If we hopefully get some live shows next year, I think they'll definitely play Divine Intervention and In the Stars...Jealous Lover maybe at eveey other show...unfortunately they probably won't play Rough and Twisted live, unless they leave out Rambler and play that instead...would work too tbh...at lwast they should have one blues song in the set...I saw 2 shows in 2024 where they didn't do Rambler and 2 where they did and there simply was just something missing from the overall show when they didn't play it idk...

Soz. Can't see the screen, because it's sinfully sunny.

The guy saying ' 'Care for a Vespa' (and why not?) used to go out with  Lily 'Lovely LIl' James and tall as a tree, so  Anya must be.too?
Happy days

I haven't watched the offical vid to Jealous Lover a single time and neither the one for In the Stars (not the full one at least). Imo it's completely useless to let random actors dance around to the song and not have the band in the video as well. Once upon a time they used to be in the vid alongside actors which I think would be perfectly fine...

But like this I MUCH prefer the lyrics vids with the snippets from the studio...imo they could save their money for the official vids with actors and just put out those lyrics vids with studio snippets, so much more intersting

I mean what's their goal with those actor vids? Do they think that fans of these actors will suddenly all just watch the vid for the actors sake and then end up becoming Stones fans? It's a bit ridiculous tbh, if some teenagers or 20-somethings who like those actors listen to like hip hop or Taylor Swift all day long, I doubt they'd be into the Stones

One of my fave actresses is Charlize Theron and the other day she posted that she is in a new music vid by a musician I've never even heard of...I watched the sneak peek and the song sounded crappy for my taste so I didn't even bother watching the whole vid not even tho Charlize is in it...and I think it's the exact same thing with people who're into those random actors the Stones are chosing

Really love the lyrics for Divine Intervention, the social criricism of it and the portrayal of the craziness of our current times, it's brilliant...it's exactly what I've felt lacking from HD...also R&T has some call-out lines, even tho Mick claims it's about a mean girl but please... and Mr Charm even calls Musk by name...really fucking love that...I'm listening to DI on repeat rn and it gets better every time...the fact they came up with something as amazing as that in their 80s is more than just awe-inspiring

If you're on the Shidoobee group on FB, I made this poll there earlier about the fave song off of FT so far:

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1H5gJ3PZxN/

Was thinking of creating a new thread here with a poll too but we're pretty decimated here these days, aren't we...

I think all four of the songs we've heard are pretty good. Wouldn't skip any of 'em if playing the album. But man, that Mr. Charm snippet really sounds good. Gimmie that one!

Hey internet Stones fans, for their L.A. residency, let's
have a glimmer gathering at that iconic motel in the video...
I've negotiated a special rate! Pool party! We can mess and
fool around, you know, like we used to...


excerpts from first eight reviews on TripAdvisor...

Dont you dare!! Bed bug infested place. Blood stains on sheets (your
own blood) from squished bugs,we saw bed bugs crawling on pillows,
evrything is broken,owner was really rude,he'll give you a sigh
everytime you ask for something,looks decent in pictures but total
opposite in reality, just plain nightmare.

This is really by far my worst motel experience, never cleaned in 50
years. Furnitures are broken and unusable, no microwave, no
nothing!!!! Only TV. The guy who work there doesn't have any idea
about how to treat customers, is rude, impolite and really hard to
talk. If you want to cancel he will charge you with 20 USD for his
pocket, even when rooms are filth, he doesn't care, he will steal you
20 USD. Better watch out and do your homework, this motel is not
good even for an emergency, I prefer to sleep in my car.

Run-down dirtbag hotel. If the outside appearance is not enough
clue, the way you sign up for the hotel should. First you have to walk
up to a window like at a check cashing place
and the guy seeks out
of a hole to see who is there. I mentioned that I was just inquiring
about their rates for my relatives who are coming to town and he
acted like he was pissed that I bothered him to take the time to
listen to my question. They apparently are a live-in couple who
resents having to actually do something to earn their free rent.

Don't stay here whatever you do. This is horrible, looks like a snuff
film set. STAY AWAY Everything is broken and stained and looks like
it has been that way for years. Just don't get near this place. It may
sound like it is in a good place but it isn't. The place is not clean, it
will ruin your trip if you stay here. Bathrooms are disgusting. Mini
Fridge was warped and had cigarette burns. You will want to spray
yourself with disinfectant just walking in the room.


No deadbolt, safety chain, or other reinforcement. Put a chair against
it when I went to sleep. Folks, this is not the safest neighborhood in
the first place especially at night. The owner is dishonest. I gave her
a $50 bill for the $5 key deposit and she gave me change for a $20.
She made a scene when I asked for the correct change but when I
told her I would call the police she provided the difference.

Felt like I was in a movie, you know, the movies that the main
characters get raped and murdered in their sleep
. Absolute garbage.
The ceiling in the bathroom was falling down and had mold, it looked
like someone used the bathroom in the shower and spread it all
around. The bed was stained. The lamp was broken. The smoke
detector was hanging off the ceiling, doubt if it worked. There
was even a five dollar deposit for the remote to the TV that doesn't
work. There is a door that is not locked in the room that leads to
another door that is in the room next door. We stayed for about 1/2
hour. Then we decided that it would be better to sleep in our car.

I could not fall asleep... When I checked-in the clerk awsnered from
a little credit card sized peek hole before letting me enter the lobby..
There were lightning bugs flying around in the hallway as we walked
to our room... The TV channels were all either in Spanish or Thai.

The sliding door in the room went out to a baloncy which overlooked
an alley but it was kinda nice. We left the sliding door open because
the AC did nothing to cool the room but then there were sirens and
people yelling until 5am... Then we ended up oversleeping until five
minutes before check-out time... Neither of us showered. We got up,
dressed and got the hell outta there.

I'm not at all surprised by these ratings 🤣🤣 that sounds fucking dreadful...

Also this morning I woke up with the chorus of Jealous Lover stuck on my head and after that the one for Divine Interventions popped up....I cannot believe that out of 4 singles they released, 3 have a really catchy chorus (of course R&T doesn't need thst it's a blues song it only neess a great instrumental jam section which it has)

I don't know when this happened last but tbh I can imagine them playing all of these songs live really really well...it would be so much fun...tbh no wonder Mick is so fucking eager to get on stage and play these songs live, they're fucking brilliant....hope they'll do at least a Racket style show on release day, I mean they probably are looking for some more CD/record versions to release cause apparently 3618271 aren't enough yet, so why not add one with live songs? 🤪

good interview with Mick on Italian TV


I'm usually at least vaguely familiar with famous music people.
Not so for Robert Smith until Foreign Tongues.
Here he is last year, which I think was a comeback year for him...


I am not endorsing this youtuber's taste or opinions.
But he is thoughtful and has listened to the whole thing...
 

This late 2025 trend is interesting, and has persisted, and hopefully
helps Foreign Tongues. Maybe, perhaps, at least a little?

Yeah Robert Smith has been around for quite a long time as lead singer of The Cure, but also occasionally played guitar with Siouxsie and the Banshees

Ive recorded The Cure's recent set this year's Isle of Wight festival but not yet got around to seeing it.

I didn't like Jealous Lover at first.  But later when I was doing cocaine and acid, it kind of grew on me.

I just saw a piece of the lyrics for Hit Me in the Head and there's also a line that goes like "make me puke" like in Divine Intervention the psychic who throws up...there seems to be loads of stuff these days that makes Mick puke, but I feel it, really...I mean it's a crisis wherever you look, not to mention this fucking heat (it's 10am and 31 degrees here already)... btw the other day I saw a pic of Mick from a show in 1989 and he was wearing a shirt that said "stop global warming"...this was over 35 years ago and yet still almost nothing is happening...of course all that bs makes you wanna puke...

Puking reminds me of the 70s UK punk rock era. Maybe Mick is trying to recapture this.

On HD Bite my Head Off was punk style.  He also bankrolles Sid Vicious legal fees when he was on remand for murder. 

It is not known if Mick ever tried to put a safety pin through his nose.

Yeah and Hit Me In the Head is punk rock too according to what Mick said in that one interview...it felt a bit excessive tho to have it in 2 songs hahaha...I just listened to all 4 new songs on repeat and realised that all of them except Jealous Liver have social criticism in it, I like that...that's also very punk of them

The fact other "rock grandpas" like McCartney get introspective and reminiscing on their newer stuff, meanwhile the Stones out there complaining about our fucked up world and society, I fucking love that

I would be nice, lovely even, to think I could be one of the wi8nners/wingers picked as compo winners. I haven't seen the Stoonz up-close since a callow youth at Shepperton but I still have my own hair.
Otherwise, fuck 'em and their cardigans.

We should be getting previews and samples of more songs soon, no?

You must listen to these songs on good quality ear buds to know what you really got. Listening on the phone speakers will not cut it.

Now you know...
