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.

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.

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

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.

Check out Malach latest to tick off the Christian Buckos post over at the WoW. I think I am going to do this everyso often, post strange Bible quote there, just for fun.
Also, evidently the webmaster over at Sandlot Softball.com forgot to pay his internet bill . . . so you can't follow Malach's team online right now. It makes it a little tougher for me too, to figure out what plave we are in.
Also, another sort of plug. I just finished the new Wraith webcomic. I will load it tomorrow, as I want to redesign the archive a bit. More on that webcomics future tomorrow.

Something about Pattie Boyd
Plugs.

You are listening too . . .
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
Some Plugs.
There is new 8 1/2 by Eleven up. This one is number 543 and I think Lucas is on the LSD as it is about Neon Butterflies. Also, the Wand of Wonder has gone a bit nuts with funny and weirdness over the past couple of days.
Also check out one Malach's internet buds psuedo journalistic website about his Philadelphia Phillies team from his Playstation 2 game MLB 07 The Show. Nova Fan is a bucko, and in his late teens. Some well written stuff there, and interesting moves.
Malach also is a huge Beach Boys fan (who rock, Brian Wilson is a fuggin' genius) playing at his MySpace. Also I heard a version of Brian Wilson by the Bare Naked Ladies, sung by Brian Wilson. A bit surreal
Taunton State Hospital.
So, Malach spent half the day doing a presentation and attending a resource fair at TSH. It was fun interacting with some of the populace still there. I wanted to explore some of the abandoned buildings, but I did not have much time. In MA, asylums fell out of favor in the 70's and 80's, and those here now, are those that really can't operate outside, but are not say mass muderers and have hope for release.
You are Listening too. . . .
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.

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.
