't died in 2009. An expert for the Jackson's testified that the pop star could have made $1.6 billion in just a few years, but another expert for the defense valued his potential earnings much lower. It may be a moot point however, as an accountant Monday that Michael was in state of crippling debt when he passed.
