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.

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.

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.

546 of 8 1/2 By Eleven is up as is number 43 of Sunshine. As for Sunshine, Hex has give me 4 - 5 emergency Sunshines, so I will be interrupt starting tomorrow with these, and they are extra weird.

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.

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).

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.

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.

There is another new 8 1/2 by Eleven strip 540. Also, there are some new requested products in the Zazzle store. One is a t-shirt for this blog, which I have gotten a few requests for. It is customizable so you can add any of my quotes, the on their now is "MMMMM 12 Varieties of Dung Beetles". Also there is a new Tinman and Margaret Sunshine sweatshirt.



I am going to be making a Buckos and a podcast shirt in the next few days.



You are listening too . .
Revolution 1 off The White Album. Perhaps not the version that is most famous which was a beside to the Hey Jude single. There are basically three versions of Revolution, the raucous electric version most everyone had heard, this more acoustic orchestric version, and a strange 8 minute avant garde sound collage from The White Album called Revolution 9 (which I will play for you later). I will treat Revolution and Revolution 1 as the same songs in this blog entry.

Revolution was first to be released and was a product session of The White Album. It features distorted guitars, and a electric piano solo. It is one of The Beatles hardest and agressive tracks beginning with and overdrawn guitar wail, a compressed drum beat and that signature wail (which was recorded by Lennon, but live, McCartney always did it as Lennon could never recover after the scream to start the vocals on time.



Revolution 1 is basically the same song, only done in a different style, with much less distortion and a more acoustic sound. Lennon recorded the entire vocal scheme while lying down in experiment in vocal scheming. This is actually the original version of the song, but the rest of the band wanted a faster heavier version for the single to back up Hey Jude. Lennon irritated decided to amp up the loud. Lennon claims the song was inspired by 1968 French uprisings.



The Mood of Red Sox Nation.
So they are on their first bad series, losing 5 of 6. Last night, I am surprised they even competed with Papelbon, and Okajima unavailable, Lowell, Crisp, Varitek out of the lineup. Lost 5 - 4 in 11 I think. Tonight should be different. Mood: Were still 10 games up.



Ok.

There is a new Fetus-X, some type of strange undead survey, I really don't get it, even with the pie chart. Also number 539 of 8 1/2 by Eleven is also up, and really shows you how much of a wuss Nillian is.

More Beatles History.
Basically one month after the realease of The White Album, the Beatles began filming Let It Be, and recording what became known as the Get Back sessions including there famous rooftop concert on January 30th of 1969. Allen Klein is named their manager in a 3 - 1 descision, McCartney being the dissenter. In March, Harrison and Patty Boyd are charged with Marijuana possession, Paul and Linda marry, and then John and Yoko marry. John and Yoko immediately go a honeymoon which includes first of their famous 7 day Bed-Ins. As the Get Back sessions go on, more things occur, but that is a later blog.

Gotta give Roger Goddell some credit to sticking by his guns or perhaps Tanks Johnsons guns. It will be interesting to see what happens with Micheal Vick.

Tainted Love Erotic Stories (TLES) updated. The new one in a first in a multi-part gothic style paranormal fantasy called Along the Road (Chapter 1). Strangely, there is no erotica in this first part, but TLES is rated 18+. Also for the longest time, AdBrite did not ad any adds to the TLES archive, now there are ads for porn, interesting, didn't realize internet porn needed advertising.

Oh and some of you might enjoy my MySpace tune.

Two bad pitching performance by the Sox, but the bats carried them today. Jeter with some big errors, Meintkiewicz knocked out by a Mike Lowell hip after crossing the baseline to catch an errant Jeter pass. Get Well Doug, we still love you in Red Sox Nation, without you, we don't win in 2004. To top it off, it seems their white knight Rocket Roger has a "fatigued groin". Yeah a lot of jokes there. So, we are back where we were a few day ago, 10.5 on the O's, 13.5 on the Yanks, best record in baseball. The Mood of Red Sox Nation: AAAUUUGHED MY GROIN!

The Mood of Red Sox Nation.
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 . . .

Nessie (and BigFoot).
There is a new Nessie video shot this past Saturday, they say it is by far some of the best video of it ever. I've seen it, not really impressed. 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. I love still to this day, no matter who they hire and how hard they try, they can never duplicate this video, it figure, and it's ambulation.

There is a new Sunshine, number 40, it is up and just loaded about hour ago. Also, Malach has some plugs that helps him make some money and stay in business. I will diligently be working on more products in the coming weeks. First, a big request and finally up. Perhaps my most popular image on this website, and one I see all over the internet as people's backgrounds on MySpace, FaceBook, MSN Space, and such. All Apologies, the Poster. As an added bonus, I am more than willing to sign them if you buy one, email me for details.

Also, for you KMP Softball groupies, I have started making KMP Fan Gear, and since the lot of you are drunks, debuting today is the KMP Beer Stein. I will be making some baby dolls, and other clothing this week. I am also working on a Fat Bug/JesusMan! mixed t-shirt. And it also seems I got my first Zazzle fan . . .

Oh, and if you want to see the worst YouTube video ever made? Go here. Yes, it is FRIGHTENINGLY bad.

So far 2 from Cleveland, who have the second best record in the AL. Both games played without David Ortiz who has sore hamstrings, and Papelbon was not available to close today's game. And I also noticed the Yankees are sharing the AL East Cellar with the Devil Rays at 14.5 back. Mood: Kinda of Scared.

I agree with this Barak. It has the Malach seal of approval.

Don't Pass Me By, off The White Album. Another fave of Malach's, and a interesting song. The first solo composition by Ringo Starr to ever make a Beatles album, it actually became a number one hit in Sweeden.

Evidently Starr had been working on this song to get it on a Beatles album since 1964. During a interview, Starr was asked if he had a wrote and song and mentioned Don't Pass Me By, which the rest of The Beatles pretty much mocked. Of course the lyrics and music changed quite a bit over the years, but eventually it was deemed good enough to be included on The White Album. The song has a lot of little indosycracies to it, including Ringo counting the bars toward the end of the song (ending it with Oops), quite a bit of unintelligble shouting over the course of the song, and strange alarm bell going off at the 1:48 mark in the middle of a sung lyric, and a mistaken lyric in the last chorus; but it so much fits the song, and almost redneck drinking song, fiddle and all.

The song was originally recorded with an orchestral arrangement, which was later used in the Yellow Submarine movie.

The lyrics themself, are very strange, mostly straighforward until the last set, I reprint them for you.

I listen for your foot steps
Coming up the drive
Listen for you foot steps
But they don't arrive
Waiting for you knock, dear
on my old front door
I don't hear it
Does it mean you don't love me anymore

I hear the clock a ticking
on the mantel shelf
See the hands a moving
But I'm by myself
I wonder where you are tonight
And why I'm by myself
I don't see you
Does it mean you don't love me anymore

Don't pass me by
don't make me cry
don't make me blue
'Cause you know darling I love only you
You'll never know it hurt me so
How I hate to see you go
Don't pass my by
Don't make me cry

I'm sorry that I doubted you
I was so unfair
You were in a car crash
And you lost you hair
You said that you would be late
About and hour or two
I said that's all right
I'm waiting here just waiting to hear from you

Don't pass me by
don't make me cry
don't make me blue
'Cause you know darling I love only you
You'll never know it hurt me so
How I hate to see you go
Don't pass my by
Don't make me cry

One two three four
five six seven eight Oops
Don't pass me by
don't make me cry
don't make me blue
'Cause you know darling I love only you
You'll never know it hurt me so
How I hate to see you go
Don't pass my by
Don't make me cry

Now, fairly straightforward except for the last set of lyrics that begin "I'm sorry that I doubted you . . " . The whole section with the car crash, and losing hair, is one of the song the fueled the "Paul McCartney is Dead" urban legend that began spring up in 1969 (again more on that on a later date).

This song is actually fairly popular with the modern crowd, and many have done interesting remakes of this song.

The New Painting.
Did a little more work on Livy in the Sky With Diamonds, as the kids love painting with daddy in his studio. Becuase of new blogger labels you can follow along with this link.

Did do anything really major except added a robe-like piece of clothing to the figure, added more color and detail, and the Buttefly. I will move into oils next.

As for this kids, they love the fact my studio has a ton of watercolor paper, and they find this easy to paint on. Between the two of them they must have painted 15 pieces.

Trot Nixon is back in Boston, but the Sox are 3 - 1 in the seventh, and Schilling is having an awesome bounce back game. Yeah and Youkilis just hit an inside the park homer, sound like my softball league (when you don't really play with fences . . ) Mood: Let's Go Sox.

RIP Marquise Hill.
Hill, was not a star, but like all members of the team, had his place, and from what I understand a awesome teammate.

RIP Charles Nelson Reilly
OK, Malach can remember CNR from the his days with The Match Game, which used to come on when I was a young lad. Always liked him and his comedy. The other things about CNR is he was a somewhat openly gay actor in the 1950's, 60's, and 70's when it would kill career to be fairly open about it.

His comedy featured gay themed double entendre's, his dress and sense of style pushed the boundaries of television standards. While he never came out of the closet until much later, he never intentionally or purposefully hid his homosexuality.

So, how many drinks . .
Do you think this guy had last night?
