“The Regulars, they changed their name back to The Regulars and we thought well, we could go back to The Originals but what’s the point?”

I mean, its already been said, but the issue is more the shitty optics of this than the legal minutia. It may turn out that they legally can do this, but that’s an almost completely independent question from whether or not they should.

It’s like Netflix pulling the w/ Bob and David blackface episode. It’s nominally the…

Nigel Tufnel and David St. Hubbins grew up in the same city block in London’s Squatney District, knowing each other only slightly. David played guitar in a skiffle band, the Creatures; Nigel did the same for the Lovely Lads. The two began jamming together outside tube stations, and eventually, formed their first…

While I can’t say I care about this fight between two artists when I don’t know any music of either, it seems like the singer has terrible lawyers and so does the group. Both should have seen this conflict coming. A pox on both their houses.

So, they lazily changed their name to the first thing they could think of as a kneejerk, superficially progressive gesture, found out a black soul singer has already been using said name for decades, and are now suing her. This whole pathetic saga is peak 2020!

When I was growing up and phone books with Yellow Pages were a significant way for businesses to find customers, I remember a local business (maybe a locksmith or something) calling itself “AAA Aardvark” because the five A’s put it in the first place in its section.

This could mean the difference between them selling 16 and 24 albums next year!

I offered it up already and I will even cut my fee in half, to 50 bucks. Lady Anti-Antebellum. You’re welcome.

At this point, they should go with Lady Asshole or better yet, Lazy Assholes.

I got nothing else. This shit’s beyond dumb on their part.

If Netflix had gotten the rights to seasons 1-3 years ago and it had been as popular as it seems to be right now, they probably would have bankrolled season 4 when there was still a chance of extending or doing new contracts with everyone involved. I don’t think there is any chance at this point.

I do so hope... One small nibble for man, one giant bite for man-eating kind!

Can this be a prelude to build up anticipation for a Season 4 revival?

To me it feels like chuck and Primo did the track and then Chuck was like, “Well, we need to have Flav on here to prove he’s still in the group. Flav, here’s the name of the song, record a hook in your bathroom,” which he then did, and they pasted it over the track. 

Eh, he fucked up, he knows he fucked up, and he’s been eating shit for it for decades. Time to let him off the hook. I’m willing to bet he wasn’t holding back any simmering racism while making albums with Allen Toussaint and The Roots.

Criticized, but not demonized and ostracized, which is what you normally endorse.

You don’t endorse it, but you’re willing to ignore it? Why does he get a pass? Normally you'd be all up in arms.

Well, well, look who’s a fan of someone who spouts the n-word.

Spending a little more time with that one; you can probably expect some words on it next week.
