i think we need a Paulie thread, he is by far the mosty busy member of the Beatles Paul McCartney is to play London's Roundhouse next month - as part of the line-up for BBC Electric Proms 2007. The Beatles legend will play the Camden venue on October 25. This will be the second time this year McCartney has played an intimate venue in Camden. He previously played at the Electric Ballroom in June - the week before his new solo album 'Memory Almost Full' was released. Festival Director Lorna Clarke says: "It is a real coup to have a true legend and one of the world's most creative artists performing for us at the festival. "We are delighted that he has embraced the spirit of what the Electric Proms are all about - creating new moments in music - I can't wait to hear what he has come up with." Kaiser Chiefs, Sigor Ros, Mark Ronson and Lily Allen are also set to appear at the even, now in its second year. Tickets will be onsale from noon on September 12. For for more details about the Electric Proms and to buy tickets click here for www.bbc.co.uk/electricproms. |

michelle phillips figures heavily in a great book i read during the summer: easy riders, raging bulls by peter biskind. everyone wanted to get into her pants between 68 and 74 (and many did). anyone interested in the new american cinema from easy rider to when it all went wrong should get hold of this book. the gossip is truly breathtaking and the guy nails it every time with his critical judgments. 4 manho stars.
another book i read which is of interest to cripes (and possibly one or two others here) is hamburg: the cradle of british rock by alan clayson.
it's a cheaply produced, badly written bit of shite but it does come up with lots of interesting info about all the obscure bands who played hamburg from the late 50s to the mid 60s. worth spending $3 on from ebay.

Easy Riders, Raging Bulls is a lot of fun to read, though more for the gossip than the critical evaluations. There are some truly great stories in it and, as far as I know, most of them are true.
About Michelle Phillips, there's a great bit in the documentary Straight Shooter: The Story of the Mamas & Papas where John Phillips says the final breakup of his marriage came after "Michelle fell in love . . . No, that's too kind, fell in bed with Gene Clark of The Byrds . . ."

The new DVD does not include some of the features of the out-of-print MPI DVD. These included two newsreels, silent footage of the film set and the world premiere and a promotional radio interview.
Good! My MPI Help DVD is still collectable.

mick jagger about the song produced by john lennon in 1973 that is out now on his comp. cd
“Too Many Cooks” is that it er, it was recorded in Los Angeles and we, what, I used, I mean I still spend a lot of time in Los Angeles and [INAUDIBLE] but this is the time when John Lennon was living, I guess or spending a lot of time in Los Angeles and I spent quite a lot time with John at this point. 1973 this is, put you in the year picture. And we used to do this thing, on Sundays, we used to go to the, I don’t know to this place called the Record Planters Studio in LA. And they used to give us or apparently or whatever the time on Sunday because nobody used to work in LA on Sunday. So, they gave us the kind of the afternoon and evening and we would go and a group of musicians would go. There was Jim Keltner, who’s like a famous session… drummer, great friend of Charlie’s. Al Kooper who played on “You Can’t Always Get What you Want” and other things. Um Jack Bruce from Cream.. um, Danny Quartz my guitarist session guitarist, quite famous. Um, John Lennon, me, er Bobby Keys, who plays with us on stage. Um, Trevor Lawrence who also played, used to play with us on stage, Saxophone player um, I can’t remember any others. Um, but that’s quite a lot. so we used to go down and do this, these er, these sessions and one of the tracks that we recorded at these sessions was this “Too Many Cooks” tune. Which was done in...? I’m, I’m sure it was done in one take. You know cos then you just move on to the next thing and um… and so, that’s been kicking around on me and I’ve seen it on… that’s on You Tube and I’m sure you can get a bootleg of it and everything but. So, we decided to put that out on this one.
