North Sea Jazz Festival: Die Leiche zuckt und zuckt
Jazz ist tot? Nicht im Geringsten. Ob in Perugia, Montreux, Nizza oder gerade in Rotterdam - die Massen strömen zu den großen Jazzfestivals wie dem North Sea Jazz. Dort zeigten sich tausend Musiker ziemlich lebendig. Und ein Stargast überraschte sogar den Veranstalter.
Dafür, dass der Jazz schon seit Jahren für tot erklärt wird, versammeln sich ziemlich viele Menschen um die Leiche. Jedes Jahr um diese Zeit finden in ganz Europa die großen Jazzfestivals statt - und egal, ob in Perugia, Montreux oder Nizza - die Massen strömen. Um den Kadaver zu bestaunen? Oder vielleicht doch, um zu sehen, dass er noch zuckt.
Am eindrucksvollsten lässt sich das wohl in den Niederlanden besichtigen. Seit 1976 findet dort immer am zweiten Juliwochenende das North Sea Jazz Festival statt, erst in Den Haag, seit sieben Jahren im Messezentrum Ahoy in Rotterdam.

Bad Lawsuit, Worse Timing: Beastie Boys Sued Over Infringing Samples On Seminal Albums
The Beastie Boys have been hit with lawsuit over four tracks, two on their landmark debut album Licensed To Ill and two from their follow-up, Paul’s Boutique.
HipHop/R&B label Tuf America filed the lawsuit against all members of the Beastie Boys on May 3, just one day before member Adam “MCA” Yauch died from cancer on May 4.
Tuf America filed the lawsuit in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The lawsuit claims that the Beastie’s illegally sampled Trouble Funk’s songs “Say What” and “Drop The Bomb.”
The group is accused of using portions of Trouble Funk’s 1982 song “Drop The Bomb” on Licensed To Ill and Paul’s Boutique.
Tuf America claims the group used portions of the song on their classic 1986 song “Hold It Now Hit It,” as well as “The New Style,” both on Licensed To Ill.

R.I.P. Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys
The Beastie Boys are one of the most important and influential hip-hop groups of all time. They were instrumental in making hip-hop a global, mainstream force. Formed in 1981 as a hardcore band, they combined punk and rap into a singular sound that grew increasingly broad over the years, encompassing a vast array of genres. Yauch, Michael Diamond (Mike D), and Adam Horovitz (Ad-Rock) released several classic albums, including their debut album Licensed to Ill in 1986, 1989's Paul's Boutique, and 1994's Ill Communication.

Gema fordert 1000 Prozent mehr Geld
Eine "Verarmung der Veranstaltungskultur" befürchtet die Bundesvereinigung der Musikveranstalter angesichts neuer und oftmals höherer Tarife der Verwertungsgesellschaft Gema.
Die Folge der steigenden Kosten ab Januar 2013 seien deutlich weniger Musikveranstaltungen, sagte Stephan Büttner, Geschäftsführer der Vereinigung. Viele Diskotheken seien bei teils extremen Steigerungen in ihrer Existenz gefährdet.
Die Gema wandte ein, dass für 60 Prozent der Musikveranstaltungen keine höheren Gebühren anfallen oder diese sogar sinken würden. Insbesondere kleinere Veranstaltungen würden profitieren. Büttner verwies hingegen darauf, dass sich für Diskotheken die Gema-Gebühr durchschnittlich um 400 bis 500 Prozent, in einigen Fällen sogar um mehr als 1000 Prozent erhöhe.
