So I gotta admit I haven't been their biggest fan since I discovered Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin when I was a kid. But at the sametime they were one of the biggest 20th century turning points in recorded music history. They were one of the first Rock 'N' Roll hippie long hairs from what I remember.Plus they drove the girls wild like that crazy Elvis, right mom! Grandma to you younguns LOL! A...

Happy New Year! I decided to try something different this month for the BROW. Usually for the rarity I will feature something that has never been officially released. However for the next 4 weeks I am only going to post songs that were officially released.

Here I've posted the audio solution. I'm happy to credit both crowleyal and FastRMacR for being the first to post the correct answer last week. They both pointed out the extra measure that occurs just before John's "Yellow matter custard" line and that this was the version on the single and now you can hear the comparison (a few second of the differing part of the single followed by the same pa...

But no, The Beatles are The Beatles, and any referent outside of them is neither here nor there.

While the latest Beatles remixes are stirring up some strong reactions, go give another listen to Jim Carey's rendition of "I Am The Warlus" on George Martin's "In My Life", a collection of Beatle cover songs whose only memorable track is Carey's, Much to Carey's credit, and George & son's shame, he does admit on the fade out that "There I've done it! I've defiled a timeless work of art!" If ...

Following on from posting The Dukes of Stratosphear’s ‘The Mole From the Ministry’ earlier today, I thought it would be nice to throw down the Beatles’ ‘I Am the Walrus’, so comparisons can be made.Musically, ‘The Mole From the Ministry’ borrows elements of both ‘I Am the Walrus’ and ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’, [...]Post from: Head Full of SnowThe Beatles – I Am the
