Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, the two surviving members of the Beatles, have recorded music together for the first time in seven years: McCartney recently joined Starr on a recording session for the drummer's forthcoming album. "Thanks for coming over man and playing great bass," wrote Starr, sharing a photo of the two. It was a previous Starr solo album, 2010's Y Not, that last brought the two together in a studio; McCartney also made a guest appearance on that album. (Stereogum)
