A New Beatles “Track”….
The Beatles are my all-time favorite band, but I’m a bit non-plussed about Paul McCartney announcing that he’s planning on releasing a new Beatles track. Not a song. A track. A track that lasts 14 minutes and probably makes the end of A Day In The Life on Sgt. Pepper’s sound like rational dialogue. The track is called Carnival of Light, and McCartney says it was inspired by John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen. So I expect to hear more dog whistles and random noises…. I’m sure the track is “very experimental” — but I’ll have to hear it before I know whether “experimental” is a compliment.
