the xx. Kevin Winter/Getty Images for Coachella. British Record label Young Turks, which has been releasing music from FKA twigs, the xx, Kamasi Washington, and more for over a decade, have changed their name to Young, according to the label s Instagram. In a statement, founder Caius Pawson explained how the label got its name from a Rod Stewart song back in 2005, originally linking its meaning to youthful rebellion.
ADVERTISEMENT We were unaware of the deeper history of the term and, specifically, that the Young Turks were a group who carried out the Armenian Genocide from 1915 onwards, Pawson s statement reads. In retrospect should have listened more carefully to other voices and acted more quickly.itâs only right that we change our name. The label s publishing arm will also adopt the change, now going by Young Songs.

Everyone who travels knows about carbon offsetting. At the end of the process of booking a flight, the airline provides a box, for a few dollars more, to offset the carbon emissions of your flight. Sometimes I check it, sometimes I don’t, but I always wondered, where does that money go? Does that small amount really offset the damage to the environment inherent in flying long distances?
