Ruby Tuesday to feature music of the Rolling Stones
Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, writers of last year’s Beatles-inspired musical Across the Universe, are working on a new animated film. This time, though, they’re setting their sights on the music of another legendary 60’s rock band – the Rolling Stones. The film, titled Ruby Tuesday, tells the story of a single mother searching for happiness in New York City. Clement and La Franais finished writing songs for the film well before the Writers Guild of America strike began last November, though plans to start production on the film next month have been put on hold until the writers... read more
Found in: Music, NewsRolling Stones Shine A Light, lick EMI
Sometimes, 40 Licks just isn't enough. But fear not. With a catalogue of nearly that many albums, the Rolling Stones understand. The legendary (read: "sexagenarian") rockers have prepared yet another one, this time in the form of the soundtrack to the Martin Scorsese live-performance film Shine A Light. However, the March record, their first since 2005's A Bigger Bang, isn't being put out by EMI/Virgin, the Stones' label of 16 years. Universal Music Group will take EMI's place in the Stones' hearts with a one-album deal. Of course, Mick, Keith & Co. aren't the only high-profile acts to leap from... read more
Found in: Music, NewsRolling Stones' Ron Wood releases autobiography
There’s the sultry one, the pensive one, and the scary one. But what about Ron Wood? Why doesn’t the Rolling Stones guitarist get his own demeaning, reductive adjective? The release of Ronnie: The Autobiography may change all that. Wood writes about playing in the Jeff Beck Group and the Faces as well as with the Stones, so perhaps he should be the promiscuous one? Further evidence comes in the form of stories about his dalliances with Patti Harrison (ex-wife of George) and former Canadian First Lady Margaret Trudeau. In addition to these wanton tales, the book features the drama and... read more
Found in: Music, NewsRolling Stones acquire diapered audience
If you've watched any kids' programming on TV lately, you'll realize it's infinitely more irritating than the classics we grew up watching. And unless you want High School Musical tunes permanently embedded in your skull, you should take action. Rockabye Baby!--known for its lullaby renditions of artists that define every generation--is adding a Rolling Stones album to its collection. Diapered bottoms everywhere (the infant kind) can happily bounce along to Stones-inspired glockenspiels September 11. Their roster of baby tunes already includes music from the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Tool, U2 and The Ramones. And look at that gosh darn cover! Adorbs.... read more
Found in: Music, NewsAre the Rolling Stones road-weary at last?
Could the Rolling Stones truly be calling it quits after this Saturdays gig at Londons O2 Arena, the final stop on a world tour that began in June? Fizzing out amidst mild, blogospheric hearsay based on the unnamed source of an undetermined original source? Without fanfare and double-amped ticket prices? Without any of the members actually dying on stage beforehand? Probably not, but the rumors are building up bit by bit like moss on non-rolling stone, you know, kind of how proverbial small plants might accumulate on the band if...well, you get it. Either way, somebody's going around saying the... read more
Found in: Music, NewsShine a Light stays dark until April
The long awaited Rolling Stones concert documentary by Martin Scorsese, Shine a Light, is being held back until sometime in April 2008 according to Paramount Classics, the film's distributor. The film is a composite of two concerts last year, with guest performances by Buddy Guy, Jack White, Christina Aguilera and, judging from The Last Waltz, many others. This announcement comes as a bit of a surprise, as the film was slated for a release little more than a month from now on September 21, which is a pretty late time to pull a date that's been set for ages. Paramount... read more
