Cover Version at 1 - Live and Let Die

Ever wanted to see Axl Rose in a pair of hot pants and a waistcoat? Me neither.

This, however, is the best embeddable rendition I could find of the Guns 'n' Roses version of Live and Let Die. I actively dislike Paul McCartney but I love this.

Jim suggested it to me, but I do actually have the cassette single of this knocking about somewhere. I seem to recall buying it on the same day as I bought Justified and Ancient by the KLF featuring Tammy Wynette. If you don't know what I'm on about, look it up. And don't say you never learn anything from me.

McFlying off the shelves

Popular beat combo McFly (I love the phrase popular beat combo) are moving in the direction of Prince and Paul McCartney by giving away their new album with the Mail on Sunday.



While the newspaper's readership may seem far more suited to long-established acts, McFly, who are all in their early twenties and younger than many of their predecessors' biggest hits, recently split from record label Universal to set up their own label, Super Records.

The album, Radio:ACTIVE, will be their first on the new label and will go out with every copy of the newspaper on July 20th. It will differ from Prince's effort, Planet Earth in that it will also be available in 'deluxe' edition to buy through retailers in September. McCartney's Memory Almost Full was only available in Starbucks.
