Paul McCartney is working on new music with the creators of the popular video game Halo. McCartney made the announcement on his Twitter page over the weekend, posting, "I'm really excited to be working on writing music with Bungie, the studio that made Halo," along with a photo of him working on the project.

Though McCartney is working with Bungie, it doesn't seem his new music will appear in the upcoming Halo 4, as the latest iteration is being developed by 343 Studios. This isn't the first time McCartney has entered the video game world: his likeness was featured in The Beatles: Rock Band in 2009.

“Is It True”

Brenda Lee | 1964

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
