The clarity and dynamic range of the remastered 18 songs alone, get me excited. I compared the crummy previews against my Sony/CBS disk - it's an amazing upgrade.
Not to mention 10 more or less new tracks on CD 2.....can't wait to have this in my hands.

New Rolling Stones song cracks the top ten

April 21, 2010



'Plundered My Soul', the long-buried Rolling Stones song left over from the band’s 'Exile On Main Street' sessions, has been released the “lead single” from the forthcoming 'Exile' re-release, which will include several additional unreleased tracks from the 'Exile' era. The song, which has been available for $1.29 in iTunes since yesterday, is currently in the number seven spot on the iTunes rock singles chart, behind song from artists like The Script, OneRepublic, and Daughtry.

Our critical assessment of the song is that it’s the best “new” material the Stones have released in more than a decade – and the impressive early charting of the single suggests that the 'Exile' re-release (coming May 18th) may also fare better in terms of sales than some of the band’s recent album releases, which haven’t sold in huge quantities despite continued massive worldwide demand for the Stones as a live touring act.

Dunno.

It's currently #1 in Greece, The Netherlands, Spain and Sweden.
People are buying it...

Fuck you and you and you and you and you.

That night was a blur as some brain cells are lost forever from EVL. But being worried about my friend I had to make the call. Another 3 months and I think Nanky will have all the music down on the Nanky Mobil Unit. Then it's time for the lics. The basement was like bingo at the fire hall you could cut the smoke with a knife, perfect setting. One track has been named, Cobweb Blues. The cut outs made the band come alive. Although all Wymann wanted to do is fuck all night, he was so wasted he did not even realize there were no under age girls there. He made due with Micks mouth. Anyway back to the music. Nanky was on fire and all I could offer was back up and support with lics. We were suck at one point and finally the lycrics came through on one track, Who brings ya scrammbled eggs when ya ain"t got none................
The Paris Hilton bathroom dub may work, but we need more beer to work that out. I finally figured out why I was barking, got my dick stuck in the zipper. But that will be a future cover.
You did get the drums but when the beer delievery man came we had no cash so we bartered for beer, like bowling for dollars. I have to take a break this weekend as I am going to see my son at school. I will bring the jump suit back as I thought it would give me an edge with the college girls, wink wink. When I left that morning I was wondering why the lady at Arby's was looking at me funny. I will bring the country sound to the table upon my return as I pulled out Dad's old 8 tracks, Johnny Cash, Charlie pride and Conway Twitty. Cross it with a little Sid Viciuos and we will have a few great tracks. Why did we keep singing I will smear you like a used tampon? I still don't know why I had to play the wash board naked. Was it Cob Web Blues or Millwood Blues? Cob Wood? Web Mill? No more guns when we go to town. Just trouble.

you only get postin like this shit here.

Has been for him since "She's the Boss".....no?

right on Tex.

Hey RS chick 72........wanna giggle.................. maybe you should join us for a weeks worth of sessions. Bring underware.

...DAY 6…..

Yesterday, Administrative Assistants’ Day (formerly Secretaries’ Day), brought the recording sessions at Nankotte to halt.  Not only did I have to take my secretary and a few other assistants to Uncle Morty’s for lunch, but the dampness of the basement left the cardboard cutouts of the Stones kind of soggy and slumped and everyone clearly needed a break from the pressure of recording.

Besides, the missing jumpsuit was causing me some anxiety, so I stayed home from work again to look for it.  I put on Plundered and checked all around the place but no dice…it had just disappeared along with TomL.  The good news was that in looking for the jumpsuit, I stumbled upon a beautiful 2 inch disk of hash that I forgot about.  Had a couple of hits of that for breakfast, along with a Jameson’s and watched the Plundered video again in its enhanced form.  And I listened to the Amazon clips of the new tunes in their enhanced form.  And the All Down the Line alternate.  And the cover of the Stones in Exile DVD.  Well, the new Stones stuff mixed with the potent hash high, and my head swam in circles….pretty circles with lots of bluebirds chirping around me.  And daisies.

I must have nodded off because the next thing I remember, TomL calls about 10am and tells me what happened.  Apparently, we had to barter the jumpsuit with the beer delivery guy.  Fortunately, I know the guy – his name is Ferrito but everyone calls him “Frito” – I tracked him down and gave him $50 for the jumpsuit back.  He said he never tried it on, but I think he was lying - I could see sadness in his eyes.

Lunch - I raced over to Uncle Morty’s to meet everyone at noon.
We got to our table, ordered drinks, and made some small talk.
My secretary complimented me on my jumpsuit!
I have to admit, I was struck with a sudden sense of horror – like when your teacher asks for your homework and you didn’t even know there was any!  

I was wearing the jumpsuit at Uncle Morty’s!  
Howe could I have thought this was even remotely acceptable?  
Had the narcotic of the new Stones material so infected my mind that I was losing my grip on reality?  
Was I already too far into the Stonesian quicksand?

Trying not to look flustered, I explained that Uncle Morty’s actually prefers jumpsuits over other forms of rock icon clothing, finished my lunch, thanked everyone for their dedication and efforts, and told my secretary that I was not feeling well and would not be going to work.

I headed home, all the while looking down at the unfinished jumpsuit in amazement.
I got back home, a bit angry with myself for losing such control.
Went downstairs, put on Plundered and told the rest of the band that we needed to do better – we needed to have that same energy and emotion as Plundered.  
The guys knew I was right.
We agreed to redouble our efforts on Thursday.

Meanwhile, I went upstairs had a few Colt 45s and finished the jumpsuit.  It wasn’t far off, but it needed a few more rhinestones.  When I was done, I put it on and did a little Jagger chicken dance in the sewing room.  Perfect fits call for celebrations!  Popped a bottle of champagne, had a little more of the hash, and put on some of the ’73 tour Australian shows.  

Around 6 pm, TomL called again.  He told me more about how we had gotten all ripped up Tuesday, did some percussion work, and that I decided we needed a drum set if this session was to even get off the ground.  
We apparently grabbed some guns, drove out to Fairfax, hit a few bars along the way, and ended up at Guitar Center.  I wanted a Gretsch set with the round badge (which, to those who collect them, is important).  
The Guitar Center guys laughed and said they did not have one, so we settled for something quick, easy and cheap – fitting for Nankotte.  

After we hung up, sitting in my kitchen in my jumpsuit, the sound of Plundered playing in the background, I had a sudden moment of clarity.  
I realized that I had been possessed by something not of this world.  
A Stonesian world.  
A Stonesian underworld, that lashed out with Exile-era fangs that sunk deep into my soul, slowly releasing its sweet rock and roll venom.  

I realized I needed help.  
Serious help!  
Help setting up the amps differently…I ran downstairs and woke the cardboard guys up….I had a plan…..

"And Nanky.......  

you missed your calling!"

You got THAT right, Meg.

Nankotte???? Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!

It's like a Stonesian revival has occurred at RO. I"m loving it.

LJ.

Have "the charts" been adjusted in any way to reflect downloading????

I just received this very deranged email from TomL, with instructions to please post on RO. I feel like Alice in Nankotte.

______________________________________________
Nanky please keep Nankotte safe this weekend as I will be at Radford trying to get us a fresh supply of soiled panties. Please watch the Jungle Book (cartoon version) I think the sound for the one track is at our finger tips. The part where Balou dances with King Louie. Hobble de gee with a big banana. We gotta get that grass skirt. I have the jump suit, it was the drums that we bartered, it's ok though never can have enough jump suits. I keep having night mares about Betty Boop sitting at the bar. If it is nice this weekend take the cut out Keith out by the pool, it may give you that reggae sound you've been looking for. No climbing trees though. Lock Wyman up for awhile he's a bad boy. No more Jewish pickles for Charlie. Use the trash cans in lue of the drum kit. If you play your cards right and drink enough it will be next Tuesday and you won't even realize it. But it will bring you closer to the making of Exile In Nankotte. I think I got a title for the one track. Cocks off. Mommy do I have to wear that blonde wig again. If you go to the mall this weekend get ruby red lipstick. See you in 4 days


In my absence there is a guy I've met a few times in Mexico city you
should bring up for the weekend, MF has a shoe phone.
