McCartney Wants 14-Minute Beatles Song Released

If Paul McCartney has his way, a 41-year old Beatles song will see its release. The avant garde, 14-minute jam, 'Carnival of Light,' was recorded in one take on January 5, 1967, around the time the Fab Four perfected 'Penny Lane.'

"I like it because it's the Beatles free, going off piste," McCartney told BBC Radio host John Wilson. "We were set up in the studio and would just go in every day and record."

"I said to the guys, 'This is a bit indulgent but would you mind giving me 10 minutes?'" McCartney explained. "I've been asked to do this thing. All I want you to do is just wander round all of the stuff and bang it, shout, play it. It doesn't need to make any sense. Hit a drum, wander to the piano, hit a few notes ... and then we put a bit of echo on it. It's very free."

Springsteen Makes His 'Dream' Come True

Just hours after debuting a new song, titled 'Working on a Dream,' during Sunday Night Football, Bruce Springsteen announced the release of his 24th album of the same name, due January 27. Recorded with the E Street Band at Southern Tracks in Atlanta, GA, with additional recording in New York City, Los Angeles and New Jersey, the follow-up to 2007's 'Magic' marks Springsteen's fourth collaboration with producer Brendan O'Brien.

"Towards the end of recording 'Magic,' excited by the return to pop production sounds, I continued writing," Springsteen said. "When my friend producer Brendan O'Brien heard the new songs, he said, 'Let's keep going.' Over the course of the next year, that's just what we did, recording with the E Street Band during the breaks on last year's tour."

"I hope 'Working on a Dream' has caught the energy of the band fresh off the road from some of the most exciting shows we've ever done," he added. "All the songs were written quickly, we usually used one of our first few takes and we all had a blast making this one from beginning to end."

Coldplay Get 'Lost' With Jay-Z

Sorry, Kanye. Coldplay have partnered with rap icon Jay-Z on an upcoming special single version of the 'Viva La Vida' track 'Lost.' The new rendition of the song will be released "in a few weeks," according to a recent hand-written post by frontman Chris Martin.

"In the spirit of trying to things a bit differently and keep everything fresh, we are going to do a few musical moves that we have not previously attempted," Martin explains. Jay-Z's "guest experience," as Martin describes it, will also be a part of Coldplay's upcoming EP, 'Prospect's March,' which drops November 25, and features seven tracks that weren't finished in time to appear on 'Viva La Vida.'

"We are very proud of these and are pretty excited to release them," Martin adds. "They have each been the subject of many discussions and arguments; Some might be considered too catchy or heavy for Coldplay songs but in our minds, they complete the 'Vida La Vida' picture."
