r-w, your boys Hot Property get a bit more shine in this
new "behind the scenes" vid...

...as does Odessa

...as does Connie McLean, our makeup tutor, along with many of
the others in the cast...




...as does another of the vid's influences, Northern Soul, in this new doco

iorr-georgelicks among others have reported that Foreign Tongues
will have 11 London 2025 tracks and only 3 from earlier...

But this can't be right because we already know of 4 earlier:
"Rough and Twisted", "In the Stars", "Hit Me in the Head" (with
Charlie), and "Covered in You" (with McCartney)

(Mick, in the BBC interview below, confirms that its 10 tracks from
London 2025 and 4 earlier. So, mr revvy, forget about getting
another album or EP this year. And what about any promo shows
this year, has mr revvy also given up hope for that? Pretty much, yeah.
But I'm counting my blessings, two great defiant tracks so far, a
defiant album cover and defiant video, with likely more great tracks
coming soon, including two or more Soul tunes, plus all kinds of
wickedly clever marketing bullshit, making it for me a great Stones 2026)

McCartney yesterday via NME talking about his HD session...

"It was exciting. It was really good. A great thing is all I had to do
was play bass and not make mistakes, so it was good. I could hear
Keith as we did various takes, working his lick out that ended up on
the album, and Ronnie working his solo out, and Mick working the
vocal out...”

Today, BBC Tracks Of My Years - Mick and Ronnie (mostly Ronnie)-
a 10-track journey

My favorite Mick quote from the interview, when asked about any
Stones influences beyond rock and blues? "Soul music of all kinds"

"Tell Me" by The Rolling Stones "Mannish Boy" by Muddy Waters
"It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It)" by The Rolling Stones
"Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry "Start Me Up" by The Rolling
Stones "I Wanna Be Your Man" by The Beatles "Wouldn't It Be Nice"
by The Beach Boys "In The Stars" by The Rolling Stones
"My Baby Gives It Away" by Pete Townshend & Ronnie Lane
"Everything's Turning to Gold" by the Rolling Stones



I love every Ronnie-ish Stones track that has funky rhythms

I also remember that when this was released GOLD began its quick ascent from $200 to $800 ounce

But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the
common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?
- Mark Twain 1890

"Twain wrote often from Satan's perspective, compiled into
'Letters from the Earth', which was published decades after
his death. In it, Satan acts as an amused observer watching
human hypocrisies and absurd definitions of sin and morality."

WOO WOO

via NME...

The full tracklist has been released today (Thursday June 4), and
brings together a collection of huge artists, genres and cultures from
around the world. It looks to reflect the diversity, energy and scale of
the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

A remix of Rolling Stones’ ‘In The Stars’ is featured, as is Stormzy,
Fridayy and Angel’s ‘Blessings’, Ayra Starr and Latto’s ‘Show Me’, and
Shakira and Burna Boy’s ‘Dai Dai’.

Stones not released yet, but here's Shakira's track

Stones have launched a live stream...

so far they are playing classic performance vids...

...and so far a strange playlist:
3 versions of Street Fighting Man
2 of Gimme Shelter
2 of Satisfaction
...if this is designed to make me crave new songs, its working!
my ears hurt! good night !

"Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name..."

Chorus:



Call me Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm
Call me Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm
I would never, never, never, never do you harm
Don't have to be afraid, don't have to be alarmed

well, I guess if I was young and high as a kite and surrounded by
dancing Latinas...

...maybe I'd appreciate this remix a bit more

Given the poor quality of the image I have, I can only decipher a few
more lines of the lyrics. But I want to make note of the first line of
verse 4, where Mr. Charm confesses that "When I was very young,
I wished to fly and go to Mars".

I interpret this as an obvious shot at Elon Musk which is
something I'm pretty sure will soon be grabbing a few headlines
for Foreign Tongues...

24 hours later and the live stream is still going...

Anybody seen my baby (bremen)
Stealing My Heart (forty licks)
Tumbling Dice (Ft Worth)
Tumbling Dice (exile)

I wonder how long they can keep streaming without ever repeating
any one version of any song


***************************************************

The Stones have released an official visualizer for "Rough and Twisted"
featuring an uncredited very athletic male dancer...

the storyline: he just lost his London office job because of AI
