Sir Paul McCartney: "Carnival of Light," a 14-minute experimental Beatles track, could be released...

... if Ringo and George agree.

Reuters:

An unreleased, experimental track by The Beatles could be made public 41 years after it was recorded at Abbey Road studios, ex-member Paul McCartney has said.

McCartney, one of two surviving members of arguably the most successful pop band in history, told BBC Radio that "Carnival of Light" was The Beatles at their most free, "going off piste."

"I said it would be great to put this on because it would show we were working with really avant-garde stuff," McCartney told Radio 4's Front Row culture show in an interview to be broadcast on Thursday.

He confirmed that he had a master tape of the track, which many Beatles fans assumed until now was a piece of musical myth, and added: "The time has come for it to get its moment."

The 14-minute track was made for an electronic music festival, the only occasion the music was played in public.

Yay?

My Pet Polar Bear...story for a warming planet.

From Hipparchia's link:

...Rosing emphasizes the uniqueness of the encounter he witnessed, noting that polar bears and dogs are natural enemies and "99 percent of the bears behave quite aggressively toward dogs." Canadian wildlife expert Laury Brouzes theorizes that the polar bears' friendly behavior may have been a ploy to get a food handout from the dogs' owner.

So, this encounter took place in 1992--16 years ago, so most likely at that time the polar bears weren't suffering from lack of food supply caused by climate warming. Just wanted some easy pickings? Or...what? Fascinating.

Thnx, hipparchia.
