I spent this weekend watching DVDs, taking notes, and writing reviews. I’ve been feeling the crush of piling review material and I set out to do something about it. I finished my Muddy Waters review for tomorrow. My Pinetop Perkins review should go live today. I’m working on the Stones’ monster [...]

It was 40 years ago today…
You might hear this in a news story or two today: The Beatles’ landmark Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album turns 40-years old today. I wonder how many baby boomers will be driven to drink by this news. I feel strangely ambivalent about this anniversary thing. [...]

I can now put myself to bed secure in the knowledge that I succeeded in my efforts to make tonight a working night. Translation: I got a lot of work done.
I wrote a preview of the upcoming Stones’ DVD set. I also finished the rough draft of my review of Muddy Waters’ [...]

My iPod is bursting with new music and I’ve done none of it justice. I’ve listened now to everything I recently bought/received at least once, but have not had the chance to properly immerse myself in the joy of this bounty. I’m anticipating having some time around the desk tomorrow and I’ll certainly [...]

I went home for lunch today and ‘dined’ on some lovely high-fiber cuisine. Some folks calls it cardboard, I calls it high-fiber cuisine. If getting older didn’t beat the alternative, I wouldn’t do it. I am thrilled to say, however, there was a spoonful of sugar to help get the high-fiber medicine [...]

I never dreamed I’d be writing as much about The Beatles and McCartney as I have the last month or so, but that’s part of the reason I do this- I don’t usually like surprises but it’s fun to see where the music and your imagination might take you.
Today, it took me to YouTube. [...]

I’m going to have to work a second job or this site is going to have to start producing some actual royalty checks. With my mouth I curse the music industry while I simultaneously hand them huge wads of my cash. I admit the absence of any semblance of logic in this. [...]

There is a definite trend in today’s listening: Liverpool. I listened to a fistful of Beatles songs and spent the rest of the day listening to Paul McCartney and George Harrison. Yesterday, I bought the McCartney Wingspan compilation. I decided to start there because many of his albums are about to [...]

I recently wrote about an increasing interest in exploring the solo work of the former Beatles, so I downloaded the first single, “Ever Present Past,†from Paul McCartney’s upcoming album Memory Almost Full from iTunes. I know I’ll probably buy the album, but it only cost me a buck to preview a [...]

I can’t remember how it started, but last night I was scrolling through my iTunes library and the desire to pick through George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass overtook me.
I’m a Beatles fan (who isn’t) and am moderately knowledgeable on the band, but much less so on the individual solo careers of the Fab Four. [...]
