A couple of plugs today.
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.
Well always have Paris.

Lots of plugs today . .
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.

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

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.I am Malach and lil' darlin' it seems like years since it's been here.

You are listening too . .
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.

So Malach doesn't get HBO anymore, at the old house he used to steal it, but now . . I miss the Sopranos, and will get them all on DVD sooner or later. I love to listen to these idiots not understand the show, how it is now all about, gangsters, and violence. David Chase has flimed some of the most intriguing dream sequences ever, and his plots are fantastic. Many people are pissed about the ending. Basically Tony goes into a resturant with the family, and it fades to black with the potential that something could of happened. I love it. You see, this show was about life, and that ending is life.

As many of you know, Malach is a pretty good slowpitch softball player. Not only is he a good pitcher, but he is also a pretty good batter. I am currently batting in the low .600's, and my lifetime average is about that.
Now, strike outs do occur in slow pitch softball, Malach usually pitches 5 -10 a year. Malach has struck out also in the past, and he did for the first time in about 3 years Wednesday. Count was 3 balls and 2 stikes, low arc, I thought it would hit before the strike zone, clipped the edge . . . don't worry, weird game, I struck out 2 of their batters (both with Knuckle Balls, nasty wind). That is 5 for the year and we aren't even halfway through the season.

Mother Nature's Son a ballad written and recorded completely by Paul McCartney and appearing on The White Album. McCartney completely recorded the song without the three other Beatles.
A teaching about nature by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi while on their trip to India kind of stuck with McCartney, and this song is based on that teaching. It was written completely in India. It is a hymn like folk song, with McCartney's pop slant and very similar to Blackbird, but more highly produced. A very subtle arrangement of acoustic guitar, minimal percussion, brass, and some tapping.
This song song also begins to show some of the back to nature hippie influence Linda Eastman was having on him.

No game tonight, and yet again, another weekend series with the Yankees at fenway.
Speaking of the Yankees.
Not only does it seem A-Rod is screwing around in his wife, it seems yesterday that he yelled "Mine" or "Hah" while running base as the Toronto 3rd baseman and Short Stop were trying to field a fly ball, causing them to stop and the ball to drop. It is interesting to read and hear some of the reactions to the incident on the field, especially from his team mates. All the years I have played baseball and softball, I don't think I have ever seen something like this, but again, it is up to the player to also catch the ball.
What is going to be really interesting is when A-Rod opts out, and the Sox make move for him. This is about the most hated man in Boston . . .

But looking at other Nessie video on YouTube, I found one of the best cryptozoology video ever, the Patterson BigFoot video, and this one cleaned up by computer. I remember first seeing this as a kid, it really freaked me out, as this is very realistic and natural.

Sunshine number 37 is also up and I must say, I couldm't disagree with Hex more on this one. Also Malach posted a short article at the WoW, some of you might enjoy.
More Beatles.
Aound the time this album was released, many things in the Beatles lives began to change. The big one being Brian Epstein's death. Lennon got divorced, McCartney and Jane Asher finally ended their stormy relationship, Yoko Ono and Linda Eastman enter the picture, Yellow Submarine the movie premiered, the Beatles went to India, and finally, in January of '69, they began filing and recording Let It Be (recorded before Abbey Road, but we will get into that).
Again the major event was Brian Epstein's death. Espstein had this gift, of keeping the Beatles egos in check and smoothing over hurt feelings, he also handled their business affairs admirably. After his death, no one filled that void. Epstein was perfect at reducing Lennon's ego, buttering up Harrison about his lack of songs on albums, and softening McCartney's almost militaristic psuedo-leadership.
After his death, some further events exacerbated Epstein not being there. Yoko came into the picture, and Lennon refused to leave her side, and they began collaborating artistically. This lead to other girlfriends and wives also being there. Epstein was always adamant about that not occuring, and now no one was there they respected enough to listen too.
For a replacement for Epstein, McCartney wanted Lee Eastman (his soon to be wife Linda's father) as their manager, where the rest of The Beatles wanted super manager Allen Klein. In the past decision like this were always unanimous (with Epstein smoothing out what was in the bands best interest) but this time it was a 3 - 1 vote. After this album it becomes a bit of a quick downward spiral so hold on.

The Fool on a Hill
Plugs.
A few today. Let's start with the kids. My daughter has some new artwork up, man she is talented, she is going to blow aways her dad by the time she is 16. My son also has some new stuff up. His art is interesting, not the raw talent of the girl, but has some pretty awesome technical know how, loves to invent and experiment with media.
8 1/2 by Eleven 528 is also up, and Nillian is must less whiny in this one. Also something interesting to check out at The Deck of Many Things.
You are listening too . . .
The Fool on the Hill. This is not only from the album, but an acutually song from the Magical Mystery Tour Album. Also a request from my kids today. Out of the movie soundtrack perhaps the best song (although I am partial to I am the Walrus). Analyzing the album, it can be noted that without the addition of the second side, the previously released singles, this would not be a particualrly good album.
Fool shows a interesting depature toward some of their later softer music in the vein of Blackbird, Golden Slumbers, etc. Mainly written by McCartney, there are several thoughts about the songs influence. McCartney himseld stated: "'Fool On The Hill' was mine and I think I was writing about someone like the Maharishi. His detractors called him a fool. Because of his giggle he wasn't taken too seriously... I was sitting at the piano at my father's house in Liverpool hitting a D6th chord, and I made up 'Fool On The Hill'." McCartney's friend, Alistair Taylor recalls that him and McCartney were on Primrose Hill, debating the existence of God, and a strange man suddenly appeared walking with them, and then disappeared soon after not saying a word.
The song went through several incarnation, at first a McCartney Solo piece. Overddubs were added a few days later, and harmony vocals, creating almost a completely different song. The song sat around for about a month, and then the amazing flute trio was added, as well as a bassline.
The flutes were done by the brothers Christopher and Richard Talor and Jack Ellory. The main flute part is a three part harmony that gets that amazing sound. The song ends in a sort of abrupt way, which is intentional.
