I just watched the Who Is Harry Nilsson? documentary on Netflix instant view (it’s also available on Amazon.com) and I really quite enjoyed it. I wasn’t too familiar with Nilsson other than knowing that he was a good friend of John Lennon’s and and that they got in a lot of trouble together in the [...]

I was just reading the “Notes on” page for “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away”* and I was surprised to see that of the 15 Beatles songs that use 3/4 timing (or 6/8 or 12/8) for at least one full section 11 of them were by John Lennon. Paul McCartney and George Harrison had [...]

Life is about change, my friends. Jeff Retard was a strong boy. It is tough to understand what Gerard Cosloy can do to a man. If Jim Morrison and Nick Drake had a child, it would have looked a hell of a lot like the late Mr. Reatard. But life is about change, my friends. [...]

The Beatles USB was released today (and it’s back in stock at Amazon.com after being sold out for weeks.) The price has been reduced as it was selling for $250 and it’s now at $227. With this “Apple” (that’s The Beatles Apple Corps, not the computer company that sells Macs, iPods, and iPhones) themed USB [...]

My final entry in my “Most Valuable Beatle” series (which except for Yellow Submarine could really be called my Lennon vs. McCartney series.) Before I get to the Past Masters 2 disc let me share my previous entries here: Please Please Me (John), With The Beatles (John), A Hard Day’s Night (John), Beatles For Sale [...]

I’m finishing up my “Most Valuable Beatle” series with the Past Masters non album tracks compilation which I’m splitting up into disc 1 and disc 2 to make it easier to chew.
