Mick Jagger and Jimmy Page Can’t Agree on Where ‘Scarlet’ Was Recorded
The Rolling Stones have been rolling out remixes of their previously unreleased single “Scarlet” from the likes of the Killers and the War on Drugs, but Mick Jagger and Jimmy Page, who’s featured on the 1974 track, can’t seem to agree on where the original was recorded. The Stones frontman swears it was done at Olympic Studios in London, while the Led Zeppelin guitarist insists it was Ronnie Wood’s basement, though he hadn’t yet joined the Rolling Stones’ lineup at that point. During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Jagger had this to say about the session: “I spoke to [Jimmy Page] the other day. I said, ‘I’m sure we did that at Olympic.’ He said, ‘No, no I remember it really well. We did it in Ronnie Wood’s basement.’ And I said, ‘Well, that’s weird, why isn’t Ronnie on it, the...

Tracy Bonham‘s ‘The Burdens Of Being Upright’ was released the same year I started playing drums and started my fi...

As proof, Leonard presented to the judge a handwritten motion from inmate Jeremiah Farmer confessing to the attack.

A new biography exploring the life of legendary electronic music composer Wendy Carlos has hit the shelves. Written by Amanda Sewell, music director at Interlochen Public Radio, the eponymous book offers an in-depth look into the fascinating life of the 3-time Grammy Award-winning musician.

Robert Moog dropped the curtain on his bespoke synthesizer in 1964, introducing a sleeker, more compact version of the convoluted, analog wired walls of music studios at the time. Carlos went on to harness the power of the Moog synth to record her Switched-On Bach LP, an album that reconfigured Johann Sebastian Bach’s ...
