“Hello everybody, this is David Bowie making a telephone call from the US of A. At this time of the year I can’t help but remember my British-ness and all the jolly British folk, so here’s to you and have yourselves a Merry little Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you very much.”

Beck in Legal Struggle Over Property Damage

Photo by Peter Hapak

TMZ reports that Beck is trapped in a legal pressure zone (haha) with actor/director Til Schweiger. Beck, who rented Schweiger's Malibu mansion from 2010 to February 2013, has filed a lawsuit over an unreturned $11,000 security deposit, with TMZ claiming on Beck's end that the damage done to the mansion upon Beck's arrival included "Mold, plumbing and electrical issues which caused further damage to everything from the fridge to the washing machine ... and even laptops." Schweiger, in return, has filed a countersuit claiming that Beck caused "substantial physical damage", which required $40,571 in repairs, and also commissioned unauthorized work to be done while staying at the mansion. He's asking for a total of $56,704.24 in damages, which includes the repairs and unpaid back rent.

Beck's new LP, Morning Phase , is out in February via Capitol. Listen to a recent non-album single, "I Won't Be Long", below.

Google Removes Rap Genius From Search Results

Rap Genius has been removed from Google's top search results as a result of the what Google sees as manipulative SEO practices. The Los Angeles Times reports that "Google took down Rap Genius after it was revealed that the lyrics website, which received $15 million in fundingfrom Andreessen Horowitz last year, was offering bloggers exposure through its social media accounts in exchange for links to its website on their music blogs." (This news follows Rap Genius' licensing agreement with Sony/ATV Music Publishing following a take down notice from the National Music Publishers' Association this past November.)

Responding to Google's action, the lyrics website has published an "Open Letter to Google About Rap Genius SEO" where they explain their SEO strategy and say that they have "never bought or sold links" and "don’t tweet out weak content," but do admit that they "messed up" when it came to Google's linking policy in regards to "creating links that weren’t editorially placed or vouched for by the site’s owner on a page, otherwise known as unnatural links, can be considered a violation of our guidelines."

Rap Genius ends the letter by stating: "Rap Genius is the product of many passionate communities collaborating to create a massive, living knowledge base for the world to enjoy. We do not want to break Google’s rules, and will do whatever it takes to learn them inside out and comply with them."

But don't try to Google said letter—it won't show up.
