Ringo Starr recruits Paul McCartney on new album
Ringo Starr's forthcoming solo album will feature bass and backing vocals from an old, mop-topped pal from Liverpool. Paul McCartney appears on two tracks on Y Not, Starr's fifteenth solo record and the first he has produced himself. "Paul was doing the Grammys, so he came over to the house and was playing bass on [new song] Peace Dream," Starr explained. "I played him this other track and Paul said, 'Give me the headphones. Give me a pair of cans'. And he went to the mic and he just invented that part where he follows on my vocal. That was all Paul McCartney, and there could be nothing better." The song, Walk With Me, was co-written by Starr and Van Dyke Parks, the 66-year-old arranger who has worked with everyone from the Beach Boys to Joanna Newsom. McCartney's vocals "make it bigger and ... fuller", Starr said. "It makes the song like a conversation between us, and that was Paul's idea to do his part one beat behind me. That's why he's a gen-i-us and an incredible bass player." McCartney last teamed up with Starr for his 1998 album, Vertical Man, which also featured George Harrison and George Martin. More recently, they appeared together at a transcendental meditation benefit in New York earlier this year. Besides the former Beatle, Y Not's other "gen-i-uses" include Joss Stone, Ben Harper, All Starr bandmate Richard Marx and Ringo's brother-in-law, Joe Walsh. Still, the Fab Four drummer hasn't turned this into a grotesque comedy of cameos. Starr runs the show, also making his debut as producer. "I was the least involved in the production of the Beatles' records. And then [the same] with my solo records," he said. "Then suddenly it's another point in your life, and you say, 'I'm going to do this now'. So I'll be producing everything I make from now on. That's the good news. It's a confidence thing, I suppose. And Y Not is really another way of me saying, 'Yes I Can.'" Slogan aside, there is no sign of Barack Obama on Starr's new record. Y Not will be released on 12 January 2010.

OBSCENE
Celebrities like Pariah Scarey are like terrorists except they’re more successful in their negotiations. If a bank robber with hostages had the same list of demands, there would be no less than 15 snipers ready to shoot them in the head the minute they go near a window. Can you feel my love for this woman?

McCartney to be honoured by US Congress
Sir Paul McCartney is to be awarded the Gershwin Prize For Popular Music in Washington next spring. The former Beatle will be the third musician - and first non-American - to receive the honour, which is given by the US Library Of Congress. Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon were the previous recipients. The former's award was presented to him by US President Barack Obama in February this year. Speaking about the forthcoming event, Congress librarian James H Billington said that McCartney's enduring effect on music is what secured him the prize, reports The New York Times. "It is hard to think of another performer and composer who has had a more indelible and transformative effect on popular song and music of several different genres," he stated. An all-star tribute concert is also scheduled to take place to celebrate McCartney receiving the award. The Liverpudlian added that he is "hugely honoured" to be collecting the honour.
