But tomorrow Malach has some stories about the Sox, game, and perhaps some fun pics of him and Josh Beckett.

I am Malach and I stood on Fenway's pitcher's mound.

Carry That Weight

Plugs
A couple today, first Sunshine 47 now up, entitled God's Tank, you will enjoy this one. Also in an attempt to make purchase of this website merchandise easier, I have started loading the stuff in my store. Another advantage to that is you can now see the rated PG13 and R t-shirts, that Zazzle won't show you unless you register, expect more soon. Also, thanks, this Zazzle store had been very successful.

The Mood of Red Sox Nation.
We are back to the winning ways, squeaking out a win vs. the Rangers. Now, some news. Malach is going to tomorrows game. Malach's unfied Special Olympics Softball Team has been chosen as a representative of MA Special Olympics to attend the game, batting practice, perhaps meet some players, and toss out the first pitch. The Red Sox are sponsoring a Disability Awareness night. Here a bit of Irony. My team is called Rick's Rangers (named after our coach). The Sox are playing the Texas Rangers. We will probably also get on TV sometime, so keep a lookout for Malach (6' about 225lbs, glasses, I will try to sneak in some type of ad for my site). Mood: Tossing out the first pitch.

You are listening too . .
The last 5 minutes of the side 2 melody on Abbey Road. The songs Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, and The End. This is how most of the word is used to hearing it, it is played this way on the radio. They are actually three seperate short songs, that fit extremely well together. We will go over each. This will also be the last songs I play off of that Album.

Golden Slumbers is the beginning progression and runs right into Carry That Weight. In fact both songs were recorded at the same time as a single piece. Golden Slumbers is based up the ballad of the same name by Thomas Dekker, and borrows heavily from the lyrics. McCartney saw the sheet music at his father's home, but being unable to read music, he was fascinated by the lyrics and went about creating his own arrangement. McCartney uses some very strong vocals in the mid part of the arrangement, and the song harkens to some of his solos hits of the 70's. The song fits beautifully in the time and place of this band. Lennon was not present for the recording owning to his auto accident, but did provide some vocal overdubs.

Carry That Weight is the climatic meledy that not only starts the end of the album, but also brings in a number of elements from early parts of the side 2 melody. It quickly segues into The End, with change of pace. The middle bridge of the song reprised You Never Give Me Your Money and also feature some rifts from Here Comes the Sun. This song again is about the break up of the Beatles; part of it is Lennon "carrying the weight" of guilt for his part of ending the band and Yoko coming in the middle, and the other part is McCartney reflecting upon himself taking on the majority of the business management of the band after Brian Epstein death, another contributing factor the bands demise. Many of the band members also echoed the sentiment that anything the every did solo, would never equal the whole, so the would always be "carrying the weight" of the Beatles.

The End is the last song to appear officially on the album (beyond a short 30 second "hidden" track), the last song of the melody, and one of the last songs ever recorded by the band. The song is very symbolic and interesting, all four Beatles have a solo in the song, including Ringo only drum solo he ever recorded. Ringo despises drum solos and had to be convinced to do it. They actually recorded the song with guitar accompaniment, but turned the volume down in mixing to get the effect of a drum solo. Each Beatles also has a guitar solo McCartney's poppy crunch (which has been heavily sampled in the hip hop community), followed by Harrison's techincal romp, followed by Lennon dirty feedback, you can hear each particular style in each solo. The song also ends with the famous line: And, in the end, the love you take; Is equal to the love you make. That line perhaps simply best describes the Beatles music and career.

More Chris Benoit
This is becoming almost and weird as the JFK assassination. The person who posted the death of Nancy Benoit 14 hours before they found her body, left a statement at Wikipedia today. You can read it here. It was also interesting to hear the first comments from Benoit's father, and comments from Chris Jericho and Bret Hart, friends of Benoit. It good actually to see Bret after his 2002 stroke.

YUUUCK
Veggie Booty. Seriously, what the hell kind of name is Veggie Booty? Story time. Malach full time employer has the largest food pantry in Southeastern MA. I work one floor above it.

There is a new multi part story in Tainted Love Erotic Stories, this one is part one of The Story of Jade. As always TLES is 18+. Also, The Poetry of Christopher has updated with a short but meaningful poem called Go Slowly. Also Sunshine has updated with a strip about love, number 46.

The Celtics Draft.
Man, Ainge traded away the number 5 pick, Szczerbiak, and Delonte West, for Ray Allen. WTF, you guys want no defense next year? Sure your gonna score 120 points a game and probably win the Atlantic Conference, but man. You picked up an guy who was injured most of '06 and 32 years old. If you made a trade I was hoping for Garnett, or keep the 5, trade Peirce and build around Jefferson, Green, Tony Allen and the number 5.

I hope this means, there is something else in the works, like someone who can actually play defense. If the aim was to win in the short term, this wasn't it.

The Mood of Red Sox Nation.
Once Again, we got a day off.

Woah . .
This is very interesting further info about Chris Benoit . . . Benoit Wiki entry was edited early Monday, stating he had missed some matches because of the death of his wife, hours before police even found the bodies, and the IP came from Stamford CT, corporate home of WWE. It would be interesting to see if Benoit edited them himself, by some sort of home log in to the WWE servers.

If you ever take a ride down I95 in CT. When you hit Stamford, look south, the WWE headquarters are right off the highway.

8 1/2 by Eleven updated, with episode number 548 more of the unrequited love Cinn has for Nillian.

Also there is a very well written article about recovery written by the recently ressurected Dr. Murk over at the WoW. Malach apologize for the tongue in cheek jokes he made in the comments section.

Also Just Me wrote a very intesting article at her blog, worth a read.

KMP Softball.
After Malach's worst pitching performance in 10 years, walking 6 batters in the first inning (I rarely do one) and giving up 7 I buckled down and we won 16 - 10. We are now 16 and 4, with 10 games left to play.

Prints of my work.
After a couple request, Malach is going to convert all his painting to prints at his Zazzle Gallery. You will find them all in my Art sub gallery. It will be many of the images you can see here and here. The beauty of Zazzle is they will put together any type of print you may want, based on you budget, you could spend as little as $10 or goes crazy and spend $500.

You are Listening too . . .
Polythene Pam, part of the 16 minute medley on the second side of Abbey Road. A very weird song, that follows Mean Mr. Mustard and runs into She Came in Through the Bathroom Window. A sort of Limerick type of song, Lennon admitted in the 1980 Playboy interview the song was about an evening Lennon spent with poet Royston Ellis and his girl friend Stephanie, the three wore polyethylene bags and slept together experimenting and exploring kinky sex. He also stated Ellis was the first person to show the Beatles how to get high, from the strips inside a Benzedrine inhaler.

The song is also linked lyrically to Mean Mr. Mustard, as it is stated in the song that Mr. Mustard has a sister named Pam. Another interesting feature is the song is sung in a Scouse accent.

More on Chris Benoit.
It is even more interesting to find out his son was diagnosed with Fragile X Syndrome and some of the things going around the family at the time . . . still there are A LOT of questions.

6.26.2007

Lots of plugs today . .

Ok, here we go, first some mature plugs. Tainted Love Erotic Stories updated with a little erotic poem called Cock. Again, I must stress TLES is in 18+. In addition an fairly mature Sunshine has been loaded, and if you don't like the F-word, or dead celebrities commiting beastiality, this one might not be for you. Sunshine number 45 is now up. Also there is a really funny new Tales of WoW called What Really Happened. It deals with the continuing saga of the supposed death of Dr. Murk.

Stool Sample Webhosting's Reading Room is also proud to annouce the addition of a new writer. The Poetry of Christopher has just been added as well as his first of many pieces, The Lampost. Some good stuff here buckos, enjoy.

In other fronts, the Wand of Wonder, went a bit nutty today. Malach added an article, in part which describes yesterday's KMP softball game, and our win over the first place team. We were missing a number of our regular KMP fans, and one left at the bottom of the sixth, so that is for those who were not there.

Chris Benoit.

Ok, I feel kind of stupid for my RIP post about him yesterday, but I guess I dont feel as dumb as the WWE and their three hour tribute. Benoit evidently went home on the Thurday or Friday telling WWE officials there was a family emergency, and his family was coughing up blood. After going home, he mothodically killed his wife by binding her and strangling her on Friday, soffocated the son on Saturday, then hung himself Sunday. In addition he placed Bibles beside each body. The WWE actually contact officials after recieving "strange text messages" from him on Sunday.

Overall a very bizzarre murder-suicide, too take the amout of time this took. In addition, authorities found prescription anabolic steriods in the home, but according to the WWE website, he was test in April and was negative. Yes, steroid can cause roid rage type incidents, but to spread it over the course of three days? Doesn't really make sense. It is too deliberate, right down to leaving Bibles by the body; too thought out to be roid rage. If it is steroids, well now, not only can pro-wrestling start a huge campaign about the evils of steroids, so can all sports. Additionally, new information has come out that his wife filed for divorce back in 2004, but they never went through with it, including a restraing order.

At least Vince McMahon has dropped the current storyline where he was killed, man I have spent hours trying to explain some of my clients he wasn't really dead.

I suppose I felt for Benoit, as he was always described, and came across as one of the good guys in the business, though very quiet and private. It will be interesting to see where this goes. I suppose "Don't make me go Benoit on you" t-shirts are not appropriate?

Livy in the Sky with Diamonds

Worked on it some more over the past two days, after not touching it for a few weeks (that happens). If you want all of the images together click here. As you can see, I have really begun to detail the main pieces, the figure, the butterfly, the patterning, and added a number of expressive peice of color.

As far as color goes, the expressive stuff is just instinct, using color theory. You can definitely see the piece begin to get to a finished stage, If I had three days straight to work on it maybe.

I still feel I need to add somethng to the piece, and I am thinking about adding a very techical pattern to the figures clothing. We'll see.

There is a new 8 1/2 by Eleven, number 547, and actually has a joke about copulation. There is also a new Fetus-X, this one is kind of above my head. Also after a few requests, I made the background image for the Ben Byrd story, Duty purchasable. You can find it here. As you can see it is fully customizable from size, paper quality, and framing.

Chris Benoit.
40 year old WWE superstar, his wife, and son were found dead today in their Atlanta home. Obviously this is a weird occurance, and an investigation had begun. Malach was a wrestling fan but hasn't been since 1998. Benoit was a awesome wrestler, tough as nails, and from what I understand a honest guy (strange in that business). Malach always liked his technical skill and tenacity, and how good he made his opponents look.

Unfortunately, Benoit (and his wife) just gets added to that long list of prowrestlers who died before their time. RIP "Snaggletooth".

You are listening too . . .
You Never Give Me Your Money, the opening song for their 16 minutes plus meledy ending the Abbey Road album. The song is penned by McCartney and deals directly with the Beatles money issues, and their lack of wanting to deal with them.

The song has some interesting tempo and styles changes, it begins with a classic ballad style, goes into a double time swing like session where McCartney goes into a barritone (some of readers in my age group will hear a lot of influence here on Radiohead, and Jane's Addition). A tight Harrison guitar compostion follows, that is then followed by a sing songy nursery sung over a Harrison track remiscient of Here Comes the Sun (Badge). The main riff to the song is later part of the Carry That Weight section of the meledy and it segues directly into Sun King.

The Meledy itself in very interesting. As stated previously it contains a number of short songs, developed during the White Album and Let It Be sessions, that were mostly unfinished. This song is then followed by 3 Lennon songs segueing into each other: Sun King, Mean Mr. Mustard, and Polythene Pam. Those in turn are followed by and segued by 4 McCartney songs: She Came in Through the Bathroom Window, Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, and the climax piece The End (notable for containing the recorded Ringo Starr drum solo). Many people not owning the album might not realize the last three songs are seperate songs, and nowadays classic rock stations play the three as a whole.

I always disagree ... when people end up saying that we can only combat Communism, Fascism or what not if we develop an equal fanaticism. It appears to me that one defeats the fanatic precisely by not being a fanatic oneself, but on the contrary by using one's intelligence. In the same way, a man can kill a tiger because he is not like a tiger and uses his brain to invent the rifle, which no tiger could ever do. ~ George Orwell

Got none for my website, but I will plug a few things. Excellent article from Just Me. What else . . Jerry was a race car driver? And you might also notice, the reincarnated Dr. Murk is stealing artwork.

Because you want to know what you are listening too . .

A beautiful song from Abbey Road, Because. A ballad written by John Lennon, it has obvious influence from the harmonies the Beach Boys made famous. It is a 3 part harmony vocal overdubbed 3 times making it 9 parts. Sung by Lennon, Harrison, and McCartney, this is the song that proceeds the extended 16 minute melody of short song on the second side of the album.

The song music is supposedly Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven played backward. While not completely true, and reverse playing of that song by Yoko One is the inspiration for the piece. Yoko played it backward for Lennon, and he wrote the lyrics around it, gradually chaning the music as the song evolved. The lyrics are very beautiful and pretty straightforward (a shock for a Lennon piece).

This was also the last song of the Abbey Road session to be commited to tape, arguably the last song recorded by the group. The song has a number of instruments not previously commonly used by the Beatles including it's signature electric harpsicord (played by George Martin), a traditional analog synthesizer, and of course the moog synthesizer. One of the first bands to record with a synthesizer, this song has a lot of elements of 80's new wave. It was for it's time a very daring recording as it was not easily pigeon holed in any style of current music.

Because Ben Byrd asked for it.

This was a background behind Duty.

I tossed it together for a background image kind of related to the story. Christopher should like this.

Because you need to know the mood.

Sox won yesterday, and increased their lead to 10.5. Yanks lost today, now it is 11. Down right now 1 - 0 in the 5th. Mood: Very Confident we will have a 12 game lead by the break.

First, Sunshine 44 is up, this is the first of the "very important" Sunshines Hex FedExed to me yesterday. If you are into the Chronic-iles of Narnia, you will like this one, and yes, I am sure Hex knows how to spell Asland correctly, it is part of the charm of the series. I also colored this one, and already made a t-shirt for it.

Also there are several other things you need to check out, including a art piece I made for the Deck of Many Things. Because the pic used the bodies of a number of my friends, and my wife, that has also been made into a tee.

There is also a anti-Guiliani WoW post from Malach up. Interestingly enough, one will notice the Deceased Dr. Robert J. Murk has commented on the post. That started a little mystery and then this. Can't keep a dead man deceased? We will see . . . .

Malach's Quote/Video of the Day
I wanted to sing other types of songs that Simon and Garfunkel wouldn't do. Mother and Child Reunion for example, is not a song that you would have normally thought that Simon and Garfunkel would have done. It's possible that they might have. But it wouldn't have been the same, and I don't know if I would have been so inclined in that direction. So for me it was a chance to break out and gamble a little bit ... The breakup had to do with a natural drifting apart as we got older and the separate lives that were more individual. We weren't so consumed with recording and performing. We had other activities ... there was no great pressure to stay together other than money, which exerted very little influence upon us. ... We didn't need the money. - Paul Simon

An Interesting Debate.

Christopher and I were discussing digital manipulation today, and how people like me, artists have a personal bias against it. My arguement is that that type of work, relys more on your programs than artistic skill. Pieces like at left, this took me about 15 minutes to put together using various filters, and art media type stuff.

Yeah, I guess I have a personal bias. It's cool and all, but was rather simple for me to do. Part of the debate was could someone get paid selling image like this? I am not totally sure, but I don't think so.

Any other opinions? Again, I am probably biased being a traditional artist.

You are listening too . . .

Here Comes the Sun, off Abbey Road, another extremely popular George Harrison composition. Interestingly, out of the three hits off of Abbey Road, Harrison penned two of them, the other we already explored with Something.

The songs genesis began with a songwriting collaboration Harrison had with Eric Clapton on the song Badge (you can hear that by clicking me), which was recorded by Clapton's groups Cream. Both songs feature a similar guitar rift. The final version of Here Comes the Sun was written in Eric Clapton's Garden while Harrison was avoiding Apple Records meetings. '69 was a difficult year for Harrison; he was arrested for marijuana possession, he had a severe case of tonsilitis, and he had also quit the band for a extended period. He wrote a song as an ending to this period, and perhaps could see the future of the Beatles in front of him. Many believe Harrison was inspired by the grueling Abbey Road shifts, and his sabbatical from Abbey Road Studios during those stressful sessions. At the time, everyone was just trying to get the album done, before their inevitable break up.

Harrison did the lead vocal, acoustic guitar, moog synthesizer, and the handclaps; McCartney: backing vocals, bass, and also handclaps; Ringo of course did the percussion. Lennon did not contribute, at the time he was recovering from a car accident. Various uncredited muscians played many of the backing orchestral instruments.

Here Comes the Sun is argueably Harrison's most beloved song and was voted so in 2006 by GeorgeHarrison.com. Harrison, who's songs before that had a fairly melocholy dourness to them, reversed with this song (and some of his later solo stuff). It was a very positive, upbeat song, without shmaltzy. Also, as the begining of the second side of the album, it made a nice fresh start (something that is lost with the CD age).

The Mood of Red Sox Nation.

Day off . . . and the Yanks lost three in a row, to fall back to 10.5 behind. And Clemens lost again. There is also a interesting article here about Carl Pavano; man does he make the Matt Clement signing look good.

Their rotation is set up right now with a day off, where they can skip Schilling, and not break the rotation, and then they can either bring up Daverne Hansack, Kayson Gabbard, or even John Lester (Lester I doubt they would bring up for one start), and get quality start. These guys along with Clay Buckholds are the arms of the future. They are also still 9 up on the second place Yanks.

Malach's Silver Hammer.
I just realized I forgot to tell about Malach's Silver Hammer. First, Geek Alert. Malach is a RPG character I have been using for about 20 years. Know jokingly as Malach the Merciless, full name Malach diMedici. I always revive Malach when I roll really well in character creation, the latest version of Malach was in D20 Dungeons and Dragons and had an 18, a 17, 2 16's, and everything else was above 12. He is always a Mage. His one quirk he always had was his weapon of choice, a warhammer. In one of his most powerful incarnations was in MERP. In that he was some ungodly level, developed spells whose effect included liquefying an groups of enemies skeletons, and had a ultra power warhammer of disintegration and returing.

You are Listening too . . .
Octopus's Garden from Abbey Road. The song was mostly written by Ringo, with a small amount of assitance from Harrison. It was only the second song Starr had ever written, and the second to appear on a Beatles album, and perhaps his best know song.

Starr's inspiration was a boat trip in Sardinia, he was offered Octopus for lunch, which he turned down. The Captain began to relate a story to him how Octopi spend their day on the bottom of the ocean collecting shiny things for their nests. The song is thought to be part of the small collection of Children's songs The Beatles wrote (the other being Yellow Submarine, The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill, All Together Now). The song has been performed by the Muppets, The Wiggles, and Raffi, which futher propogates the notion. The song and many of the other mentioned can also easily be associated with psychoative drugs.

There are a couple of interesting sounds, included McCartney and Lennon's vocals compressed to create a gurgling sound, and Starr adding the sound of bubbles being blow into a glass. The charm of the song lies in it's simplicity and limted over production. It is about a retreat from the hectic life, and one into beauty, happiness, and safety.

The Mood of Red Sox Nation.
Look, they are on a roll, and then a 48 minute rain delay. They are back on though, and Beckett's pitching a gem. Hopefully Schill just has a tired arm, he will go on the 15 day DL, and we bring Lester up. Mood: Let's close it out Beckett.

This is weird.
Of course I think we know where this will all end up.

Paul is Dead.
This seems a good time to begin the Paul McCartney is dead urban legend that developed in 1969. I am going to give you a summary and point you to some weird and interesting website who specialize in this.

Basically the legend contends that McCartney died in 1966 and was replaced by a look-a-like and sound-a-like. Evidence and clues are found in the various Beatles recordings after 1966, supposedly diliberately placed there, and also hidden in backmasking, and clues are found in the art and album covers (perhaps the most famous in McCartney walking barefoot on the Abbey Road cover).

It has never been clear if this was a joke, or created conspiracy, and how much The Beatles themselves had to do with the initial beginning of it (and how much they propogated it).

The rumor began in earnest on October 12, 1969 when someone phoned radio DJ Russ Gibb indentifying himself as Tom and annouced McCartney was dead. He then asked Gibb to play Revolution 9 backward and supposedly Gibb heard the exclamation "Turn me on dead man".

A couple of University of Michigan students then published a review of Abbey Road and called it: McCartney Dead; New Evidence Brought to Light. In the article the published "clues" based upon Beatles Album covers, and the piece appeared in the Michigan Daily 2 days after the incident with Gibb. Gibb also produced a television documentary appearing about a month later called The Beatle Plot. It was aired on Detroit area television.

The rumor really gained momentum when it was discussed on a New York based top-40 station about October 20th. A powerful WABC station, it signal could be picked up in 38 states, and supposedly could even be heard on the extreme East Coast of Africa. Of course it was then picked up national and internationally by the news, and quickly became a new "Beatle craze".

The most common tale is that on Wednesday, November 9, 1966 at 5 am, McCartney, while working on the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, stormed out of a recording session after an argument with the other Beatles and rode off in his Austin-Healey. "He didn't notice that the lights had changed" (A Day in the Life) because he was busy watching the pretty girl on the pavement (Lovely Rita) after narrowly missing her dressed in blue (she's the blur on the back of Abbey Road) jaywalking (Blue Jay Way). He then crashed into a light pole (a car crash sound is heard in Revolution 9). He was pronounced dead on a "Wednesday morning at 5 o'clock as the day begins" (She's Leaving Home), and nobody found out this because the news was withheld: "Wednesday morning papers didn't come" (Lady Madonna). A funeral procession was held days later (as implied in the Abbey Road album cover).

There is no hard evidence for a crash, though McCarney's mini cooper was wrecked by a fried in January of 1967. McCartney himself got into a moped accident the day after X-Mas 1965, which left a noticble scar on his upper lip.

Accodingly, McCartney was replaced by a winner of a look-a-like contest named William Shears Campbell (Billy Shears is the leader of Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club band). Bass Muscians also noted a playing style change in McCartney after 1966, of course the entire music recording of Beatles changed as well.

These rumors, kind of petered out in the mid 70's but have found new life with the advent of the internet. There are a number of supposed clues, and there is good listing about 350 at this site (trust me, you can spend hours at some of these links). You can also go to Iamaphony's youtube account, and he's got a series of about 40 videos about McCartney's death. There is some interesting photo comparisons here, and if you's like a fresh look, go here.

As promised The Wraith has been updated with episode 4.6. First, I need to disappoint a number of fans of The Wraith. It is going on hiatus. The main reasons for this are: Lack of time with the web design and commission art I am doing; and I need to focus on my 2 most popular webcomics, JesusMan! and Fat Bug. Now, that does not mean The Wraith is not popular; it is actually the third most popular comic in the Stool Sample Family. It is just right now, JesusMan! and Fat Bug are more popular and make me more money, and something had to give.

Now, I don't know how long it will be on hiatus . . . that depends mainly if this site becomes full time job in the future. This will allow me to update the two other webcomics more efficiently, and hopefully get 6 - 8 episodes a year out for you guys. The next will be Fat Bug.

Happy Father's Day.
To my Dad, and all my friends who are Dads (surprisingly there are not that many). I supposed Maxwell's Silver Hammer is an appropriate Father's Day song, no?

You are listening too . .
Another of those strange Beatles songs, Maxwell's Silver Hammer. A mostly McCartney tune, and once again he shows a bit of his silly humor. It is done in a Vaudevillian style and about a medical student Maxwell Edison who basically goes on a killing spree with a hammer. Despite the subject matter, the song in happy and bouncy, and as George Harrison described it a "bit fruity". Many critics saw this as a subconcous allegory by McCartney regarding the Manson Murders. McCartney himself just describes it as an allegory for the downfalls of life:

"Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is my analogy for when something goes wrong out of the blue, as it so often does, as I was beginning to find out at that time in my life. I wanted something symbolic of that, so to me it was some fictitious character called Maxwell with a silver hammer. I don't know why it was silver, it just sounded better than Maxwell's hammer. It was needed for scanning. We still use that expression now when something unexpected happens."

McCartney did everything he could to make the song a single, but it never was. Also according to Lennon, The Beatles spent the most money of any song on Abbey Road, on this song. Most of the band was not particularly thrilled with the song, and this can be seen in the Let It Be movie.
McCartney can be heard semi-laughing during the song as it seem Lennon mooned him while recording.

As for my blog title, Malach's Silver Hammer, only a few people will get that.

Something off of Abbey Road. Something was the only George Harrison composition to appear on as an A-side single and the only one to top the American Charts. Both Lennon and McCartney praised the song and the best ever written by Harrison. It also is the second most covered Beatles song of all time.

Something was developed during the recording of The White Album, and based in part of the James Taylor song, Something in the Way She Moves. Most of the White Album was done by the time Harrison had completed the melody of the song, and during a break of editing, began to write the lyrics.

There is some confusion as to what the song is about, most assuming it is about Harrison's the wife Pattie Boyd, and Harrison had told people the song was actually about Ray Charles (Harrison's dry humor). This is interesting as Pattie Boyd might be the woman who has had the most hit songs written about her. Something, Layla, Bell Bottom Blues, Wonderful Tonight are a just a few. As for Pattie herself, pretty hot no?

The original idea was not for the Beatles to record the song, and the song was given to Joe Cocker who released a version of the song 2 months before the Beatles version who had begun to seriously work on it from Abbey Road. The orignal recording was more than 8 minutes long eventually to cut the point it was released at.

Harrison himself has been pretty dismissive of the song, but Lennon called it the best song on the album. By the time they shot the video (I will post it below), they had broken so far apart, they shot the video of the 4 of them in seperate locales and edited it together.

Some of the diverse covers of the song come from Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Shirley Bassey, Elvis, The O'Jays, James Brown, Tony Bennet, Perry Cuomo, and Smokey Robinson. Sinatra was especially impressed with the song and called it "the greatest love song ever written" and his "all time favorite Lennon-McCartney song" (he even introduced it that way for years).

Come Together off The Beatles Album, Abbey Road. Even though Abbey Road was released before Let It Be, it was the last album to be recorded by The Beatles before their break up. It is considered one of their most tightly constructed albums, even though by this point they were hardly a conhesive band.

After the disaster of the Get Back/Let It Be recordings, McCartney suggested to George Martin that they get back together and create an album just like in the old days, before the band began to disintegrate with The White Album. The Beatles, who at this time all agreed this would probably be their last recording together, agreed to "go out on a high note". The two album sides had highly different characters with side one a collection of single tracks, and side two contains essentially a 16 minutes medley of interconnected short songs, both finshed and unfinished, mainly from the White Album and Let It Be recording sessions. For example many people are used to hearing Golden Slumbers and Carry Weight played together, but they are actually seperate songs.

Why? Many cite Lennon having little involvement on this album, and McCartney wanting to tie a few things up with these remaining Lennon and McCartney shorts. Lennon had actually left the Beatles before finishing up Abbey Road.

This was also the only album recorded by The Beatles on an 8 track recorder one of the reasons for the overall better sound of this album to previous ones. It was also the only one recorded on a solid state soundboard giving it a much rawer sound. It made entensive use of a recent technology, the Moog Synthesizer.

Abbey Road is also famous for it's album art, perhaps the most famous and oft parodied album cover of all time, and a central feature of the Paul is Dead urban legends (more on that later).

Come Together is the opening track on the album and a straight out 70's rocker before 1970. It was written by Lennon, and began with an attempt at writing a theme for Timothy Leary's CA gubenatorial campaign (vs. of all people Ronald Reagan). Of course Leary got arrested for drug possession and sent to prison (yeah, they called him Tricky Dick for a reason). It was transformed into a track that digs at both McCartney and Harrison and also references Yoko and Bagism.

Lennon played rythmn guitar and and sang lead vocal for the track. The exclamation you hear of "Shoot" during the open bassline is actually "Shoot me"; the me is drowned out by a handclap. McCartney played bass and electric piano, Harrison lead guitar, and Ringo all the percussion.

Aerosmith did a extremely popular cover of the song in the late 70's, and many people recognize that version sometime more often than the Beatles original. It would be remembered as Aerosmith's last top 40 hit until the late 80's a decade later.

Another Malach fave, Ballad of John and Yoko. This was a single released prior to Abbey Road, and recorded during the Get Back session which would basically turn into eventually Let It Be/Abbey Road.

Before we start a little bit about the Get Back sessions. By the end of '68 and the release of The Beatles, McCartney was eager to perform in public again. The other band members, most especially Harrison were very resistent. A compromise was the the band would shoot a television concert in some location and later release the recording as a live album.

The live performance/recording did occur on January 30th of 1969, their famous Apple Building rooftop concert, that was eventually shut down by the police after 20 or so minutes but several of the recorded song did make it onto the Let It Be album.

The Beatles ended up recording hundreds of hours of recordings at Twickenham Studios including a number of songs that would appear on Abbey Road, a number would appear on Beatles solo albums, and a bunch of cover songs.

Those sessions were consider disasterous by all the band members and the groups even discussed breaking up 3 days into the sessions. Lennon was extremely dissatisfied and fighting a growing heroin addiction, and he was eager to explore his solo music. Yoko One being a constant presence at everything John was doing, was at was also a strain on their relationships. McCartney's attempts to keep the band together comes across as controlling. Harrisom walked out on the band for an extended period. Things were so bad, George Martin was reluctant to work on Abbey Road unless things were assured to be better.

So interestingly, the album which was to become Let It Be, was recorded before Abbey Road. But because of The Beatles dissatisfaction with the album; it went through 2 producers, 3 to 4 different final pressings, until you got the Phil Spector produced one you hear today, but that is a later story.

Ballad of John and Yoko was a song, primarily written by Lennon, and only recorded by Lennon and McCartney. Lennon had a inspiration for the song, and instead of waiting for Harrison (who was on vacation), and Starr (who was filiming a movie) recorded it themselves.

The song chronicles fairly obviously, the events surrounding Lennon's marriage to Yoko Ono and their subsequest activities together including the Bed In, their honeymoon, and their bagism philosophy.

Lennon did the lead, played lead and acoustic guitar, while McCartney did the harmony, bass, drums, piano, and maracas.

The song was banned by several US stations for the use of the word "Christ" and the phrase "They're gonna crucify me". Also it was banned in Spain, because of the line saying Gibraltar was near Spain, and that was a hot button issue for that country in 1969.

You are Listening too . . .
Revolution 9, a 8 minute long, experimental, avant garde sound collage off The White Album. Yes it is rather disturbing, and bothers many people who have listened to it. Very dark also, it is actually very hard and uncomfortable to listen to the entire piece, but try it. This piece marked the the peak of the bands studio experimentation and for a pop music album was unprecedented. The recording was actually begun as an ending to Revoltion 1 and developed into a Musique concrète and sound collage highly influenced by the likes of John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen futher manipulated with editing and sound modification (if you have stereo sound to can hear the panning and fading). The piece is rife with tape loops, vocal and music sound clips, sound effects, and strange noises. As with Revolution the them of the piece is the 1968 French riots, and the piece in an attempt to get the feeling and violence of those riots. At just over 8 minutes long it is the longest Beatles track ever released.

McCartney had little to do, and perhaps nothing to do with the track, and it was the brainchild of Lennon and Harrison, Starr, and Yoko Ono and made varying degrees of contributions. Ono's obvious avant garde's influences are obvious in the track, and McCartney and George Martin were both against releasing the track on the album, but Lennon won out.

The song structure begins with a breif piano intro, and then is followed by the oft repeated "Number 9" loop which fades in and out (and left and right) as a motif of the piece. There is choas, screamng, crowd sounds, feedback, unrehearsed overdubs, and continued tape looping that follows.

Portions of the song are recordings of Beethoven and Sebilius and the piece is one of the earliest examples of sampling (many people don't realize the huge influence the Beatles had on rap and hip hop). Other bits of audio include nonsensical rambling, various food and swallowing sounds, reversed recordings, and NFL chants of all things.

This mix of sound had not only heavy influence on the later "Paul is Dead" controversy, but also Charlie Manson drew odd interpretations from the sound collage, and related Revolution 9 to Revelation 9 (hey Martin Luther, your were right in the money with your opinion about Revelation).

Interestingly, McCartney recorded a similar piece around 13 minutes long called Carnival of Light. A year or so early that thus far has never been released, and very few people have ever heard.

If you would like some more on this song, there is a interesting blow by blow of the entire piece here, and a pretty in depth analysis here. You can also go here and play around with some of the tape loops. And if you want to really drive yourself batty some guy here re-recorded it backward.
