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...

Paul was just waiting for the big paydayPaul McCartney has signed a $400 million deal, which will see the Beatles catalog make its way to iTunes, at long last.Though McCartney will probably make off with the lion's share of the cash sum, Ringo Starr and the families of the late John Lennon and George Harrison will also benefit.

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. Now they won't be the versions that you typically hear on the radio now or pick up at your favorite CD shop but they will be close. Yet some...

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.

If not for the fact that they were arguably the greatest rock band ever, they might well be just another 60s band named after a creature. But no, The Beatles are The Beatles, and any referent outside of them is neither here nor there. Curiously, an image of a beetle was never to my knowledge employed in any graphic work associated with them. "I Am The Walrus" rarity boosted from courtesy o...

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 ...
