The documentary was originally released in 1992 and is thought to have been commissioned by the band’s label Rough Trade to be given out to the press to support the release of their ‘Best Of’ compilation.

Patti Smith is set to adapt her best-selling book Just Kids for the big screen.

The punk poet and songwriter will work with Oscar nominated screenwriter John Logan on the screenplay, which they are writing on spec, rather than for a distributor, reports Deadline.com.

The book – which is based on Smith‘s relationship with the late photographer Robert Mapplethorpe – won the 2010 National Book Award for Non-Fiction over in the United States.

Patti Smith is to release a new ‘Greatest Hits’ compilation on September 12. The 18 track long ‘Outside Society’ spans Smith‘s entire body of work, from her 1975 debut all the way to her cover of Nirvana‘s Smells Like Teen Spirit in 2007. The special package will also feature brief recollections of each song written by Smith herself.

Smith has released ten studio albums across her career, the latest being ‘Twelve’ in 2007, which was a collection of cover versions of songs by artists including Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones and REM.

Reeve Carney, the actor currently starring as Peter Parker in the Broadway musical version of Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, has been cast as Jeff Buckley in the much discussed biopic of the singer’s short life.

Speculation about who would play Buckley has continued for years, with Twilight star Robert Pattinson and Milk star James Franco all thought to be in the frame at one time, but it has been announced today (August 16) that Carney has been tapped to play the singer.

The biopic, which will look at the singer’s life right up until his death at the age of 30, is being executive produced by Buckley‘s mother Mary Guibert.

Guibert said of Carney‘s casting: “We are over the moon that Reeve has agreed to take on this challenging role. He’s been getting ready for this all his life. It certainly doesn’t hurt that he looks so much like Jeff.”

The film’s director Jake Scott, who has previously been behind the camera on Plunkett And Macleane and Welcome To The Rileys, said of the actor: “We are excited to have found in Reeve the perfect combination of musical prodigy, impish charm, innate intelligence and sensitivity to play Jeff.”

Shooting is expected to begin next year.

David Bowie has ‘most likely’ retired from making music, according to his biographer.

Paul Trynka, who has penned a new book about the singer which is titled Starman, has said he believes Bowie, who has not released an album since 2003’s ‘Reality’, will only return if he “can deliver something seismic”.

Speaking to Spinner, the writer was asked if he thought Bowie would ever return to the studio and stage, to wihch he replied by saying: “My heart says he’ll come back. But my head says he’s likely not to. I think he would only come back if he thinks he could deliver something that will be seismic. If you pop back into the stage, it’s got to be something that has a big explosion and lots of flashes. It would be a bit of a miracle if he comes back, but miracles do happen.”

Bowie has not played live since 2006, when he sang onstage with Alicia Keys in New York City and has given no indication he is likely to tour again.

Radiohead are streaming the latest installment in their ‘The King Of Limbs’ remix series online – scroll down and click below to hear the tracks.

‘Give Up The Ghost’, ‘Codex’ and ‘Little By Little’ are reworked by Thriller, Illum Sphere and Shed respectively on the fourth instalment in the series, which is due to be released digitally on Monday (August 15).

The tracks were due to be released on 12″ vinyl on the same day, but this has been delayed, seemingly due to the burning down of Sony’s DADC warehouse in Enfield during the London riotsearlier this week. However, fans can pre-order the vinyl from their local record shop or Radiohead’s online store.

The Oxford band have released three previous singles in the series, which have featured remixes from the likes of Four Tet, Lone and Pearson Sound.

Meanwhile, Radiohead have reportedly been lined up to play the season opener of Saturday Night Live next month.

Thom Yorke and co will make their second musical appearance on the prime time US programme when it premieres with a show hosted by actor Alec Baldwin on September 24, reports USA Today.

Brett Anderson has confirmed that Suede will write and record a new album in the coming months.

The singer, who is currently promoting his new solo album ‘Black Rainbows’, has said he will return to the studio with Suede as soon as he is finished with his promotional duties.

Speaking to XFM, Anderson said of his plans to return to the studio: “After I’ve promoted this solo album I intend to be writing a new Suede album.”

The band had previously indicated they would not continue unless they entered the studio to make a new album and Anderson indicated that he believed the band would continue as long as they could “keep themselves interested”.

He said: “I think it’s all about keeping yourself interested as a musician, once it gets to this stage in your career it’s very much about doing things that keep you excited and making a new Suede record will be exciting, and then making another solo record after this will be exciting.”

He continued: “It’s just about trying to keep yourself interested the whole time. I think not getting stuck in a rut is the real lesson I learnt from being in Suede all that time. That’s kind of why we called it a day in 2003 – things can become too familiar and I definitely don’t want that to happen again.”

‘Black Rainbows’ is released on September 26.

Jagger has previously compared Super Heavy to The Rolling Stones, claiming: [quote]If you’re a Rolling Stones fan there’s definitely stuff you can relate to. Other stuff that you can’t relate to so much, maybe if you listen you’ll enjoy it. I don’t think it’s so far off the beaten track that you can’t understand it.[/quote]

Man jailed for eight months for looting Liam Gallagher’s Pretty Green store

A man has been sentenced to eight months in prison after being found guilty of looting from Beady Eye frontman Liam Gallagher's Pretty Green store in Manchester. According to BBC News, Owen Flanagan, who is 28 years old and from Levenshulme, just outside Manchester, pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary. Flanagan admitted he stole clothing which was worth £175 from the former Oasis man's store as well as two electrical items. The store, which is situated on the city's King Street, was looted on Tuesday night (August 9) after rioting occurred in central Manchester. Its front door and windows were left smashed after looters gained access. It is not yet known whether Flanagan is the only looter who will be charged in relation to the Pretty Green incident. Courts across the UK are currently sitting for 24 hours a day to process all the cases from the riots. Latest music and film news on Uncut.co.uk.

Few notes about this lot. The Mark Fry album is brand new, though sounds rather compellingly as if it was recorded in 1971, while the Modeselektor album features Thom Yorke on a couple of tracks and works in places as a neat Berlin companion piece to “The King Of Limbs”. Just writing something about the Mikal Cronin album for Wild Mercury Sound in the next issue of Uncut, by the way. And one more thing: it may be worth reiterating that these playlists merely document the records we’ve played in the office, and don’t automatically constitute any kind of endorsement. I like most things here, but not everything.

Muse will enter the studio to begin recording the follow-up to their 2009 fifth album ‘The Resistance’ in September.

Bass player Chris Wolstenholme said that the trio will be heading straight in to the studio after they headline Reading And Leeds Festivals at the end of August.

Speaking on BBC Radio 1, the bassist said of the band’s recording plans: “September and October, that’s when we’re going to get into the studio to start writing the new album.”

Wolstenholme also indicated that the band have no intention of scaling back on their live commitments in the future, despite having had a fairly quiet 2011 in terms of live dates.

He said: “We’re always going to be the kind of band that want to get out and play live. As the years go on there’s that temptation to cut the touring down less and less but we still love playing live. I can’t ever imagine we’ll be the kind of band that cut the touring down significantly.”

The bassist also said that the band would not be debuting any new material during their Reading and Leeds headline sets.

He added: “It’s difficult to bring new songs into the live set before you record them with the internet and dodgy recordings of live songs getting out there before they’ve been released on an album. People tend not to play new songs live any more. That’s why we want to get into the studio, make another album and then tour it.”

Amy Winehouse‘s former husband Blake Fielder-Civil is planning to write a book about his life with the singer, according to tabloid reports today (August 10).

Fielder-Civil, who is currently serving a two-year prison sentence in Leeds for armed robbery and firearm offences, was married to the singer between 2007 and 2009 and was the subject of much of the lyrical material for her successful second album ‘Back To Black’. He did not attend the singer’s funeral after prison officials refused to award him compassionate leave to attend the ceremony.

A source told The Sun: [quote]Blake’s been planning to write a tell-all on Amy since she became famous. When they were together he’d film her, but there are many hours of footage and photos he hasn’t released.[/quote]

Winehouse was found dead in her north London home three weeks ago (July 27). An investigation into the cause of her death is still ongoing and is not expected to be completed until the autumn.

Red Hot Chili Peppers have opened up about the song written for their old friend Brendan Mullen, a song that will feature on their new album ‘I’m With You’.

Over on AnthonyKiedis.net, the lead singer breaks down the tribute song, ‘Brendan’s Death Song’, which came out of the band hearing the news of their friend’s death on the first day of rehearsal. Kiedis writes: “Brendan happened to die on the very first day we were to rehearse with Josh Klinghoffer. When I got to rehearsal I delivered the news to my band that we just lost this beautiful person. And then we started playing without really talking.”

Speaking to the LA Times, new guitarist Klinghoffer remembers the news coming through on his first day. He describes it as, “Sort of a sad hello. Everybody lost a good friend.”

Lyrics for the song include the lament “Let me live, so when it’s time to die, even The Reaper cries.”

Bredan Mullen was a British writer and a rock club impresario who helped give the band their first break in 1983. He was working on a biography with Red Hot Chili Peppers when he died.

‘I’m With You’ is out August 30.

Noel Gallagher has revealed how much of his older Oasis material will feature on his setlist during his first solo tour, as well as having a sly dig at Radiohead.

Speaking to Rolling Stone about how much of the set for his solo shows will comprise of older material – “about four songs” – Gallagher justified the inclusion of playing Oasis songs by saying:

[quote]I’ve always thought most bands should play Oasis songs, anyway. The Foo Fighters should definitely do a couple. Green Day could do even more than one or two. Radiohead? I mean, let’s face it. It’d be a better night out.[/quote]

It’s not the first time one of the Gallagher brothers has had a pop at Radiohead. In the past Noel’s brother Liam has called Radiohead fans “ugly and boring” as well as recently telling Thom Yorke to “go fuck himself”.

In the interview Noel Gallagher was also asked about the change from selling out huge arenas to playing smaller, more intimate venues. When asked if the transition of being closer to the audience and being put in a changed enviroment would be a benefit to the singer, Noel said: “People keep saying, ‘Oh, it’ll be great to get out of your comfort zone’. It’s like, ‘Fuck you!’ Get out of your fucking comfort zone! It fucking took me 20 years to build a comfort zone. I have no fucking intention of stepping outside of mine. Not for no fucker. That’s fucking gone! Fucking comfort zone bastard.”

‘Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ will be released on October 17 through Sour Mash Records.

Morrissey has laid into Prime Minister David Cameron in the wake of the riots that took place in Tottenham over the weekend.

According to the Evening Standard, the singer spoke from the stage at London‘s O2 Academy Brixton on Sunday (August 7) and hit out at Cameron about his comments over the riots on the previous evening. He asked: “Has David Cameron ever been to Tottenham? I don’t think so.”

The singer also recalled his delight at seeing the Prince Of Wales‘ car after besieged during last year’s student protests in London.

He said: “In what our slanted media called the student riots, Charles and ‘Camel’ came face to face with the British public, without the protection of Buckingham Palace or the police. And what happened to them, I couldn’t stop laughing about for weeks – no, months.”

Morrissey is still searching for a new record label to release his new studio album. Despite the follow-up to 2009’s ‘Years Of Refusal’ being complete and ready to release, Morrissey has said he is still struggling to find a label to put it out for him. The singer has also indicated that he will release his autobiography in December 2012.
