Bob Dylan and Sir Paul McCartney to record new album

paul-bobBob Dylan and Sir Paul McCartney are reportedly set to delight fans this summer with a collaboration apparently in the works.

Last year the former Beatle announced that working with Dylan is one of his major ambitions, while Dylan agreed he would be open to a duet with McCartney in an interview earlier this month.

And now the superstars are set to make history – by heading into the studio together over the summer, according to the Daily Express.

A source tells the paper, “Paul has a home in California not too far from Bob’s so the idea is for the two to meet when Paul is in California over the summer.

“They’ll obviously want to work in privacy and it’s felt one of their homes will be the best bet.

“Getting these two together for any length of time is difficult schedule-wise but they both want this to work out. The music that comes out of this will be fascinating to hear.”

coachella-2009

First of all I haven’t been a real concert in over a year, which is personally disgusting. To make up for my lack of involvement with the music world it only makes sense to attend the largest concert of them all, well one of them at least. Coachella is a annual music and arts festival somewhere around Palm Springs, CA. More then the music it’s known for the last anthem to California’s Hippy lifestyle, I guess the burning man might  fall into this as well but it’s more Ravish and Dark now then anything else. Coachella still keeps that peaceful free your mind vibe that is unfortunately slowly fading from society. I have always admired people who dedicate themselves to send a message of change for the better, I mean not showering daily, wearing obnoxious clothes, and driving 600 miles in your bumper sticker plastered somewhat eco friendly car (at least in size),  is not exactly a night at the Ritz. But still awkward smell and all, modern and old hippies still live their lives happy knowing they are tossing a rock in the settled lake of post modern bureaucracy. I guess we all have our ways of flipping off the MAN, honestly I’m a little to focused on keeping my own Peace to help spread the word about world peace. So for now, I’ll just have to salute them. Hats off to people that still delve in home made tie dyes, 11 minute long songs with little lyrics, Sleeping in tents with too many un-showered people, and pilling into a way too over crowded sun soaked field just to hang out and get a glance at a band that is probably too high to sound good. See you there ;)

the X files sequal I want to believe is coming soon

x files

I don’t really want to believe that something as cool as the upcoming X-Files sequel has a title such as The X-Files: I Want to Believe, but alas it is true. At least, it is true if you believe the words of series creator and movie writer/director Chris Carter. Carter told the Associated Press today that the second go-round of Mulder and Scully would have the aforementioned title.

Commenting on the title, Carter said: “”It’s a natural title. It’s a story that involves the difficulties in mediating faith and science. `I Want to Believe.’ It really does suggest Mulder’s struggle with his faith.”

As well, the story from AP writer David Germain states that this second X-Files film will be a stand-alone, earth-bound story that will be inviting to both die hard fans and newcomers alike.

Expected date: 7/25/2008

Here is a exerpt from the director:

“It has struck me over the last several years talking to college-age kids that a lot of them really don’t know the show or haven’t seen it,” Carter said. “If you’re 20 years old now, the show started when you were 4. It was probably too scary for you or your parents wouldn’t let you watch it. So there’s a whole new audience that might have liked the show. This was made to, I would call it, satisfy everyone.”

Hardcore fans need not worry that the movie will be going back to square one, though, Carter said. The movie will be true to the spirit of the show and everything Mulder and Scully went through, he said.

“The reason we’re even making the movie is for the rabid fans, so we don’t want to insult them by having to take them back through the concept again,” Carter said.
