Mick Jagger Really 'Likes' Facebook |
"I spend way too much time on the computer and not enough time playing the guitar," Jagger told Britain's Daily Express. "There's an underlying problem of this screen life taking over all of your life," he added. "It's easy to keep in touch with people, some of whom I wish I'd never kept in touch with. But there they are on Facebook."
The Rolling Stones frontman had previously stated he needed to hire a personal assistant to update his online blogs, because he couldn't stay current enough keep up with modern technology. So, apparently, those days are over.

A Different Side To Frank Zappa |
"Frank Zappa was so serious about his work: it was his whole life. He did nothing but get up in the morning, compose all day at the piano and then go to bed. Between times he was chain-smoking and drinking endless cups of coffee. The melee went on around him but he ignored it.
"I was as odd to the freaks as they all seemed to me. I was this straight English girl and when I wrote letters home to say that Frank Zappa didn't take drugs � because my parents were very concerned � nobody believed it because of the way he looked. But he was the most conventional, conservative man."

Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, At The Gates Supergroup Vallenfyre |
The group features Gregor Mackintosh (Paradise Lost), Hamish Glencross (My Dying Bride), Mully, Scoot (Doom, Extinction Of Mankind) and Adrian Erlandsson (At The Gates, Paradise Lost)
In regards to A Fragile King and the formation of Vallenfyre, Greg comments, "The album is called A Fragile King which is a reference to my fathers' battle with cancer...In the late summer of 2009, my father John Mackintosh was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Later in the Autumn as his treatment progressed, Paradise Lost embarked on the their European tour to support the latest album [Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us]. A week into this, I received a call from my mother telling me that the doctors had found cancer in his lungs and it was terminal. He only had weeks to live. I made the decision to leave the tour leaving my very able guitar tech Milly [not be confused with Vallenfyre's Mully] to take my place. I went and stayed with my parents for the next few weeks. After a very sad and painful time he passed away on the 2nd of December early in the morning. Over the next few weeks I experienced all the famous stages of grief. It started to become very self destructive so I decided to channel it into creating something. To pay respects to the man that drove us to our very first gigs because none of us could drive. The only Dad I knew that listened to Bolt Thrower's Peel Sessions on the radio. The guy who gave me my first chord book. I decided that I was going to go right back to the beginning. To my roots in Death, Crust and Doom. It all started very angst ridden. This wasn't originally meant for anyone else to hear. It was a release. After recording some material I realized that I was actually enjoying doing this but I wanted friends involved so it could actually become real fun."

Alberta Cross Singled Out Week: Final Day |
Money for the Weekend / Pocket Full of Shame Musically speaking, this track was inspired by Mr. Keith Richards. I was reading a book about him, and it went into detail about the tunings that he used to use. When I wrote the main riff using one particular tuning, it reminded me of a Stones song. In the end, though, I think it seems more inspired by The Stooges, but lyrically it covers something entirely different.
Driving With Myself This song was the product of a jam session in Woodstock, NY when we lived there last winter. We stayed at an art hotel in the mountains that dated back over 100 years -- it was very literally in the middle of nowhere. Technically speaking, it wasn't even supposed to be open in the winter. We just convinced them to let us practice and write with our gear set up in the lobby and living room. I wrote a lot of this track on keys while Alec played guitar and Sam played keys as well. All the while, Austin and Terry came up with the groove.
Many times when I write music, it just comes out of me, and I'm not completely sure what it's about til a bit later down the line -- its kind of this out of body experience. "Driving With Myself" was like that, but now I know that it was written about being an outsider.
This track was also recorded at Electric Lady Studios. I remember that I used an old Wurly keyboard that the the Stones used on Sticky Fingers. That felt pretty special.
Rolling Thunder This song is actually the oldest one on the EP. I wrote this tune on the piano just after returning to London from my first trip to New York. I remember that Terry and I really wanted to move out there, but financially it was really impossible at the time. We recorded this song in the middle of nowhere Wales. I remember that the only company we had out there was a group of sheep that constantly stood outside the cottage and looked in at us. I'm sure they thought we were weirdos. It was like Withnail and I.
