I'll be on BBC Radio 4 @R4WorldTonight this evening, talking with @BBCJamieCoo about @Adele's (non) plagiarism of a Brazilian artist's melody. Live from 10pm UK time. (Spoiler - it's a coincidence!)
@gordonsmart@bbc5live@1AaronPaul@tonylivesey It’s been an absolute pleasure @gordonsmart meeting you every week and sharing so much music with each other and with the @bbc5live listeners. Thank you for your warmth, your generosity, and your sense of fun; here’s hoping we can get together somehow, some way in the future!
In 2007 the Rubinoos sued Avril Lavigne, alleging that “Girlfriend” copied from “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend” (1979). As featured on The Gordon Smart show, BBC Radio 5 Live, Nov 11, 2024. Mashup: Joe Bennett / Rafi Waters https://t.co/yX0DH95lVb

@paulybengali great show last week! Pop trivia erratum for your audience member; Chas n Dave “sample” on the Eminem track is a re-recording, so sadly, we don’t hear them on the record. #forensicmusicology

A very enjoyable show with @gordonsmart this week. My only regret is that I didn't get to Jeff Beck's extraordinary live performance in time. Also Green Day, Maroon 5 and Ralph McTell jamming Pachelbel's Canon in D. https://t.co/5h7lH31vI4 #popmusicology#stratocaster
In tonight's show - 4 Non Blondes v Bobby McFerrin. Just a I-ii-IV-I chord loop. Nothing to see here. https://t.co/vRMy7TaBaY #popmusicology#mashup@gordonsmart@bbc5live
Getting set up to enjoy more great music with @gordonsmart this evening on @bbc5live. Where else can you hear Pantera and Etta James on the same playlist? #popmusicology https://t.co/A2UM2GRswd
With @gordonsmart, talking about 'no intro' songs: Beach Boys, Elvis Costello, Beatles, Hall & Oates, Green Day, and Arlo Parks. Only @oasis refused my Fair Use YouTube argument - tho to be fair it was in a section on #copyright! Listen @ 34:15 https://t.co/B6Mo3WrHzl
