Charlotte musician Bo White released a solo album entitled, Millennial Tombs, on July 6, 2014, with little warning. White posted a link to his "pay what you want" bandcamp page with the following text:
Here's a new solo album, released today, free to download or pay what you'd like. I was going to press it, but I can't wait and need to move on to other projects. This one's a little smokier than the last. If you're digging it, pass it on.

Editor's Note: First Notes is a weekly update of recent happenings in the world of music.
* Word was leaked over the weekend that a new Pink Floyd album, The Endless River, will be released this fall. The album, the band's first in 20 years, features new recordings dating as far back as 1994 and is considered the final work of the late keyboardist, Richard Wright. There are no plans for a tour, and Roger Waters is not on the album.
* A new study shows that music could be the key to good health and the solution to get people through pain. One clinical psychologist suggests that 25 minutes of music a day, 10 days in a row, can help alleviate back pain and provide for better sleep.

News Katy Perry vs. Flame
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Wed, Jul 2, 2014 at 4:38 PM
Christian rappers Flame are suing Katy Perry, claiming the pop artist's song "Dark Horse" infringes on the copyright of their song, "Joyful Noise." Flame is claiming that their song “has been irreparably tarnished by its association with the witchcraft, paganism, black magic, and Illuminati imagery evoked by the same music in ‘Dark Horse.’”
Not too long ago, people were claiming that Katy Perry's "Roar" was infringing on Sara Bareilles' "Brave."
Here's Katy Perry's "Dark Horse":

Concert Announcement International Scar Lovers set for debut performance
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Tue, Jul 1, 2014 at 3:42 PM
There's no music to be heard online yet, but if a lineup says anything about potential, this band's definitely one to keep an ear out for. International Scar Lovers will make their first on-stage appearance on Sunday, July 6, at Snug Harbor.
The group is comprised of Robert Childers (Luciferian Agenda, Overmountain Men, 2013 Wolves), Wyley Buck Boswell (Luciferian Agenda, Hectagons, Andy the Doorbum), Travis Phillips (Modern Primitives) and Phillip Gripper (Modern Primitives). Guests include Andy the Doorbum and Korey Dudley (Hectagons).
In a Facebook conversation about the show and album, Boswell said International Scar Lovers perform a mixture of original and cover songs, though "none of the covers sounds like the original, at all." The band has recorded versions of Erykah Badu's "Soldier," Desmond Dekker's "Dracula," The Slickers "Johnny Too Bad," Sean Nicholas Savage's "Darkness" and a Revolutionary War-era song titled "Katie Cruel." A debut album is planned for release later this year.
The performance is scheduled as part of Crowd Surfer Sunday, which is a free potluck hangout that includes DJs, live music and vendors. So, bring a dish and enjoy the music.
