The BeatlesThe Beatles [White Album][EMI; 1968/2009]Links: The Beatles | EMI | Purchase The Beatles Remasters Posted by Sean Highkin on 10 September 2009 It's been said that the Beatles invented many rock cliches. How about this one: "This is a double album that would have been better if it had been edited down to a single LP." To be sure, there is some filler on the Beatles' eponymous White Al...

Okay, can I just be a total unoriginal for like ten seconds and talk about The Beatles??? I realize that for people who were actually alive when they played, our favorite boys may have been more impactful, but for at least one more modern teen (eg. ME), The Beatles have seriously changed my life. I just don't know how to explain it, but every single song seems to have one lyric or one note that...

I thought I might list some of my favourite albums over the decades starting with the 60s and now I'm coming to the conclusion that it's extremely difficult to narrow things down.However, I will trudge forward with my lists and post them as I finish.Perhaps you'll find some of your favourites here. Perhaps you'll question why I listened to them. Hopefully, it'll just lead to all of us listening

Would you be willing to fork over $2500 of your hard earned cash to prove it? Medicom teamed up with Silly Things and Kidrobot to create beautiful blue versions of Paul, John, Ringo and George. Each version stands at 27 inches tall, and personally I think the Ringo one is the best! This is a limited edition run and can only be bought as a set.I have always been a big fan of vinyl collectables, ...

The Beatles' accountants had bought 94 Baker Street as a financial investment for the group and it became temporary headquarters for Apple whilst 3 Savile Row [Rock Shrine 20] was being renovated. But what to do with it after that…Pattie Harrison was familiar with a Dutch group called The Fool, who had run a boutique in Amsterdam, so in September 1967, The Beatles gave them £100,000 to design

I do not remember if I have ever wished Good Ol' Mother Nature a Happy Mother's Day, but just in case.....Happy Mother's Day Mother Nature!

There are multiple interpretations as to the meaning of this song.I larned that the song was actually made up from parts of 3 incomplete songs.That explains the tempo changes.It is said that Lennon got the line Happiness Is A Warm Gun from seeing a Gun Magazine.For me the song has always clearly been about Lennon's mistress at the time, Heroin.Listening to the song the first line about the girl is

My cover of Happiness Is A Warm Gun from the White album. I did multiple layers of overdubs to get the additional vocals and harmonies to work.NOTE: Ignore the note at the beginning. You should be able to hear the proper stereo version right hear on MOG!

Can you believe the Beatles White Album is 40 years old?One of my all time favorites for sure. When I was 8 or 9 I bought it and played the heck out of it on my little portable plastic phono turnable.These songs are burned into my memory cells. Here's my first attempt at Cry Baby Cry and thanks to the Beatles Complete Chord Songbook for making it easy:

Back in April of 2007 Thorny 2 and I collaborated on an acosutic version of this song.This new version uses my same video with new electric guitar solos by Thorny2. We always talked about doing this one and finally got around to it!

This is my cover of the Beatles song from the White Album. Love that album. One of the first I bought as a kid. Just learned this one while recording so it's a bit rough but I like it that way.

I recently was listening to the White album and decided to put each Beatle's compositions onto their own separate playlists and compare them (guaranteed I'm not the first person to do this, or the first to post about it, but who cares). IMO, John blows Paul out of the water, but I am a tad biased towards John to start with.This is going to upset many Beatles fans (but who the hell is reading t...

The lowest numbered copy of the Beatles' White Album has been posted on eBay. According to the posting: Some years ago, this album was taken into the collectors shop named 'Vinyl Revival Records' in Newbury, Berkshire, England by a musician...

The song really speaks for itself, but you know that kind of tired you get when you start drinking at 1pm in the afternoon, down a few glasses of wine, then a lot of beer, eat too much, then kind of end up dozing on the couch? Yeah, that's me.Now, because of the holiday entertaining, every corner I turn holds some temptation that will only make matters worse - more beer, wine, chocolate (lots ...

This is from the White Album sessions. What I really like about this is that you get to hear George Martin (producer) discussing with Paul about how to evolve "Mother Nature's Son." Paul suggests that a string quartet would sound nice, and George M. says maybe it would be nice if it sounded like it's coming from the distance. Then John Lennon chimes in via speaker from the next room and suggest...
