Rolling Stones release a record this is actually good !

Well that was unexpected. The new Rolling Stones release Blue & Lonesome is actually really really good, When was the last time you could say that?
Recorded in three days apparently,  in the middle of trying to do something else they just got sidetracked into playing old blues stuff and ran with it.

Also one of the coolest videos for ages:

Warning may contain stuff you shouldn't try at home such as smoking in petrol stations, not wearing a seatbelt. Also may contain Kristen Stewart.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

1972

I think the new stuff just sounds like they've pressed the Generic Delta Blues preset on the Casiotone.

Not bad. Glad the lassie wasn't the same vintage as Mick and the car.

Nah, 1973 - Goats Head Soup. Tho '77's Love You Live was pretty good too

I rather like the recurd. Video is 6/10 - cool in places, naff in others. (I'm sure Aerosmith did hot girls in muscle cars better, a looooong time ago. Is Kirsten trying to rev up her image? Same agent?)

I can only achieve public shame by asking these Qs, but anyway:

What is going on with the cop in the non-standard uniform?

Is the zebra a Stones (or Twilight??) in-joke?


Oh I see - it's a Mad-Max style post-apocalypse. Again cool, but again, unoriginal!

Still can't get over the fact that Mick Jagger's bird is less than 40% of his own age  :o

I'm pretty sure it's a cover.
