Carnival of Light / 16.11.08

A never-released Beatles track just might be on the horizon for release according to Paul McCartney, the band’s once-deceased bassist.

It’s called Carnival of Light and from the description it sounds like 14 minutes of nonsense. I’m imagining an even-more-freeform Revolution 9…probably not the sort of thing to make as big a splash as Free as a Bird or Real Love did. Heck, it might even pale in comparison to You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)…if that’s possible. But it’s a one-off experiment by the most important band in history, so it should be interesting.

That’s “interesting.” Not “listenable.”

Talking 'bout my M-M-Mull of Kintyre / 16.04.06

I've just seen a trailer for a BBC ONE show called "The McCartneys versus The Fur Trade" or something similar. The McCartneys. This is a programme about Paul McCartney and his wife, and their battles against animal-based clothing. That's Paul McCartney. So, what song did they chose to use on the trailer, for the show about Paul McCartney?

Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who.

It's not as if that bloke in the show has got a huge back catalogue of well known songs, though, is it?
