I know this is five years old, but it still gets me in the feels.
The Long One
This is worth a look.
The Beatles’ swansong, “Abbey Road,” just hit #1 on the charts again… 50 years after its release! One major reason this album has become a cultural treasure is the beautiful “medley” heard on Side 2. But these songs and the way they were put together have a surprising history, one that we dig into in this video. (Perhaps stranger than the music’s story is John Lennon’s opinion of it…)
You Bastards Don’t Deserve It
But here it is anyway.
Yes We Can
Bob Stinson was a HUGE Yes fan. Here’s why.
Best YouTube comment?
“They didn’t need Pro Tools. They had pros.”
You (Still) Get The Finger
The song that inspired a post title from last week.
This album came out in 2006 and I am old.
Thom Yorke’s Favorite R.E.M. Song
Or so he says …
Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the river there’s a girl without a dreamI’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
Eastern to Mountain, third party call, the lines are down
The wise man built his words upon the rocks
But I’m not bound to follow suit
The trees will bend, the conversation’s dimmed
Go build yourself another home, this choice isn’t mineI’m sorry, I’m sorry
Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The ocean sang, the conversation’s dimmed
Go build yourself another dream, this choice isn’t mineI’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
Damn
The Cars were a great live band!

Born Innocent

Absolutely.
Born Innocent will introduce a wider audience to two of the coolest people alive. The McDonald Brothers embody Southern California, rock and roll, and what it means to be an artist. They have influenced independent music in ways that beg to be acknowledged. From helping invent Beach Punk to influencing the Grunge and Glam Metal movements, Redd Kross have maintained the highest level of musical integrity, originality and quality for over forty years.
