Musicurry.com
- India’s only legal music website
Musicurry.com,
which was launched last November, as India’s first web-radio,
has added another feather in its cap by being acknowledged
as the only legal music site in India. The site has been acknowledged
as the one and only to have a license from both, the Indian
Performing Right Society Ltd. (IPRS) and the Phonographic
Performance Ltd. (P.P.L.), both wings of the Indian Music
Industry (IMI). This means that it is the only site in India
and internationally, which is legally allowed to play Indian
songs on its site, from the golden oldies to the latest releases.
Musicurry also claims to have paid advanced royalties of more
than Rs. 20 lakhs, for the benefit of artists and music companies.
The music site, which has promoted Indipop, ghazals, film
music, regional music, will now promote rock music too.

McCartney makes new Beatles record
Paul McCartney has put together a new Beatles recording titled
Free Now, mixing out-takes from 1960s studio sessions, with
previously unheard cuts of Beatles guitar work. Coming 30
years after the break-up of the Fab Four, the track will mark
the first release of original Beatles material since the 1995-96
release of the singles Free as a bird and Real love. “It’s
a new little piece of the Beatles,” McCartney said in
a statement, “It’s a little side dish that is not
to be confused with my other work. It’s more underground
then what you usually hear from me, but I like to be free
enough to do this sort of thing.”
Free Now
is one of five tracks released on August 21 in Britain as
part of McCartney’s forthcoming Liverpool Sound Collage,
an album produced as a soundtrack for an exhibition of work
by artist-musician Peter Blake, who helped design the Beatles’
landmark Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The album
is a collaboration between McCartney and two friends —
keyboardist Cican Ciaran of the Welsh pop group Super Furry
Animals, and the rock artist-producer Youth. McCartney had
been sending the Free Now track to disc jockeys and was coming
under pressure to release it as a single. No release date
has been set in the United States, but the recording is expected
to appear on an EMI label sometime in the next few months,
Freundlich said.
Beatles
music from the track was taken from recordings made between
1965 and 1969 with McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison
and Ringo Starr. Lennon, slain by a deranged fan in 1980,
can be heard saying, “OK Paul, you ready boy? This is
it,” according to Britain’s Sun tabloid newspaper.
Free as a bird and Real love, two singles from the Beatles
Anthology series, were made by the three surviving members
of the group using the recorded vocals of Lennon from an old
demo tape. The Liverpool Sound Collage weaves together a collection
of street sounds from the Beatles’ hometown, including
the lapping of the River Mersey and a woman at McCartney’s
local fish and chip shop. The Liverpool collage will mark
McCartney’s first release since his 1999 albums, the
orchestral-chamber music collection Working Classical and
his rock ’n’ roll outing Run Devil Run.
Beatles
