Music Central Episode 9 (4/4/12):

The Beatles Again?

On tonight's episode the show started off with a Starfucker single titled "Julius". A swirling, psychedelic alternative jam. Next was an Al Green classic, "Let's Stay Together". 

 Katy Perry's 3D concert movie will hit theaters  this Fourth of July weekend, the Los Angeles Times reports. Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D, a film featuring documentary and live footage of the pop star, will debut on July 5th in a bid to match the success of Justin Bieber's highly profitable Never Say Never 3D concert film.

- Titanic in 3D was re-released today. The film was first released 15 years ago and at the time it was the highest grossing film of all time - and it kept that title for 12 years until James Cameron’s next film beat it with Avatar.

- New albums from Nicki Minaj, Rascal Flatts, Lights,

After the break, Will and I discussed James McCartney's possible formation of the new Beatles. James McCartney is Paul's son and what he wants to do is record with Sean Lennon, Dhani Harrison, and Zak Starkey. The group seem to be on board with the situation, however I have mixed feelings. Luckily, this won't add to their original discography - they will call themselves The Beatles: The Next Generation (maybe). What we decided was this will get a load of buzz. Rolling Stone Magazine will have these guys on their cover, and the news outlets will run this story for a long time if an album is going to be made. However, I don't think it will match The Beatles' classic material. The album will be about a 7.0 at best. 

The Next Episode by Dr. Dre was played. It's off 2001 (1999). After, a Wolfmother song titled Where Eagles Have Been played. Really exchanging different genres tonight.

Madonna and Lionel Richie are topping the charts right now, Richie earned his best chart placement since 1986.

Today is Muddy Water’s birthday, he would have been 99 today. The American blues singer was generally considered to be the father of modern Chicago Blues.

To celebrate his birthday listen to “Got My Mojo Working”, “Mannish Boy”, and “(I’m Your) Hoochie Coochie Man”

Or listen to the 2001 album The Anthology which covers his work from 1947 to 1972. It ranked #38 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of all time.

We picked up The Beatles conversation picked up when we played samples of the sons' works. Our favorite was Sean's song. Overall, this new project is exciting - the end result won't be fantastic or revolutionary. Paul McCartney should produce this while George Marting should over look the project.
