Sometimes You CAN Get What You Want: Rolling Stones Re-Release

Any excuse to party like it’s 1972! The Rolling Stones re-release what many consider to be their most seminal album, Exile on Main Street, as a two-disc deluxe edition that includes the original 18 recordings remastered, along with 10 extra tracks originally recorded during the Exile era, including alternate versions of Soul Survivor and Loving Cup. “I don't have favorite records, but Exile was always picked out as the best Stones record,” Mick Jagger said recently. “And it is a great record. What's interesting about it is that it has so many sides to it, so many different musical styles, very bluesy, and it has soul, gospel and the other quirky little bits that perhaps you wouldn't have put on a record with only 12 songs.”

Simon Gets Some Box

What do you get a rock star for his 50th birthday?
If you're John Taylor, Roger Taylor, and Nick Rhodes, you get your Duran Duran bandmate Simon Le Bon a humungous silver DJ box with fifty albums -- one for each of the years Simon's been rockin' the world.
The collection ranges from Kraftwerk's "Man Machine" to one of their own records, "Rio."
Also included were albums by Elvis, Dr. Dre, and David Bowie.
"He was thrilled," says a friend of the superstar. "He's just wondering what the lads will get him for the next fifty."
