The Beatles final album I will explore, Let It Be. Most of Let It Be was recorded before Abbey Road was recorded, but the Beatles were unhappy with the album, our old buddy Phil Spector re-produced the album about a year after it was made, and it became the last album beyond compilations, and box sets, The Beatles released.

Without rehashing the story of these albums, Wikipedia has a pretty article on the finer points of it's development, the numerous production attempts, the bands almost disintegration and such. By the time Spector had gotten a hold of the album, with McCartney's reluctant agreement, The Beatles had all but officially broken up. The album was intially supposed to be a sort of live studio album, with accompanying film. Spector did try to recreate some of that, but McCartney especially was deeply dissastified with the album, Lennon stated: "He was given the shittiest load of badly-recorded shit with a lousy feeling to it ever, and he made something of it." Kind of a compliment.

Interestingly enough, the album is a mix for critics and fans, some really hate it, some like, some are king of so so. Personally Malach enjoys the album very much, thought nowhere near his favorite.

The song we listen to today is Two of Us, a rather interesting song, that might be the final Lennon-McCartney actual collaboration, though both claimed ownership of the song. The song was done as a duet, a rarity in the Beatles catalogue, and while the song is partially about McCartneys courting his soulmate Linda Eastman, it also seems to address the faltering relationship between singers which at the time of the recording was extremely tense.

The song started out as a rocker, but as McCartney worked more on the composition it became much quieter and introspective. It is most acoustic guitar, with a short electric component, and a soft percussion beat. Lennon shouts out "'I Dig a Pygmy', by Charles Hawtrey and the Deaf Aids... Phase One, in which Doris gets her oats!". The shout was mixed in by Spector. The Deaf Aids, was a play on words, that the Beatles nicknamed their amplifiers.

Some updates tonight. First there is a new 8 1/2 By Eleven, episode 545. Second Tainted Love Erotic Stories was updated with the next part of Along the Road (Chapter 3). Again TLES is rated 18+. And finally, a very well written and a bit heartrenching story from Ben Byrd called Duty. While I don't want to give too much away it is a bit of a personal story about a family pet.

Let see, Beckett looked freaking awesome last night, and they are up 7 - 0 right now. Schill like I said yesterday is going on the 15 day DL, tired sholder, slight discomfort, no structural damage. Don't be surprised if the hold him out until after the All Star Break. 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.

Mood: Ain't depth great?

Ohh Dubya.

We begin our journey into the album simple entitled The Beatles (Aka The White Album). Now, before I give some background, this is Malach's favorite Beatles album and what I consider the best album of all time. Again that can be argued. What I like about this album is the influence it has had on modern music, and music of the 70's, 80's, and 90's. The Beatles, moved back toward guitar based rock, and this is perhaps there most experimental album. The Beatles heavily influence 70's rock from the Eagles, Led Zepplin, and the Sex Pistols; was a huge influence on the 80's new wave, Sonic Youth, U2, REM, and Fugazi; and influence on Guns and Roses, Public Enemy, Nirvana, Pearl Jam and most of the music of the late 80's early 90's. Even today, it has an influence on musicians as diverse as Beck, Jay-Z, The OutKast, Jimmy Eat World, and many other musicians. After the Beatles broke all the rules with previous albums, they kind of restructured them for everyone who came after to follow with The Beatles.

This is the best selling Beatles album of all time and the ninth best selling album overall in US history. This album took almost a year to make, and turned into a double album. It also marked abandoning of the Hippie psychedelic style, and a move toward the drug infused rock of the 70's. This Beatles also began to show the very diverse and almost divergent songwriting styles of the three main songwriting members. Lennon's hard edges lyrics, McCartney's piano based ballads, and Harrison's guitar driven ballads. In addition, while time passed for creation of this album, each member began writing solo stuff. Lennon's Jealous Guy, McCartney's Junk, and Harrison's Not Guilty were all written in this time period and later appeared on their solo albums.

Tension and factions began to grow within the group during this time (several things influenced this, I will expand on it more in tomorrow's blog): Epstein's death, their first real artistic and financial failure with the Magical Mystery Tour movie, and a disillusioned Lennon returning from their trip to India. Also, in fighting over who should be the group's new manager, new business ventures with Apple, and Yoko Ono become Lennon's girlfriend and artistic partner added to some of the tension. Ono was constantly with Lennon, and for the first time, girlfriends, wives, and significant others were allowed into the recording studio (many of the songs have backing vocals from Ono, Linda Eastman, Patty Harrison, and others). McCartney and Lennon would at times record in seperate studios, and George Martin's studio authority over the band waned. Additionally, Starr walked out on the band for a period of two weeks. The rest of the band pleaded with him to return, but still recorded Back In the USSR and Dear Prudence with McCartney on drums.

Many of the songs turned out to be very personal songs. Dear Prudence is one of them. The song is about Mia Farrow's sister, Prudence. Prudence was on the trip to India with The Beatles to visit Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Prudence spent the entire time in her room focusing on meditation. Lennon was worried she was depressed and wrote this song for her.

As stated, the song was recorded with McCartney on drums as Ringo had walked out. Lennon also stated this is probably his favorite Beatles song (it is also his son Julian's favorite). The song is very simply written and has a beautiful music behind it. It also shows how the Beatles were moving back to a standard guitar based music.

Those in my age bracket might recall that this song was a huge hit for Siouxsie & the Banshees in the early 80's.

First the Plug that leads to this rant/debate, and the only plug today.
Just Me posted and interesting article about the supposed Jesus come to Earth preacher Jose Luis DeJesus Miranda. It has become and interesting debate that Malach wants to expand upon here.

Got another plug or two also. I updated Andy Randall's Gallery. And I got a new Zazzle Store, more stuff coming soon.

Let's talk religion.
Ok, many of you assume Malach is atheistic or a non believer. That is not trues. Malach was born and raised Catholic, though, even though he works for a Catholic Charities based non profit, he no longer considers himself that. What turned me off to Catholicism was the importance placed on dogma, rites, sacraments, and following certain teachings of less than infallable popes. I am also pretty much diametrically opposed to the Church stances on a number of things: abortion, birth control, lack of women in the hierarchy, their stance on homosexuality, and force man into a celibate lifstyle if he becomes a priest. I am also kind of turned off of the whole church history: the creation of the myth of Christ, the building of the New Testament to support that, the Crusades, the Inquisition, the muffling of thought and science, the whole Christianization of Europe, Central America, The Secret Societies, etc. I do have to give the Catholic Church some credit, with Vatican I and II, a lot of the old dogma, and ideas changed quite a bit. I also find the Catholic Church does do a lot of charitable work in the way of Social Justice, which I like.

As for the rest of Christianity? I find it pretty all pretty stupid; that 1000's of Christian Religions all basically believe the same thing, but they each think the other is wrong and going to Hell if you don't accept their particular thought and way of doing things.

Now Jesus; it is not that I don't believe he was the Son of God, I just don't particularly care. Don't get me wrong, Jesus was a really cool dude. A philosopher, a revolutionary, if all these Christians actually followed the teachings of Jesus, they would not be condeming the world to Hell. Jesus as a philosopher and moral teacher is arguably one of the greatest of all time. As for historical Jesus, I have some opinions of who the man was, but that another blog.

The other thing that gets me is the whole Revelations, Rapture, Second Coming stuff. To Many Christians, that book is the end all be all of their thought. OK, have you ever read Revelations? The dude that wrote it (whether it was John of Patmos or not) wrote this very symbolic, enigmatic, dreamlike, perhaps drug induced story. This book was not only not included in the first collected Gospels by the early church, because early Christians thought it would be too confusing and too easy to apply multiple readings too, it was strangely added around 400AD even with dramatic opposition. Revelation also became a part of not only a reason for the Great Schism 600 years later, also the Protestant Reformation, 1200 years later, as clergy still argued about the book. In a away it is kind of basing your belief systems on reading the symbolism involved in Alice in Wonderland.

What I also find interesting is the people who use Revelation and Bible Coding to predict the future. If you did not realize it, symbolic coded writing makes very interesting prophecy . . . Eventually you can apply a past event to something, it worked for Nostrodamus (I am going to try this someday). This brings me to my first debate. If obviously, one cannot see if prophecy is correct until the events have happened, sometime centuries later, how do you know if the event is currently happening? Example, the Second Coming. How do we not know Jesus has already come back? Suppose he is this Joes Luis DeJesus Miranda? Suppose he was David Koresh? Suppose he was Jim Jones and we all missed the boat? Sound crazy? Suppose there was a street preacher claiming to be Christ, would not think he was a nuts? Now, think of Jesus. Many of the establishment of his day chose not to acknowledge him as the Messiah, many thought him a kook, and many more thought him dangerous. How much different is he say from Koresh? I also made the joke, John Lennon could have been the Second Coming, but would that have made him bigger than himself?

So, I have looked into just about every religion, and read most every holy text. I really have not found anything that has particularly clicked with me. If I was forced to align myself with some religion it would be a Universalist/Buddhism/Humanism mix. I guess the basic problem I have found with organized religions and religious thought is, that they all make claims to be tight with God. So either they are all right, or most are wrong. So if they are all right, then what purpose to they all serve, and if most are wrong, how do you figure out who is right? I also look, and they all teach the same thing just with differnt characters. So to me, the basic thought from earliest religions of Zoroastrianism, and Hunduism to the more modern religions of today is as follows:

1. Love your fellow man
2. Respect the Earth, and live in harmony with it, it is the greatest gift.
3. Know that there is something greater than your life and this world.

So, if we are all learning the same philosophy, why can't any of us get along? If the world followed these three rules, wouldn't it be a wonderful place? Christianity, Judiasm, Islam, Hinduims, Buddhism, Wiccan, etc, all teach this.

Do I believe in God? Yes. To me though, God is a entity that cannot really be understood by man completely. I find God in a number of places. When I am with nature, up in the mountains, playing with my kids, when I paint alot of times I find God. I can imagine climbing to the top of Mt. Everest is like communing with God.

I also find it strange that with a lot of people, science and God don't fit. There is not a lot of difference between a theorectical astro physicists and a devout Christian. And I have always said it is just as bad to be blinded by science as it is to be blinded by religion.

Ahh, I have ranted in a while . .

Plugs.
Just a weird 8 1/2 by Eleven today (530). I really don't know what Lucas was smoking with this one. Perhaps he has been enjoying my Beatles blogs.

You are listening too . .
Speaking of the Beatles, Lady Madonna, one of those singles released between Magical Mystery Tour and The White Album.

The song was a number one hit in the US, and kind of indicated a change of direction for the Beatles, away from the more process sounds of the psychedelic era to a more blues, garage rock style. The song owe alot to 50's blues/rock, and McCartney (who mostly wrote the tune) stated he was trying to do a Fats Domino impersonation. Domino would actually cover the song in 1968 and it would be his last hot 100 US hit. Ron Scott provides the sax for the song.

The song is novel mix of music, with a standard semi-blues rock out, and strange nasally harmony (nose horns). Also we see Paul hit his utmost range of vocals to some interesting effects. Personally I love when he goes above his range slightly and belts out these tunes, something he will do with future Beatles albums and his solo career. Vocal track is also doubled up through the song.

The lyrics are pretty interesting.

Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
Who finds the money? When you pay the rent?
Did you think that money was Heaven sent?

Friday night arrives without a suitcase
Sunday morning creep in like a nun
Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlace
See how they run

Lady Madonna, baby at your breast
Wonder how you manage to feed the rest

See how they run

Lady Madonna, lying on the bed
Listen to the music playing in your head
Tuesday afternoon is never ending
Wednesday morning papers didn't come
Thursday night you stockings needed mending
See how they run

Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet

It is a subtle juxtaposition of the familar (Lady Madonna, the references to religion) and the not so subtle (basically about a poor woman who trying to make ends meet).

Some more bad news for Dubya.
His buddy, under some pressure, Tony Blair resigned. And now, Congress has defied his veto threat on the budget. I still wonder where this country would be if Gore was elected.

OK, so last night there was a brawl at the Boston Pops Concert. You can see the video here. It gotta be Ben Folds fault . . . Of course it might have be a Yankee vs. Red Sox fan, but there were no Yankees Suck chants after that (you can hear those chant just about anywhere including ballet recitals, wedding, and first communion).

One of the most beautiful musical anthems ever made, All You Need is Love. Among the most significant, beloved, and famous songs by the group, it was original played for a 2 hours live television special called Our World. It was specifically written by Lennon, with some McCartney contribution for the special, which aired in over 400 million homes in 1967. It was republished as the closing track on Magical Mystery Tour.

Lennon was asked to come up with simple song, that all nationalities of the world could understand. Lennon worked off a song from Rubber Soul, The Word, which has a similar theme. Many were immediatley amazed by the song, the fact it would not be misunderstood in any culture or language. Lennon also considered it a propoganda song, like many of his later solo works.

Ironically it was the last song recorded and released before Brian Epstein death, and perhaps the high point of the interpersonal relationships between The Beatles.

Because of the international feel of the song, it was given a worldly flavor. Hence the opening of the song with La Marseillaise and several other snippets of song during the long fadeout (2-part Invention #8 in F by Johann Sebastian Bach (transposed to G and played on 2 piccolo trumpets), Greensleeves (played by the strings), Glenn Miller's In The Mood (played on a saxophone), one of the Beatles' seminal hits (particularly in Great Britain), She Loves You (spontaneously ad-libbed by John and Paul), and Jeremiah Clarke's Prince of Denmark's March lilting off at the end).

The songs structure is acutually a bit complex. The background repeatedly sing's "love, love, love" while Lennon's verse are in 7 /4 time, and the chorus in 4/4. It is one of only two songs to every reach the top 20 US in 7/4 time (if you can guess the other one correctly you get a prize). The only difference between the album and live recording is that Lennon rerecorded some of the vocals he was unhappy with.

The song message endures today. All you need is love.

That ends our look back at Magical Mystery Tour. The White Album is next, but because it took so long to record, The Beatles had a number of their most famous hits in between, we will explore those next.

Hey Jeffri Chadiha, of ESPN.com
You sir, are a moron, for this article. The Patriots were not about to give in to Deion Branch. Do your research. The Pats were more than willing to sing Branch. Problem was, Branch was already signed to play 2006 with the Pats. He decided he did not want to wait until 2007, when his contract was up, and then go for the money, he wanted it, when he was signed already.

The Pats have never, nor will they ever deal with a players contract when they are already signed. Branch was going to sit out his last year, so the Pats, being the smart team they are, traded a mid range reciever for a 1st round draft pick. They only payed a 4th rounder for Moss. You are stupid, and since you don't list contact info at ESPN, you can follow backlinks here, at least my contact info is right on the page.

Tommorrow Never Knows

4.13.2007

No Plugs Today.
Seriously none.

You Are Listening Too . . .
Tomorrow Never Knows, by The Beatles off one of their masterpiece albums Revolver. What can we say about this song, beyond amazing, and one of their best of all time.

First you need to imagine the context. You have heard most of Revolver over the past couple of weeks. This songs is the very first song recorded off that album in April of 1966. That is right 1966. Listen to this song. How modern does it sound? Beck could be doing this song today, and it would not feel outdated. This song is a precursor to industrial, trance, techno, hip hop, and fusion. It was done again in 1966. No samplers, no computers, no synthesizers, no drum machines. This song is one of the reasons The Beatles stopped touring, how do you reproduce a song like this in 1966. For comparison, what was popular in music at the time?

The Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel; Paint It Black - the Stones; These Boots Are Made for Walking - Nancy Sinatra; (You're My) Soul and Inspiration - Righteous Brothers; Monday Monday - The Mamas and Papas ; It's a Man's Man's Man's World - James Brown; Strangers In the Night - Frank Sinatra; Good Vibrations - The Beach Boys; You're Gonna Miss Me - The 13th Floor Elevators; etc.

Wow, some amazing music, but nothing like this song.

The song was mainly written by Lennon, and even though being the first recorded, it is the last track on Revolver (Imagine, your thoughts in 1966 as this song closed the album). Obviously a very experimental and expressive song, it is a very good lead in to their next album, Sgt. Pepper, as this song definitely explores psychedelica.

The inspiration for the song derives from the book The Psychedelic Experience, which in and of itself is based upon the The Tibetan Book of the Dead. Leary's book goes on about the "Ego Death" experienced during a LSD trip and it's correlation with Tibetan death rites. It is reputed the song is a soundtrack of sorts for the process of the psychedlic voyage. In addition, Lennon supposed based much of the song of his own reading of The Tibetan Book of the Dead while tripping.

This is one of the only Beatles songs where the title does not appear in the song. According the Lennon at the time, he was unconfortable with the spiritual nature of the song, and gave it a throw away title based upon a Ringo Starr malapropism. The original title it has been noted was The Void.

The recording of the track, the sounds you hear are a combination of highly compressed drums, reverse and backward guitar rifts, processed vocals, and looped tape effects. This is the first Beatles experiment with tape loops. Some of the more prominent loops include the "laughing seagull" (McCartney laughing, played backward, and sped up) and the sitar loops. There is also a very weird backward guitar solo. Even more amazing is the piece was mixed on a four track recorder. 16 tape machine were also used, the condensed to get all the noise for this song.

The song was a precursor to some more experimental Beatles stuff, including Revolution 9 and Carnival of Light. It also brought helpinfluenced some of their late classics including Day In The Life and the side two of Abbey Road.

Just amazing, and still fresh 40 years later, enjoy this one buckos. This is the song, that will really expand many people thoughts about The Beatles who are only familar with their more popular stuff.
