I think it is time for another seven songs that I have been digging lately. It has been about two months since our last seven songs post.
List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs [...]

Now this is an interesting tale. Apparently, in a parallel dimension other than our own, The Beatles never broke up at the end of the 60’s. Even better, an anonymous fan managed to transcend the boundaries between our two dimensions and smuggle back some evidence in the form of a simple cassette tape. This tape [...]

Two years ago I posted the mono version of The Beatles‘ legendary Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. It was a very popular post, however there was one thing that I didn’t include back then: the album in it’s lossless FLAC format.

Back in 1968, The Beatles were reaching the end of their careers as a band. Each member had their own thing going for the most part as arguments in the studio grew more and more rampant. John Lennon was widely considered the most stubborn of the lot.

On this day back in 1986, albums by The Beatles were made available for the first time on Russian shelves. In 2003, Paul McCartney performed the first rock concert in Red Square, Moscow. This is his performance of “Back in the USSR”, originally from The Beatles’ White Album, from the show…

Yes. The entire hour-long made for TV The Beatles film. Forty years ago today, the film premiered on BBC1 to a very, very negative response. A key problem with the original airing of the special is that they did it in black and white… whereas the film relies pretty heavily on being shown in color. [...]

So today is Jay-Z’s birthday. He’s a big player in the hip-hop scene. A few years back, he released an album called The Black Album (Buy CD | Download). Another hip-hop player, though significantly more underground than Jay-Z, by the name of Danger Mouse got an idea. An entire album mashing Jay-Z’s The Black [...]
