--- - |- In 2008, it's easy to be snide about the Rolling Stones . "They're no longer relevant; they're only in it for the money; they're ancient; they're a joke." I read these criticisms often - usually immediately upon the Stones announcing a new album and/or tour. And after a few too many mediocre albums, sometimes I even utter similar criticisms myself. The last time I saw them, at Ma...

Though this is a bootleg re-master it is an absolutely brilliant remastering and reinterpretation of the Stones late 60's classic. The folks over at ABCKO could take a lesson from Mickboy when it comes to remastering the Stones back catalog. This is without a doubt the very best version of this disc my ears have ever heard IMHO. The songs literally come bounding out of the speakers like an abso...

The first London rock star club was the Ad Lib but by 1966 it was passe and everyone was on to the next club - The Scotch of St. James. The area of St. James has a long history as a discreet playground for the louche, moneyed, and landed and The Scotch of St. James was the ultimate in discretion - in a small yard off a side street, reached only by an easily missed driveway.Andrew Loog Oldham de...

Resting (somewhat) comfortably after the required medical cut-and-paste a few days ago. Yep, the Knife went under the knife - again. Those in the know say it went well. I hope so. For my part, I'm doing the physical therapy and watching for any anomalies. I should be more mobile in short order. To all of you at MOG who have lent your support since the unfortunate breakage, you have my eternal g...

Some artists are more than merely great. There are some artists that for a period of years, a period that is finite, consistently produced music that, it can be argued, far exceeded the work of their peers. For that brief period of time they were definitely Masters of the Form.One tongue. One set of lips. One titanic album, and the Rolling Stones had changed the course of rock and roll forever...

Yeah I am talking about smack, junk, horse, china white, chiva, H, tar, black, fix, speed-balling, dope, brown, dog, food, negra, nod, white horse, and stuff of which Dionysus' dreams are made. The little white angel that sits on your shoulder and rocks you to sleep, returning you to the soft, pillowed encasement of the womb, warm, satiated, arms jelly, thoughts fluttering, creative synapses tr...

The Rolling Stones have left EMI for a deal with the Universal Music Group, the same label behind their most recent release -- the soundtrack to the Martin Scorsese documentary Shine a Light. While EMI struggles to get into a groove under the new control of private equity firm Terra Firma, it seems the Stones were happy with the way UMG handed the soundtrack's release. It debuted at Number 11 ...

You know that rule of thumb, the one that goes -- some things are better left unsaid? Well, Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts should have taken notice of the saying when talking to BBC 6 Music about the Martin Scorsese-directed rockumentary Shine A Light, starring his band. The media have been feeding like a pack of hungry wolves on Watts' blunt review, and somewhere out there Marty Scorsese...

Caught “Shine a Light” the other night. It’s the latest concert documentary to feature what remains of the former “World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band” – the Rolling Stones. Drawn from two rather intimate shows at New York City’s Beacon Theater during the ex-British Invasion icons’ recent tour to promote their umpteenth album A Bigger Bang, the film was directed by no less than A
