"....a representative from Disney has said: "As soon as we became aware there could be an issue, we pulled it from our shelves and our online store to review the situation further."
The wave pattern of the album artwork has been adapted to feature the silhouette of Disney's biggest star Mickey Mouse. A line on the website originally gave a nod towards the band stating “Inspired by the iconic sleeve of Joy Division's 'Unknown Pleasures' album, this Waves Mickey Mouse Tee incorporates Mickey's image within the graphic of the pulse of a star. That's appropriate given few stars have made bigger waves than Mickey!” however this has now been removed." Thanks to Pitchfork!
"Etta James, who has died at the age of of 73, had a rich, contralto voice that breathed life into a host of musical genres, from blues to jazz, R&B to soul.
Many top performers cited her as a huge influence on their careers, but she had to wait 40 years before winning major recognition from the music industry.
She began singing in the 1950s, battled substance abuse for the best part of a decade, then bounced back to win a string of awards and bring her music to a new audience." From BBC
"Mos Def has changed his name to Yasiin Bey and released a 'reinterpretation' of the Watch The Throne track 'Niggas In Paris'. In September last year, Mos Def announced that he would retire his moniker and release music under the name of Yasiin Bey. He said to MTV: 'Mos Def is a name that I built and cultivated over the years, it's a name that the streets taught me, a figure of speech that was given to me by the culture and by my environment, and I feel I've done quite a bit with that name and it's time to expand and move on. Also, I didn't want to have to deal with having any moniker or separation between the self that I see and know myself as.'
Now his first new music has emerged online (still listed by sites as belonging to Mos Def). It's a pretty snarky re-imagining of Jay-Z and Kanye West's sinister Watch The Throne track 'Niggas In Paris'. Re-titled 'Niggas In Poorest', he raps about abject poverty using the beats that previously accompanied Jay and Ye's boasts of fashion, fame and limitless cash."
