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 contextualized ... MORE

There's a subset of Beatles fans who eagerly seek out the band's "rarities" - the various edits of "Christmas Time Is Here Again," for instance, or The Beatles' version of "Come and Get It," etc. But few of these enthusiasts, to my experience, have paid adequate attention to the original mono mixes, especially of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Magical Mystery Tour. I myself haven't heard either one since they inexplicably vanished from my record collection twe... MORE

From Bloomberg.com By Jeremy Gerard The news flash from Washington crossed my computer screen like a lightning bolt of reality ripping through the Joshua Light Show at a Grateful Dead concert. This was the disturbing story: Alcohol and drug use figure heavily in popular music, according to a study of lyrics to 279 songs presented yesterday at a conference of public health practitioners. As a result, the study revealed, impressionable teens are getting the impression ... MORE

Before anyone jumps down my throat, it's not my opinion, it's an article in today's Irish Times. Still, a pinch of salt to go with a generous helping of Beatles adulation does no harm. Just strange that the IT website lists this as an editorial piece... David Adams It has a few decent tracks, but they stand in stark contrast with the surrounding acres of self-indulgent, Goon-like nonsense. You simply do not find the likes of When I'm Sixty-Four, Lovely Rita, or the twi... MORE

Of course. You had to see it coming. Maybe not a psychedelic band per sé, but definitely the people responsible for teaching little billy how to "drop out."
The long standing rumor is that the title was code for LSD. Well if the drugs didn't give you flash backs, then Yellow Submarine probably did. I probably would have chosen I Am The Walrus, Glass Onion, or even Revolution #9 as trippier, but this is definitely one of the ground breakers.

The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and National Association of Record Manufacturers have come up with a list of the 200 albums they think everyone should own. It's pretty bad. I mean, who doesn't agree that Creed's Human Clay was a better record than London Calling by The Clash? the list can be found it the comments section. Hold your nose because it stinks.

Hello! Music quote captions for photos, yay or nay? "I get high with a little help from my friends..." Sometimes you get a reallllly good one, and it can be rather clever and everyone can relate because they all know that song... but sometimes it really sucks for that ONE person who doesn't know the song... I know what THAT feels like... it's poop. So I think music quotes (AND movie quotes) should be used with caution and prudence and awareness of the audience arou... MORE
