Moodsis moodsis, i’m trying to write about money. We had a meeting yesterday about our future & that of the recording industry at large & we determined that thru perseverance, greed, the ultimate in sham we can begin working on a new inspirational record. We were playing QC w/ the GHOST AND MRS MUIR and everyone was there and it was a time of great joy and celebration. But what is the first step to new record
?

BEYONCE sues CLUES for the opening of “Halo”. Too similar?!!
The opening of Clues’ You Have My Eyes Now bears a striking resemblance to Beyonces’ Halo.
Reached for comment Knowles said, “More like Thieves.” Clues declined to comment.
New York Lawyer Richard Grabel will represent the “band” in defense of their “song.”
YOU DECIDE:
A) Halo by Beyonce
B) You Have My Eyes Now by Clues
So many stamps and put with bloody finger.

“In many ways the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgement. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But, the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of things… the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something… and that is in the discovery and defense of the new.
The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends.
Last night I experienced something new, an extraordinary record from an singularly unexpected source. To say that both the record and its makers have challenged my preconceptions about music, is a gross understatement– they have rocked me to my core.
In the past I have made no secret of my disdain for Clues Collective’s famous motto: “Anyone Can Play Guitar”. But I realize only now do I truly understand what they meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere.
It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now recording at Constellation, who are, in this critic’s opinion, nothing less than the finest Clues in North America.” Pitchfork Media
