We've written in the past about Peven Everett (or his collaborators, it's never entirely clear to me who is doing the typing) and his adventures and misadventures on the internet.
In this case, however, he has a point. Long story short: a promoter in the UK put something out for a neo-soul event "featuring the music of" about twenty of the biggest names in neo-soul, including one Peven Everett.
This is straight-out ghetto promoting and frankly you can't blame Peven (or his collaborators) for calling them out on it. Nobody books Frankie Knuckles "playing the music of" someone else. You use names like this when you're afraid your booked talent can't draw. Simple and easy.
The promoter (who appears to be this company) leaves a lulzworthy comment to the post, demanding Peven "remove this liable" (sic). Protip from your pal: it's usually not the best idea to sue people for things you can't pronounce, like libel. Here you go, Promoter Guy, let me Google that for you.
