The Rolling Stones' Perfect Storm: "Charlie Is My Darling" and "Crossfire Hurricane"



A few years back, Rock Turtleneck called on The Rolling Stones to stick a crowbar in their archives and start releasing some of the treasures within. Word obviously got to the Stones camp, and since then, great stuff has come out. There have been the Deluxe Editions of Exile on Main Street and Some Girls, and downloads of some fabulous live shows such as A Brussels Affair, recorded during the 1973 Goat's Head Soup tour.

The latest release is Charlie Is My Darling, a long-forgotten slice of cinema verite covering the Stones' short tour of Ireland in 1965, right around the time "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" hit the charts made them huge stars.

It will begin a limited theatrical release in LA and New York starting Friday, and will be released on DVD on November 6th. It would make a wonderful double bill with Bob Dylan's 1965 London tour doc Dont Look Back.


The film is full of priceless, previously unseen backstage stuff, like Mick & Keith running through a verison of The Beatles' "I've Just Seen a Face," a clip that I would love to show you but was recently taken off YouTube. I guess you'll just have to go see the movie.

Later in November, the Stones will be releasing a career spanning film Crossfire Hurricane which will be on HBO for a few months before its commrerical release. 

Judging by the trailer below, it might be worth getting HBO for the month just to see it. The film is only two hours long, but hopefully the DVD release will go into more depth.

    Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you
    using for this website? I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had problems with
    hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm looking to
    start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had
    to ask!

    Hi. I noticed your blog title, "Blogger: Rock Turtleneck" does not really
    reflect the content of your web page. When writing your
    blog title, do you think it's best to write it for SEO or for your audience? This is something I've been struggling with simply because I want good search
    rankings but at the same time I want the best quality for
    my visitors.

    I am new to developing web sites and I was wondering if having your site
    title relevant to your articles and other content really
    that vital? I see your title, "Blogger: Rock Turtleneck " does appear to be spot on with what your blog is about but, I prefer to keep my title less content descriptive
    and based more around site branding. Would you think this is a good idea or bad idea?
    Any assistance would be greatly valued.

    Currently it appears like Drupal is the preferred
    blogging platform out there right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?

    Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
    said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell
    to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I
    had to tell someone!
