The BROW series continues this week with a studio out-take from the Wings London Town sessions. Despite the album title, much of this album was recorded in the Virgin Islands on Paul's yacht Fair Carol during May 1977 and Waterspout was most likely one of the tracks they worked on there. It was near this period when the line-up of Wings was reduced to just Denny Laine, Linda McCartney and Paul so it is not clear if drummer Joe English and guitarist Jimmy McCulloch particip... MORE

It's too bad, but all chapters in the Beatles' careers cannot be success stories. Back in 1986 there is a good example of this when George Harrison's Handmade Films produced the movie Shanghai Surprise starring then-newlyweds Sean Penn and Madonna. George even had a cameo in the movie as a nightclub singer and recorded several songs for the movie soundtrack. Unfortunately the film was such a flop that the soundtrack was never released. In fact the title song for the film by G... MORE

Lordy, lordy - i've got 65 pages of posts on MOG . And a lot of them have links to pics or PDF or MP3 files that i uploaded to my website server. Unfortunately, all of those links are obsolete, since i managed to let my original domain (electronictiger.com) expire, and had to reregister as electronictiger.net. So i've begun working my way through all of those old poste, rewriting the links to point in the right direction. So far i've done the posts on... MORE

Live Beatles recordings tend to have the ever-present manic screaming overpowering the music - here they are in Paris on 20 June 1965 with Paul practising his o-level French to good effect

The BROW is coming to you early this week due to me being in travel mode for the rest of the week. This version of Paul's She Came In Through The Bathroom Window was recorded at a rehearsal at Apple studios on Jan. 29, 1969 during the Get Back sessions, just one day before the infamous rooftop gig seen in the Let It Be film and well before it saw it's final form on the Abbey Road album released some eight months later. The tempo is much slower and bluesier here and there is... MORE

According to Rolling Stone Magazine The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the greatest album of all-time. Not many people would disagree that this album is up there as one of the greatest. Well, if you had to pick the most epic song from that album (perhaps the most epic in the Beatles catalogue) it would without a doubt have to be the album's final track, number 13, Lennon/McCartney's "A Day In the Life."
The lyrics are so simple and they are presente... MORE

Welcome to BROW . Back in 1997 when George Harrison showed up for an interview at VH1 studios no one expected a performance since he hadn't toured the U.S. since the mid 70's. He was accompanied by Ravi Shankar and his wife Sukanya and then it was noticed that someone in their entourage was carrying around a guitar case. The interviewer, VH1 correspondent John Fugelsang didn't waste anytime asking George if he would do a song or two. After performing an Indian song with ... MORE

Many of us came to the conclusion last week that 2 minutes and 42 seconds is the perfect length for a pop song, after reading a post by Joshua Allen posted this article on The Morning News.
According to Wired.com's Listening Post there's been a bit of a brou-ha-ha over the very originality of the idea for that article.
Apparently John Scalzi, of the blog "Whatever" posted a similar theory in December of 2004. So is a blog post like a melody, picked up and re contex... MORE

RIAA escapes sanctions, drops case against homeless man
So far we've had grandmothers, dead people, disabled single mothers, and today, we can add another category to the list of those targeted by the RIAA : the homeless. Earlier this week, the RIAA decided to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit against Chaz Berry after learning he was living in a homeless shelter—but not until after a magistrate judge denied an earlier motion for summary judgment and recommended sanctions ag

I was flipping through the records I have and came across my lovely beatles album...I have listened to this album time and time again but never really read the lyrics in detail..I was reading and the one song that stuck with me was this one ...Here are the lyrics
We were talking-about the space between us all
And the people-who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth-then it's far too late-when they pass away.
We were talking-about the love we al... MORE

On January 30th, 1969 after going two and a half years without a concert performance, The Beatles climbed out on the roof of their Apple Headquarters in London to perform a surprise concert that was also to be their last public performance as a group. Fifteen and a half months later when the Let It Be album was finally released, it contained three songs from this show: Dig A Pony, One After 909 and I've Got A Feeling. This week's BROW is a studio rehearsal of the latter tra... MORE

This week BROW , covered by Paul McCartney was first a big hit by Guy Mitchell in 1956. All of The Beatles were suckers for these old rock 'n' roll standards and rightfully so. Paul did this one on June 6th 1993 at a live soundcheck in Exhibition Stadium in Toronto, Ontario during his 1993 World Tour. The accordion played by his long time bandmate 'Wix' Wickens adds a slightly homier feel to the song. A couple years later on June 11, 1995 it was broadcast on Paul's radio ser... MORE
