Latest Paul Simon News
| | New song: Questions for the Angels | | In relation to my p.m. news, I confirm that I easily got a new Simon song on iTunes for 1 buck today. So no need to buy the compilation, unless you want to spend 20$ for a $1 song ´for free´. The song is called ´Questions for the Angels´. The release date was today (thanks to the official site for letting us know :-() It is qualified as ´single´ on iTunes, but I guess it is the sense of being a single tune alone rather than a song with any kind of hook. It is spared. Mainly Simon on the guitar, with gorgeous back vocals from him, a few sonic effects. It is rather beautiful. It evolves around the travel of a pilgrim in NYC. Well, LIHT, Amulet & QFTA...is this a trend for the next album ? Will there be something called an album ? Stay tuned.
| | Another Compilation | | Yep ! They did it once again. Two years after The Essential, Paul comes back in Starbucks Stores with an exclusive compilation. http://www.sta rbucksstore.co m/products/shp rodde.asp?SKU= 228331 The tracklist is kind of strange... This time, they use the following trick to get our money: they promise a free new track through iTunes. It is something called ´Questions for (or from) the angels´.

Paul Simon concert Reviews
| | Melbourne 2009-06-26 | | Saw Paul and Art last night here in Melbourne and, despite the fact that I am a lifelong fan of both individually and as Simon and Garfunkel, I have to say that this was the best concert I have been to. The two hour set list (including a twenty minute burst of individual hits by both Paul and Art) was simply superb, the harmonies as pristine as ever (having, if anything, matured with age), Paul was in his element as the centre of the stage´s musical universe, and the backing band (led by the unc

The music was amazing, Artie’s voice I thought had improved considerably from Sunday night – I’m not sur
| | Sydney 2009-06-21 | | Well, where to begin? The show was not perfect but it was absolutely spectacular all the same. I’ve never really listened much to S&G before but I’m definitely a fan now. I’ll just run through the night in chronological order I guess. Alain and I got to Acer Arena about an hour before the show started and managed to meet Gerard and Ben before the concert, which was great. On the way there it was quite amusing, they had special trains for the event and they were either playing S&G music r
