"Meet Paul McCartney - is stunned that such" - Osborne said - "we had found themselves in a studio at the same time, so I tried to persuade him to play bass in a song. But he said that he can not improve the other party, which already was there. I said: "What are you serious? Yes, you simply urinate on the record, and my life will be lived not in vain. "
Hey, you, look at me
Robert De Niro looks decent in any incarnation. And he is a successful restaurateur, and his comedic roles do not spoil. Now the actor is going to try on a Role gangsta-rapper. In fact, the Italian mafioso, which one way or another associated De Niro, rap, as a rule, do not read. But the result of the experiment will depend on the text of the recitative and the organic, with whom Robert gets used to the new role.
The idea came to the actor after he began to make friends with the rapper 50 Cent. 66-year-old Oscar winner met musician while filming "Righteous Kill" in the past year. "We talked about possible cooperation" - said De Niro. "Who knows, maybe we'll do something together." To be honest, I have never had a backup plan in life. I tried to make one, then another, and each time was able to feed themselves. My children are not very impressed by my accomplishments as an actor. Sometimes they hammered into Google my name, but who knows what they say about me of their friends ... "
Perhaps a new round of his career, De Niro five children enjoy a little more. As for the viewers and listeners - are more difficult to predict. The main thing - to a rap track, the actor did not try to sing the melody of the chorus. However, in the performance of De Niro, any nonsense can become trend.
Good Santa
Bob Dylan for the first time in the past ten years, starred in his own clip. Musician, issuing in October, a Christmas album "Christmas In The Heart", proceeds from the sale of which focused on charitable objectives, appeared in a video filmed in a promotional purposes.
In it we see contrasting with a grim crowd, Dylan - in a gray top hat, the red cap with a lock of hair falling over his eyes gray-haired wig - not always know what to do with his hands, opening his mouth in front of a camera. From the clip breathes surrealism; guest commentator on YouTube range from "great" to "would be better if Bob did not do it. In any case, watch for Dylan in the not-quite typical for him the video - quite entertaining.

Not in service but in friendship
Ringo Starr has used in recording his new solo album - who do you think? - Paul McCartney. Former colleagues, not so long ago are pleasantly surprised fans joint appearance on stage, will meet on two tracks of the plate "Y Not". McCartney played on the title single, "Walk With Me" and the song "Peace Dream", which sounds bass-guitar of musician.
"I played this song for him and Paul said: "Give me the headphones." - Tells the story of recording the album Ringo - "He walked to the microphone and simply invented at the time of the party, in which he follows my vocals. That's the whole Paul McCartney, and the better the song would not be. He is a genius." Who would argue".
Starr's album will be released Jan. 12, 2010, except for McCartney, he helped write Ben Harper, and Joss Stone. Meanwhile, the plate is preparing to release, we can see how good it is when the old (and, in general, really brilliant) friends play together
Those who fell from the moon
Based in London duo We Fell to Earth - a sort of side effect of close cooperation among the major promoters of stoner Queens of the Stone Age and researchers introversion electro-rock UNKLE. While recording the album "War Stories" Richard File, long a right-hand man James Lavelle, and Wendy Rae Fowler, shone in clips of Liam Lynch on "Burn the Witch" and "Sick Sick Sick", agreed on the basis of mutual love to krautrock. "Rich picked up his guitar and began to play softly then, I picked up the bass - and now we have a song. 15 minutes later, another. And another. The rest is - history," - says Fowler.
The remaining story is as follows: in the beginning of 2008 File leaves UNKLE, to come to grips with a new project, in April 2009 the first tickets to the first concerts We Fell to Earth at London's ICA scatter completely; a few songs the duo apart from serials soundtracks (almost most powerful tool for promotion in recent years) in July comes the first album, lazy and praised as lazy quarrel critics. Praised the partners for the art of creating eerie mystical atmosphere, criticized - for its inability to maintain the desired degree of drama. And, both partly true. Stylistically Fowler and File, ideally spevshiesya with each other (literally), are somewhere between "War Stories" and "100th Window" Massive Attack. They sometimes do not have enough "bones", to the benefit of recording the album brought the musicians The Invisible. But the dark, opaque veil of sound they manage to create a seamless, without sliding while a tacky Scandinavian dream-pop.
Let her sing
Slash, former member of Guns N 'Roses, explained why Fergie from Black Eyed Peas was invited to sing in the new version of the hit "Paradise City". "As yet, not very many people have heard Fergie sing rock 'n' roll, but she sings better than most dudes I know. In her heart she is skrimer." - Wrote in his twitter musician. Doubt the sincerity of the guitarist is not necessary: YouTube is full of evidence to show how organic singer in a rock-roles. Slash does not indicate whether to include this track in his upcoming solo album, "Slash & Friends", which will be released in 2010. Above the record runs the mass of musicians, including bassist Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Grohl and Alice Cooper.

Fall Out Boy go on sabbatical
Fall Out Boy have to withdraw from the scene. Rockers do not know how long their sabbatical and will return if they are from him. "We are not ready to predict the future of Fall Out Boy», - say four team members.
The reason for this decision, oddly enough, is going wild popularity Bass player Pete Wentz . The focus of the press to his person, as well as his romance with Ashlee Simpson prevents the group do, in fact, music.
"Personally for me the main reason of personal care from the scene is the fact that my name has become a hindrance to the group. Patrick (lead singer Patrick Stump) - just a brilliant musician, and very sorry that his music written in the light of what is happening in my personal life ", - explains Wentz.
"I think the world needs a little less than Pete Wentz. Many people think that Fall Out Boy - I am. But the four of us. I feel sick when I read headlines like: "Pete Wentz: random regular poster-boy", I feel like a freak when I read it - complains rocker. - People who read the tabloids, perhaps, think that all of what I do - is go to a Starbucks coffee shop and hang in nightclubs.
Such a joyless news about Fall Out Boy came just days after the release of a greatest hits collection «Believers Never Die: Greatest Hits». According to the band, during the holidays Fall Out Boy they are going to do solo projects.

PSYCHIC TV: Videodrome
While the concerts Psychic TV is no longer accompanied by occult rituals of the "Temple of psychic youth", because of which its permanent leader Genesis P-Orridge in his time has received charges of promoting Satanism and the ability to introduce audiences to the border of the main pandrogin the planet is not lost. Farewell concert in Moscow confirmed its claim to the laurels of the heirs of garage-psychedelic generation the 60's, as well as the fact that "live" component played a major role in the history of PTV.
Previous visit the 3rd incarnation of Psychic TV in Russia took place two years ago. At that time, P-Orridge and his team exuded superhuman optimism, wildly improvised (at which point the stage was is dead, which gave the group reason to beat "Paint It, Black") and communicated a lot with the audience, parrying an appeal "Show tits!" a phrase "Show your tits!". What pains PTV3 maintain "spiritual adolescence, it was found out later. Two weeks later, the group, played the criminal negligence of promoters, effectively forcing it to tour at their own expense, will cancel the rest of the European tour. A week later at the hands of P-Orridge die from cancer, his wife, ally and the second half - Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge. After some time, Genesis will meet with the forces and write a record full of deep sorrow "Mr. Alien Brain vs. The Skinwalkers", to finalize the transition Psychic TV in the league sad psychedelic rockers.
We must pay tribute to the musicians, without costing too much pathos: the last concert did not advertise or as a "last ever" (although it was formally established), or as a presentation of the new CD-DVD. (Minutes advertising occurred only at the very end, when before going bis P-Orridge change clothes in fresh-release a T-shirt with landscape cover.) Although most of the concert was devoted to it "Mr. Alien Brain", it became apparent that most clearly and eloquently, as an oscillogram or x-ray, this or that state of Psychic TV recorded in the first place, live performances.
Group members updated about half. From the previous migrated to the current rhythm section, including new recruits was a girl-keyboardist and guitarist Jeff Bunson Berner. On replacement of Lady Jaye speech, of course, could not be. The sequence of running simultaneously with the beginning of the classic "Sermon on the Mount" "Unclean", with the last round has not changed: it is the same old screensaver with flying logos, crosses and symbols of pandroginity alternating chronicles the phase transformation couple P-Orridge above-biologic a new look. One particularly hysterically and sadly sounds corona concert piece PTV, a cover of "No Good Trying" Syd Barrett. Mantra (or, if you wish, a prayer) necessary for survival, repeated the words "I love you" in around-hippie "Papal Breakdance". Overboard remains and "Suspicious", and the story of a Hindu guru "Milk Baba", and most of the strong, time-tested repertoire of Psychic TV, but think about it no time. In accordance with the laws of psychedelics, none of the songs does not last for less than 8-10 minutes, and performed an encore cover of "Foggy Notion" The Velvet Underground is stretched almost to the hour. It is easy to understand why this song dedicated to transgender Candy Darling, a fairly well-known figure from the hangouts Andy Warhol, P-Orridge has chosen as a beautiful and compelling final point.
