Mick Jagger and Keith Richards Will Pay Hubert Sumlin's Funeral Expenses

The funeral for Chicago blues great Hubert Sumlin, the longtime guitar player for Howlin' Wolf who died Sunday at age 80, will be paid for by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. Sumlin's partner, Toni Ann, posted the news online. "God bless the Rolling Stones," she wrote.
The Stones have long acknowledged their debt to Sumlin, who was ranked at number 43 on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists list.
Richards played on Sumlin's 2006 album, About Them Shoes. "Hubert was an incisive yet delicate blues player," Jagger said today, "a wonderful foil for Howlin' Wolf's growling vocal style . . . He was an inspiration to us all."
Sumlin will be buried in a private service in Homewood, Ill., on December 13th. A public viewing will be held on December 11th and a religious service occurs the following day at the Festa Memorial Funeral Home in Totowa, N.J.

Chocolate Robots - P i Z z A f A c E


This e/mail I got made me laugh:

Hi EXILE ON MOAN STREET!
We’re Mike Giresi, Mutt Giresi, and Marco Giresi. We all work at our parent’s pizza shop and play in our
band Chocolate Robots. Our record PIZZA FACE just came out!
The album was recorded in Sarnia, Ontario mainly by us, using a bunch of old tube and tape equipment my dad had left over from being an Italian singer songwriter in the 70s.
Initially, the album was mixed locally and it sounded like Michael Bolton, but luckily we ran into the Fab Moretti from the Strokes. We went bowling and after the game he kindly passed our music on to Thom Monahan (Devandra Banhart, Vetiver). Thom started working on the record and the music came together. It sounds better than we ever thought it would! Drunk on confidence we got Mark Lawson (Arcade Fire, Unicorns) to mix 3 songs on the record as well.
Here’s a couple videos for Young Luff, and Impossible Princess.

Comrade Artemio: 'we were guilty of abuses and mistakes'

                    Deep in Peru's central jungle, the last of a generation of Latin American revolutionaries continues to fight the state. Artemio is the only member of the original Shining Path leadership who is still free and alive, and he wants to lay down his arms. After close to 30 years living in the bush and fighting a guerrilla war he says the military fight is over but the political one must continue. Yet it will be almost impossible for Artemio to make a transition into civilian life. The best he can do is to negotiate the terms of his surrender. Terms that both he and the Peruvian state will accept.
