Sneak Peek new footage, plus images from the upcoming historical three-part drama series "Gunpowder", produced by Kudos and Thriker Films for BBC One, directed by J. Blakeson, starring Kit Harrington ("Game of Thrones"):

"The plan was to blow up the 'House of Lords' during the 'State Opening' of England's 'Parliament' on 5 November 1605, as the prelude to a popular revolt in the 'Midlands' during which James's nine-year-old daughter, 'Princess Elizabeth', was to be installed as the Catholic head of state.

Two music legends have passed on recently, Small Faces/Faces' keyboardist Ian McLagan and super session saxophonist Bobby Keys. Texas-born and bred Keys is best known for his work with The Rolling Stones. (As well as his hard-charging camaraderie with Keith Richards.) His honkin' can be heard on such Stones jukebox anthems as "Brown Sugar," "Happy," and "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" as well as John Lennon's hit single "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night". He also played with one of my favorite bands, Delaney & Bonnie as well as The Plastic Ono Band, Nilsson, Joe Cocker, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and many more. Last year I caught him in action with Bob Weir.
Ian also played on many sessions and toured with The Stones, Dylan, Springsteen, Billy Bragg, Bonnie Raitt, and others. But some of his most beloved songs include "Ooh La La," "Stay With Me," "Itchycoo Park," "Lazy Sunday" and many,...

Bobby Keys, the Texas-born tenor saxophonist whose bold and bluesy sound made him the single most vital auxiliary member of the Rolling Stones from the 1970s forward, died Tuesday at his home in Franklin, Tenn. He was 70. His family confirmed the death on Facebook without giving a cause. He had been fighting cirrhosis. With a uniquely powerful sound that was more rock 'n' roll than R&B, Keys made a name for himself first with his solo on Dion's "The Wanderer" in 1961, which led to more studio work, most of it uncredited. In the 1970s, he became a

Los Angeles — For one night only, the Rolling Stones were an up-and-coming band again.
The legendary group rocked a small club in Los Angeles on Saturday night for a minuscule crowd compared to the thousands set to see them launch their "50 and Counting" anniversary tour a week later on May 3 at the Staples Center.
The band kicked off Saturday's hush-hush 90-minute concert at the Echoplex in the hip Echo Park neighborhood with "You Got Me Rocking" before catapulting into a mix of new and old material, as well as their bluesy covers of classics from Otis Redding ("That's How Strong My Love Is"), Chuck Berry ("Little Queenie") and The Temptations ("Just My Imagination").
"Welcome to Echo Park, a neighborhood that's always coming up – and I'm glad you're here to welcome an up-and-coming band," lead singer Mick Jagger joked after the second song of the evening, "Respectable."
Despite clocking in several decades as a band,...

The 69 year old, who is responsible for the sax solo in Brown Sugar, has revealed that once when the group was staying in a hotel while touring in the Nineties, Richards shot a golf ball with his gun after it landed in his eggs Benedict, the Sun reported.
Keys asserted in his autobiography that when he hit his ball it hooked into the trees, ricocheted, and landed in the middle of Richards breakfast. So he shot it.
He further said that Richards was.

There are certain concerts music journalists remember as if it was yesterday. The agonizing shin splints from watching a multi-night stand by AC/DC or seeing then-unknown New York quintet The Strokes opening for British band Doves at Toronto's Opera House in March 2001 before a few dozen people both come to mind, for different reasons.
But perhaps none have been as satisfying as landing a ticket for The Rolling Stones "warm-up" gig at Toronto's Phoenix Concert Theatre on Aug. 10, 2005. No guest list, no media pass. Just lining up at 5 pm on Sherbourne Street the night before, waiting 16 hours and hoping to pay $10 for one of roughly 200 to 300 ducats to see an incredibly exclusive gig before the band kicked off their A Bigger Bang world tour.
Now, as part of their ongoing archival "bootleg series" in association with Google Play, The Rolling Stones will be releasing "Light the Fuse: A Bigger...

Here's eleven of my favorite new rock tunes for your early spring listening pleasure. Enjoy the melodic sunshine, people.
"Eskimo Kiss" The Kooks Junk of the Heart (Astralwerks)
Not sure why my fellow critics insist on dropping the "sounds like The Strokes" tag on these Brits. And some scribes have whined they aren't "edgy" enough. So what. I hear more of The Kinks and The La's as reference points. And to me, that's much better company if you love more pop in your rock. Case in point, the infectious ear candy of "Eskimo Kiss," my pick hit from their latest long player (LP). Currently on tour in the U.S. of A.
"Stay At Home" Yellow Ostrich Strange Land (Barsuk)
Speaking of the Strokes...I hear more than a hint of their aggro-guitar pop rock in this very fine track from former Wisconsinite/current New Yorker Alex Schaaf. His newly...

My last night in Cannes, I went to a screening of Stones in Exile, a documentary about the making of Exile on Main Street. By the time I got there, the line for it was around the block, but I managed to squeeze inside at the last moment and grab a seat. To the delight of the crowd, Mick Jagger came bounding up on stage, looking fit as a fiddle at 66, still scrawny as a scarecrow and time-on-his-side robust as he shouted out a hello in impeccably accented French (“Bonsoir! Bonsoir, tout le monde!”). He then introduced the movie, saying...
