Lou Koller of Sick Of It All posts update on cancer battle

Earlier this year Sick Of It All shared that he had been diagnosed with cancer. The band has posted an update video from him on their Instagram page. In the video he says, Hey, everybody. It’s Lou. I’m here in my recovery room. Hope you’re all doing good. Give you a little update. The first week of chemo was almost two weeks ago. It’s like a week and a half since I had it. And the first three days were brutal. Not fun at all. It got gradually better, and now I feel more like myself. I feel really good this past weekend and today. Luckily, nothing, no complications. And the second round starts this weekend coming up. Hopefully won’t be as bad, but who knows? Anyway, I will keep you updated a lot more often, but it’s kind of hard for me to come on here for my vanity because I can’t dye my hair, my beard. I feel like I look like shit. But thank you all for your support, thank you for your continued support, emotionally, financially, whatever. You don’t know how much this is helping me. And please look out for the guys in the band, and take care of each other. Thank you. You can see the video in full below. We wish Lou a speedy recovery.

todays4cast aspires to create from past ‘Ashes’ on serene new EP

<p>The opening track of Ashes, the new project from todays4cast, has a lumbering quality to it. Titled “One More Time,” the song seems to mosey through instrumental hip-hop, simulating a dogged march. “For only 7 songs, this was a hard record to make,” the Boston producer reflects on Instagram. And when you remember that the EP was originally due out earlier this summer, the encumbered pacing suddenly feels like an wordless metaphor for the creative process. But the new offering […]</p>

Mic’d Up: Kenice Mobley, Whale City Comedy Festival, Greg Stone, Sean Patton

<p>Editor’s Note: As the summer wears on, and the earth continues to melt a little more each day, it’s becoming abundantly clear that the best place to be is indoors – like comedy clubs and theaters. The good news here is that comedy is still coursing through the veins of The Commonwealth even as the temperature rises and the humidity keeps things soupy, so you have plenty to do while also evading the heat. With homegrown talent, national headliners, and open […]</p>

Mickey Leigh sues Linda Ramone for violating Ramones IP

The battle between Ramones stake holders continues. Over the past few years, the relationship between Mickey Leigh (Joey's brother) and Linda Ramone (Johnny's wife) has been rocky at the very best. In 2022, Mickey Leigh sold Joey Ramone's share of Ramones and joey solo publishing for $10 million to a publishing conglomerate. Following that, Linda sued Mickey over Mickey's Ramone-centric film which was set to star Pete Davidson as Joey. That matter is still outstanding. Well, the battle is getting hotter. On Friday, Mickey sued Linda for violating various Ramones Intellectual Property. The complaint was filed in a Manhattan Federal court and chiefly alleges that Linda is violating trademarks and agreements held by RPI (the entity that manages Ramones I.P. and is own equally between Linda and Mickey). Generally, the complaint states that Linda only started calling herself "Linda Ramone" after johnny's passing and by using this name, she is violating the agreements set in place for RPI which detail how the RAMONES trademark may be used. As part of the complaint, Leigh states: "Ms. Cummings-Ramone has made and continues to make blatant attempts to exploit and personally capitalize on and benefit from the name, goodwill and legacy of the Ramones — that is, to try to push the false narrative that she is the heiress to … the Ramones’ legacy,” Leigh’s lawyers write. “She most certainly is not. She is nothing more than a blatant self-promoter and an infringer.[…] Ms. Cummings-Ramone presents herself to the world as ‘Linda Ramone’ and unilaterally adopts the mantle of designated Ramones spokesperson and ‘keeper of the legacy’. She intentionally gives the false impression that she is empowered to take the lead on, or unilaterally pursue, Ramones business.” We'll keep you updated.
