Chairman and CEO of the Universal Music Group Lucian Grainge (L), and CEO of EMI Group Roger Faxon (R) chat prior to a hearing before the Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights Subcommittee of Senate Judiciary Committee June 21, 2012 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.

BRUSSELS (AP) - Universal Music Group got approval Friday from American and European regulators to buy the famed British music company EMI, including the hugely lucrative Beatles catalogue. But the EU imposed stringent restrictions on the deal, forcing Universal to sell some of EMI's biggest acts, such as Cold Play and Pink Floyd.

Among EMI's assets that must go is Parlophone, home to those two British bands as well as Kylie Minogue and David Bowie. The Beatles, which is part of Parlophone, was exempted.

The Sadies' Neil Young Fantasy: Want to Talk San Jose Sharks With Him

When Toronto's beloved underground country rockers The Sadies first met and collaborated with Canadian folk icon Neil Young, drummer Mike Belitsky could barely believe it was happening.

After a lengthy and fruitless struggle to find enough free time in both of their schedules to actually meet in a studio and play "This Wheel's on Fire" together for The Band tribute album Garth Hudson Presents: A Canadian Celebration of The Band, Belitsky had pretty much given up all hope.

"It just seemed like one of those things that would always be a rumor," the drummer tells Spinner. "Like a carrot on the end of a stick. We were on a treadmill and someone kept moving the carrot further."

When the day and the studio time were finally booked, the reality of the situation started to dawn on the band ever so slowly.
