Morning Music Notes – The World Cup Starts, Who Cares About Music?

I would love to say this is a special World Cup edition of Morning Music Notes, but it is not. I will be on vacation in Brazil for 3 weeks starting tomorrow, so I will have trusty posters Rich and Millar throwing up some videos for your enjoyment. I’ll hit you with one last video before I go.

Hundred Waters just dropped new album The Moon Rang Like a Bell. From that collection of songs, we get a video for the interesting track Murmur. We have an odd video for the unique song, a song which blends piano with some upbeat parts and weird effects. But it’s good. Watch it below.

Morning Music Notes

Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys is working with Lana Del Rey, Zooey Deschanel, and Frank Ocean on his new album. Fans have NOT responded positively, which prompted a response on his Facebook page.

Beastie Boys look poised to win their third lawsuit in the last little while. This time, they are defending a sample from Paul’s Boutique, and it looks like they had permission after all. Hat trick! (via Hollywood Reporter)

Kanye West has reportedly dropped Jay Z’s name from some of his raps. All because he didn’t show up to his wedding? Or are fans and bloggers just gossiping? (via NME)
