For the few others besides me who post there, when I went to login today I found MICKJAGGER.com has been shut down! The only thing you see is his promotion of the upcoming release of his solo works, due out October 1. For the last several months, MICK's site has been overrun with spam attacks by porn and drug topics, so it looks like MICK has finally done something about it! It was a shock to see this today, I'll miss conversing with the other MICK chicks! Mostly ladies post over there, lol.

The timing of it would suggest that maybe there'll be a new site I would think - after all he has a new release coming out soon.
Maybe they'll revamp it in a way to keep out the spam. Sounds like a familiar problem with official sites where the admins lose interest and let the lunatics take over the asylum.
That's actually pretty much how THIS site got started, come to think of it... |

Edit - yep, just looking at it (for the first time in years!) theyve said on the homepage they're putting together a new site.
Good photo indeed. Presume thats the CD cover...

Looks like a good album of his solo works glad that he hasn't just stuck to his solo albums and actually used one off songs like Dancing in the Street with David Bowie.

Great buzz around town about the Stillers. I wanted Russ Grimm to get the coaching job, but Tomlin has been getting rave reviews. Good luck to the Expos/Nationals. At least I was alive for 2 Pirate World Series wins.
I was in Montreal for work a few years ago. We asked the bat tender to put the game on since they were playing the Pirates....He gave us a blank stare. They had no TV coverage. |

Mick used to champion free speech, especially sex and drugs.
I guess its cool if he sings about it and it sells records. But untolerable if others post it on his website. |

LaMarr Woodley seems to be the real thing. Time will tell. The local press has stated that Joey Porter's shoes have been filled. I must say that Joey Porter's on the field play has dropped. Miami may have bit off more than they can chew with Joey Porter. One thing about the Stillers management they can always tell when a player is done, except for the Rod Woodson thing. |

The Very Best of Mick Jagger, the first overview of his distinguished solo career, is set for release in the U.S. on October 2nd on Rhino Records. It's a vivid reminder of the compelling gifts that brought Jagger fame in the first place. As an embodiment of all that rock & roll can mean, he is virtually without peer and that is made plain on this compelling 17-track collection, which includes three previously unreleased performances.
"It was such a disparate time with lots of ups and down - fortunately mostly up - like you do generally have in life," explains Jagger. "For me, it's a great thing to listen to since all the songs speak to a certain time and make things come alive for me."
The earliest track on the album is "Memo From Turner," a raw, R&B burner (showcasing Ry Cooder on slide guitar) that was featured in the seminal 1970 film Performance, in which Jagger also starred. The most recent track, "Old Habits Die Hard," also references Jagger's film career. It originally appeared on the soundtrack (produced by Jagger and former Eurythmic Dave Stewart) of the 2004 film Alfie, and it won a Golden Globe for "Best Original Song."
In between those two peaks, separated by more than three decades, Jagger released four solo albums: She's the Boss (1985), Primitive Cool (1987), Wandering Spirit (1993) and Goddess in the Doorway (2001). Ten selections from those albums appear on Very Best, including "God Gave Me Everything," which Jagger co-wrote with Lenny Kravitz; "Joy," on which Bono contributes a guest vocal; "Sweet Thing," the singer's irresistibly sensual 1993 single, and "Evening Gown," a paean to lasting love that closes out this set.
Very Best also includes two dynamic collaborations on Motown songs, a favorite source of material for Jagger over the years. Reggae legend Peter Tosh, one of the founding members of the Wailers, was among the first artists signed to Rolling Stones Records in the late Seventies. For Tosh's 1978 album Bush Doctor, he and Jagger collaborated on a seductive duet on the Temptations' hit, "(You Got to Walk And) Don't Look Back," which was written by Smokey Robinson.
Then, in 1985, Jagger teamed up with David Bowie to scorch Martha and the Vandellas' classic "Dancing in the Street," which was released as a single as part of the Live Aid effort to raise funds to relieve the famine in Ethiopia. The song went to number one in England, and the video for it premiered at the Live Aid concert in Philadelphia.
The sizzling "Too Many Cooks (Spoil the Soup)," was produced by John Lennon and recorded by Jagger in 1973 in Los Angeles. The track features an all-star line-up that includes guitarists Danny Kortchmar and Jimmy Ed Davis, keyboardist Al Kooper, bassist Jack Bruce, drummer Jim Keltner and, on background vocals, singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson. It has never previously been released.
The album's two additional previously unreleased tracks were recorded while Jagger was working on Wandering Spirit with producer Rick Rubin. Jagger had sketched out "Charmed Life" (with his daughter Karis on backing vocals), but then decided the track didn't fit with the rest of the album. The rhythmically charged version on Very Best has been remixed by producer Ashley Beadle. "Taking the bare bones of the song and getting to the finished version with Ashley Beedle was a great creative collaboration," remarked Jagger.
Meanwhile, as they were making Wandering Spirit, Rubin suggested that Jagger spend a day recording with the Red Devils, a torrid L.A. blues band. "The difficult decision I was faced with when listening to the tracks I recorded with the Red Devils, and having to choose only one, reminded me what a great band they were,"said Jagger. One of the results of that session is the rollicking version of Sonny Boy Williamson's "Checking Up On My Baby" that appears on Very Best in its first official appearance on record.
While, for the most part, Jagger shuns self-revelation in his songs, this collection constitutes as rich a portrait of the singer as can be imagined. It shows him embracing a wide variety of musical forms - blues, reggae, rock & roll, dance music, ballads - and impressing his own inimitable mark on them. It shows him addressing matters of the body and the spirit, and celebrating all the ways that music engages us in our lives and in the lives of others. It shows Mick Jagger as a musician, singer and songwriter, in short, and that's finally who he is.
The very best of him is very good indeed.

Much more appealing track selection than at first rumoured. Excellent to see that "Too Many Cooks" is being officially released at last.
Still cant see the point in releasing the version of "Old Habits" WITHOUT Sheryl Crow, though as that take not only wasnt on non-US versions of the album but would have probably been a hit in it's own right |
