  • Though the Beatles have yet to release their catalog on iTunes, Paul McCartney will continue to distribute his solo work digitally through the store later this month. On August 21, McCartney will release Live at the ICA Festival, a six-song EP taken from his performance at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in the U.K. during last month’s iTunes festival.
  • According to reports, Oasis will release their postponed tour documentary Lord Don’t Slow Me Down in October; the film features footage from their 2005-2006 world tour.
  • The co-executor of James Brown’s will has resigned after handing over a check for $350,000, the amount of Brown’s money he was accused of misappropriating.
  • Amy Winehouse has pulled out of two gigs opening for the Rolling Stones in Germany after being admitted to the hospital last week.
  • Aretha Franklin canceled a hometown gig in Detroit Sunday night due to the weather. “I am exhausted from the heat and cannot tolerate heat in these extremely high numbers and being in concert simultaneously,” she said in a statement.

Aretha only canceled. Don’t worry, Detroit. It’s not over til the fat woman sings.

What kind of news stories are these – for the 50 to 70 year old RS readers out there? There’s got to be some other news stories going on with current and new artists and bands out there than this.

MTV | 8/13/2007, 10:52 am EST

Lesson for the RS editors…This is the kind of news we all like…

Brett | 8/13/2007, 11:59 am EST

About time Oasis released that bitch! Been waiting for it forever.
And they need to get the Beatles on iTunes ASAP.

Iggy | 8/13/2007, 12:15 pm EST

The Oasis ‘Lord Don’t Slow Me Down’ tour documentary will also contain another DVD with their homecoming gig in Manchester with 16 live tracks.

I said it once, and I’ll say it again… Paul McCartney is a DILDO.

cota | 8/13/2007, 12:49 pm EST

hey Larry,,,,,,it might not be wat YOU like to listen to (me either,,,,), but surely you do realize that McCartney, Aretha and James Brown have their feet firmly planted in modern music history,,,,,,if you don’t want to read it, then turn the page or click your mouse,,,,,,there is something for everyone out there!!!

Grow up, Cathy Porter. Your taste in music leaves much to be desired. Open your mind yes, but to good acts. Your choices are deplorable. You’re 45 and still listening to gangsta rap AND Sum 41?? Jesus.

Jacob | 8/13/2007, 1:32 pm EST

Paul McCartney and Oasis: Does not get better than that.

Scott | 8/13/2007, 1:34 pm EST

Hey Little Suzy,

Don’t worry, there are always more stories about “current and new artists and bands out there” than veteran acts. Have you not looked at Rolling Stone in the last 10 years? Check out this week’s awful cover …

Sammy | 8/13/2007, 2:10 pm EST

Alright, I was a little crass earlier. I’ll admit it. Bottom line is I’m tired of hearing how great the Beatles were. They were — fine. They were the best band, have the greatest, most significant songs, albums…made an impact with what they did on culture. And yes…McCartney wrote some of the best ones — Hey Jude, Fool on the Hill, Helter Skelter, fine. And yes, he has written great music as a solo artist — Maybe I’m Amazed, LIttle Willow, Mr. Bellamy. So maybe I’m the dildo. Fine I admit it, I am. I’m a loser compared to McCartney. And yes, that bothers me. So you’ve heard my heart. Now can we talk about someone who doesn’t make me feel like such a loser?

Sammy( . ) ( . ) | 8/13/2007, 4:43 pm EST

Who dares speak for me? Get your own name ass licker!

Sammy (.) (.) | 8/13/2007, 9:43 pm EST

Sorry about that last post folks. I have a disease called Tourette’s Syndrome. I have these momentary angry outbursts…but rest assured, I meant what I said when I wrote that I was the dildo, not Mr. McCartney — who is a genius and has accomplishments I can never dream of matching. I have accomplished nothing in my life in fact, truth be told.

Fred dog | 8/14/2007, 3:43 am EST

Yo, Sammy. You schizoid, brotha! IT’s cool. Long as you come clean like that. And yeah, you’re right, McCartney is a living God essentially. What up with the bitching then apologizing though? Get your head on straight, Sammy, my man!

Sylvia | 8/14/2007, 3:45 am EST

Fred — sammy already explained that he has tourrettes which would explain his outbursts. It is a disease so just leave it alone.

On the topic of Paul McCartney. What hasn’t been said already? He is magic.

Sammy( . )( . ) | 8/14/2007, 7:29 am EST

Paul McCartney here, damn I wish I hadn’t lost half the Beatles catalog by being chummy with a little boy toucher named Michael. I can’t believe I lost half my money to a one legged prostitute! I also wish John hadn’t wrote all the best Beatles tunes. Damn, even Ringo had better songs than me! It’s so grand being known as the “cute one”. Also, it is not nice to use Sammy’s name to defend me. Make yourself known, for he loves a good debate!

Sammy | 8/14/2007, 7:58 am EST

Lick my 8==D

Sammy | 8/14/2007, 8:01 am EST

8==D in your ( )( )

Sammy | 8/14/2007, 12:51 pm EST

Wow, sorry folks. As you can see, I had a bad night last night. Damn Tourrettes. I made a fool out of myself again.

Here I am, a person who has accomplished nothing trying to attack someone who has accomplished so much. As John once sang, but now I really mean it…I’m a Loser — with a capital L.

SaMbOoKwEl | 8/14/2007, 1:31 pm EST

The only real accomplishment Paul has made: becoming the worlds biggest 8==D! I had 2 accomplishments today before 10:00am with the help of lesbian porn.

SaMbOoKwEl | 8/14/2007, 1:37 pm EST

Although in truth, I don’t really mean what I just wrote. For I am the 8==d. :) gotcha, baby boy!

Sam | 8/14/2007, 1:46 pm EST

Nice try, it’s 8==D though. Check out the Lennon page. Nice talking to myself!
