Tuesday Rock Roundup
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, Olivia and Dhani Harrison, and Yoko Ono were on hand yesterday as Microsoft unveiled some of the graphics and songs that will appear on The Beatles: Rock Band when it's launched on October 9th. Ringo asked Paul, "What do you think of the game?" when they briefly took the stage at LA's Galen Center to help kickoff this year's E3 computer and video game expo. McCartney replied, "I love it." Giles Martin, the son of Beatles' producer George Martin, is serving as music supervisor and creative producer for The Beatles: Rock Band. He announced the names of 10 of the 45 songs that will be included in the game -- "I Saw Her Standing There," "I Want To Hold Your Hand," "I Feel Fine," "Taxman," "Day Tripper," Back in the USSR," "I am the Walrus," "Octopus's Garden," "Here Comes the Sun" and "Get Back."
Pearl Jam have struck a deal to sell their next studio album through Target. It's the first time they're releasing an album without a label, but Target won't be the exclusive distributor of the album, which rumored to be titled Backspacer. Pearl Jam's manager, Kelly Curtis, says they've made or are close to making deals with an online retailer, a mobile partner, a gaming company and a network of indie stores. The first single is due out late next month, with album out in the fall. The new song last night on the Tonight Show was pretty solid.
George Thorogood and the Destroyers will release an album mixing new and out-of-print material on July 18th. The Dirty Dozen includes six newly recorded tracks, three previously released songs and three long out-of-print tunes, including a cover of Chuck Berry's "Hello Little Girl."
Lynyrd Skynyrd have added Rob Zombie to the list of artists they've collaborated with. The singer-horror film director wrote on his Twitter page Sunday, "Just left studio. Recorded vocals for new Lynyrd Skynyrd track called 'Floyd.' Heavy swampy track." The track is set to appear on Skynyrd's new album God and Guns, which will be out on September 29th.
