Son of Rogue's Gallery, a compilation of songs from the seafaring tradition, will feature a grizzled crew including Keith Richards, Michael Stipe, Nick Cave and Shane MacGowan
Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Tom Waits and the Pogues' Shane MacGowan are among the contributors to a new compilation of pirate ballads. The grizzled, A-list crew was assembled by Johnny Depp, who performs on the album, and the people behind the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
First, some more names. Among the hearties who are shivering timbers on Son of Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs and Chanteys: Tom Waits with Keith Richards, Michael Stipe with Courtney Love, Nick Cave, Broken Social Scene, Marianne Faithful with the McGarrigle sisters, Sissy Bounce with Akron/Family, Beth Orton, Macy Gray and Sean Lennon.
The two-disc set, due next year, is the sequel to a compilation from 2006. There too, Pirates producer Hal Willner manned the tiller.

What do you get when you take away the sentimentality of Radiator Springs, insert an international flavor, make a tow truck a hero and go over-the-top on action? Cars 2, Pixar’s first sequel outside of Toy Story, may be the weakest film released from the computer-animated studio giant, but is nonetheless a fun ride.
You know your film is in trouble when a six-minute Toy Story short preceding said film is more entertaining and special than the entire two-hour main movie. Cars 2 starts off like a scene straight out of a classic 60s-era spy movie. Distress message. Evil scheme. Hero to the rescue. Spy Finn McMissile (voiced by the solid Michael Caine) is out to investigate mysterious operations taking place on an isolated oil reserve, where Professor Zündapp – yes, that is the name of the character – is in the process of designing weapons to sabotage the World Grand Prix.
