I Got Blistehs on Mah Fingahz!
So, I love the Beatles, but some times — usually a couple times a year — I REALLY REALLY love the Beatles like OMG OBSESSED. This recent bout could be a result of SEVEN HOURS of Beatles Rock Band play, last Saturday. If you heard George Harrison spinning in his grave, surely it was to [...]
The Ultimate White Album
This entry was completely inspired by my favorite professor, Glenn Gass. Professor Gass brilliantly taught “The History of the Beatles” course at Indiana University, thus cementing his role in obtaining “the best job to have ever been created, ever, in all of time.”
One crisp autumn evening almost five years ago, Gass began a lecture with, [...]
NaBloPoMo. From concentrate.
If you haven’t noticed, I’m still going strong for National Blog Posting Month, for May. (you may remember that in February, I made it a whopping four days.) Not that all the content has been great, by any means. I mean, clearly I’ve phoned some stuff in here and there, but hey, I’M NOT A [...]
Let it out and let it in
As you can imagine, working at an ad agency does not come without its twinges of moral discord. There’s always a part of me that’s like, “You just placed a print ad for a cosmetic surgeon. Your soul just died a little.” Or, “You just placed a steakburger commerical in The Biggest Loser. You are [...]
Crackle Pop Hiss
As you may know, my parents have put the ol’ house up for sale, thus ridding its contents of my childhood and fond memories. In response I’ve been requesting a collection of items I feel will likely get trashed in the move. One of those items?
A Pioneer PL-540 turntable, circa 1973.
This baby was my [...]
Top Five
Top Five Songs on your iTunes that are under two minutes, that you kind of wish were longer, but not really, because they’re kind of perfect the way they are:
1) Spoon - You Gotta Feel It
2) The Beatles - She Came in Through the Bathroom Window
3) Tori Amos - Mr. Zebra
4) Cat Stevens - The [...]
A Toot and a Snore in ‘74
After getting an A+ in my History of the Beatles class (who has two thumbs and misses college? THIS KID.), I thought I knew all there was to know about the fab four.
I just discovered that there is a rare bootleg that is the last known recording of John Lennon and Paul McCartney together.
A-la Wikipedia:
A [...]
Women I Want to Be, in Song:
“She’s Every Woman,” Garth Brooks.
Y’all didn’t think I listened to country? I’ll have you know I went through that Garth-loving hysteria, just like all my classmates in middle school. It was a phase of liking music everyone liked, and since I missed the NKOTB phase (I was just getting into Sgt. Pepper), I thought I’d [...]
you came along to turn on everyone
Remember that one time, when they made a major motion picture about my PAST LIFE?!?!?!
I have conflicting feelings about this film.
Hits:
+ Moulin Rouge was uber-successful, as was Rent, even though that movie was barely watchable and didn’t do an ounce of justice to the broadway show.
+ Um, hello. Bono plays “Dr. Roberts” and Eddie Izzard plays “Mr. [...]
…it can’t get no worse…
Oh, Paul.
…Bet he’s gonna have a hard time explaining that whole “I used to be cruel to my woman/
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved” lyric, eh?
Missing George Harrison.
I watched The Concert for Bangladesh today. Fantastic.
I love this clip of George Harrison and Bob Dylan dueting “If Not For You” in a rehearsal.
Also, for ten dollah, I now finally own a copy of The Last Waltz. We sold it at Best Buy FOREVER ago, and then it disappeared. I planned on ordering it through [...]
