Michael Jackson is...

....quite fond of children

....a musical genius

"Michael Jackson is demanding Santa Barbara County prosecutor Tom Sneddon immediately surrender all photos taken by police of the pop star's penis area, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Jackson and his inner circle believe Sneddon, in revenge for losing the case, may somehow leak the images of Jackson's genitalia to the public.

"Why will you not end this, Mr. Sneddon, once and for all?" a top Jackson insider asked late Tuesday. "Do you enjoy them?"

The insider claims all legal recourse will be pursued to resolve the matter.

Sneddon ordered the sex organ photographed on Christmas Eve 1993. And at trail, Sneddon asked the judge for permission to put into evidence the photos of Michael Jackson's "splotchy" penis. Permission was denied.

Sneddon was not avaliable for comment."

coincidentally these are also the names of some of his albums.

Mikaeel, understand that I am a prophet.

The next Michael Jackson single will be about how Salman Rushdie should be assassinated and deserves to burn in Hell.

Don't stop till you get enough - sharia!

The estate of Michael Jackson has agreed the biggest recording deal in history, worth more than $200m (£133m), with Sony Music, US reports say.

The deal reportedly involves 10 album projects over seven years - including one of previously unreleased material.

link? i don't get it. ten projects, only one of which is unreleased material. so are the rest just more re-packages of old material? i can't see sony paying such a high amount for that.

.....dead

Oh yeah, link, sorry : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8569481.stm

sorry if that is OLD

damn, if only that were so

haha

I like how the artist assumed that because Miami Vice was popular in 1985, guys would still be dressing like that in 15 years.

Wonder if he did an El Debarge picture?

posted on the wrong board a moment ago, but Thriller songwriter Rod Temperton dies

wrt thriller some credit owed to luixy toledo who sent this to MJ as a birthday present in 1974

more of an upgrade than a rip off

RIP Rod :(

Might'as well post this, as I tend to go back to it for ref

RIP -- went on a major Heatwave kick earlier this year, and he was a master. You could always tell a Temperton hook no matter who was singing it.

RIP :(

That looks great, thanks

this story is wild

https://www.spin.com/2018/08/sony-confesses-to-releasing-fake-michael-jackson-music/

even in death there's always something weird goin on with him

apparently it's these: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/nov/12/michael-jackson-album-fake-claims

btw this story was incredibly plausible from the beginning, Sony would absolutely fake MJ tracks given the amount of demand there was in 2010. they do this with Hendrix too don't they?

they do??? what with like velvet turner tracks?

velvert

that "Rare Hendrix" comp that came out in '72, that later had to have "[fake]" appended to most of the tracks

Was Hendrix stuff actually faked? Wasn't it mostly old pre-'66 recordings (usually with Curtis Knight) packaged to make it look like Experience-era material?

some of, like, Cry Of Love etc. had posthumous overdubs iirc?

True, up through the mid-'90s there were new overdubs on Hendrix material (e.g., the drummer for the Knack playing on First Rays of the New Rising Sun). But iirc, overdubs were identified as such at the time on the record jackets (not 100% certain about that).

Sorry, I was wrong -- Bruce Gary (Knack drummer) overdubbed drum tracks on 1995's Voodoo Soup. On one song, he replaced a Mitch Mitchell part, which is...pointless and weird.

the Hendrix stuff is also crazy. I’m still not even sure which posthumous releases of his are free and clear of hasty overdubbing. I didn’t even know The Cry Of Love had them. I knew that War Heroes, Midnight Lightning, and Crash Landing used that tactic. I actually like most of them, though. The playing from Hendrix remains ill.

How is this not fraud?

Oh lol right the Alan Douglas shit.. I thought you were talking about more recent archive stuff

I’m still not even sure which posthumous releases of his are free and clear of hasty overdubbing

afaik, First Rays of the New Rising Sun, released in 1997, is the only official studio release free of posthumous overdubs.

apparently sony didn't admit it after all? either that or they're using a trump walkback

SPIN appended a correction. Seems like it was sloppy reporting. (Sony has nothing to "walk back" if others are erroneously extrapolating from something their lawyer said in court...)

vibe technically, spin just syndicated it

afaik, First Rays of the New Rising Sun, released in 1997, is the only official studio release free of posthumous overdubs.

This is correct! The compilation was intended to be the "final word" on those sessions.

what about the Hendrix blues compilation?

i never bought any of the controversial ones from the '90s, I just remember Voodoo Soup having some especially bad lol '90s cover art.

Blues was (mostly? all?) unreleased stuff recorded between '66 and '70. No posthumous overdubs.

So I knew there was a forthcoming biopic of Jackson starring his nephew, but apparently its release is being postponed because ... a big chunk of the movie centers on defending Jackson against the child molestation allegations, and the producers didn't realize until recently that an agreement had been made as part of the settlement with the family who filed the lawsuit that they would never be dramatized on film. So now they have to reshoot the whole third act. But why did they think it was a good idea for that to be part of the movie in the first place?

Story here: https://archive.ph/NE4Tn

The family's been very aggressive about counteracting all the allegations against Jackson since that HBO documentary came out, so it wouldn't surprise me if it was always a priority to have that be part of the movie and that the only reason they're taking it out is due to unsurmountable legal reasons and the fact that they've already spent a ton of movie on it and can't afford to not release something (i.e. take a complete loss rather than recoup the costs with some kind of release).

wasn't there supposed to be like 8 more posthumous albums after Xscape? whatever happened to those?
