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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Malach's Quote/Video of the Day
I am Malach and I wonder what Manson thinks of this version of Helter Skelter.
HELTER SKELTER!
No Plugs.
One of those on the 7th day thingies.
You are Listening too . .
Perhaps the most infamous song of the Beatles catalogue, Helter Skelter. This song was the anthem for Charles Manson's supposed prophecy messages from The White Album regarding race war and upcoming apocalypse.
This was was very different than anything the Beatles had done before, proto hard rock, punk, and metal, this song was created mostly by McCartney and was a deliberate effort to create a sound as loud and dirty as possible.
McCartney's inspiration was a interview with The Who's main songwriter Pete Townsend in which he describes their latest single I Can See For Miles as the loudest, rawest, and dirtiest song The Who ever created. McCartney immediatly got inspired to write the most raucous vocals, nastiest drums, wailing guitar he could. He was inspired by a old amusement park ride the Helter Skelter. Using that symbolism of that ride, he went on to sing about the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. McCartney also made the song as a response to a number of critics who contended he could only write ballads.
The Beatles recorded the song a number of times over a number of months including a slow hypnotic 27 minute version. The last attempt at recording after 18 previous takes, Ringo Tossed his drumstick across the room, screaming the now famous "I've got blisters on me fingers!" line. The song fades out, the comes crashing back in with Ringo's line ending the piece.
People who were present at the multiple recordings recall strange incidents while recording, such as Harrion lighting a ashtray on fire and running around the studio with it on his head. Ringo has the best quote: "'Helter Skelter' was a track we did in total madness and hysterics in the studio. Sometimes you just had to shake out the jams."
According to Manson, Helter Skelter, along with several other tracks on The White Album, contained coded prophecy of an apocalyptic war in which racist and non-racist whites would be maneuvered into virtually exterminating each other over treatment of blacks. Upon the war's conclusion, after Black Muslims would kill off the few whites they would know to have survived, Manson and his companions, having ridden out the conflict in an underground city, would emerge from hiding and, as the actual remaining whites, rule blacks, who, as the vision went, would be incapable of running things. Manson employed Helter Skelter as the term for this epic sequence of events. In addition, a misspelling of "Healter Skelter" was found scrawled on the fridge in blood at the LaBianca Murder scene. Yeah pretty coo-coo.
Helter Skelter was a huge influence on a lot of bands ranging from Zeppelin and the Sex Pistols in the 70's, Sonic Youth and U2 in the 80's, The Pixies and Nirvana in the 90's and so on. Personally in a fave of mine.

Malach's Quote/Video of the Day
Dinosaurs didn't exist. God created the sun, the stars, the heavens and the earth, and then made Adam and Eve. The Bible never says anything about dinosaurs. You can't say there were dinosaurs when you never saw them. Someone actually saw Adam and Eve. No one ever saw a Tyrannosaurus rex. - Carl Everett

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.

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!

Very Interesting. Now, Malach is an artist, I am an expert in visual form, proportion, human and animal anatomy, natural movement, and such. Why this really fascinates me? There is no real way I could see this being faked, even with CGI. Again, I stress real vs. realistic. This looks real. And this was shot in 1967 when faking something like this would be extremely hard (think of things like Disney Animatronics and Planet of the Apes both top of the line of this type of stuff back then). It is not like the Alien Autopsy, there is too much going on with this figure to fake it correctly. Just by the proportions alone this is not human, and this does not look like a monkey suit, nor does it act like one. Very interesting if I do say so myself. If it is a fake, kudos guys, but you should of cashed in on that when you could have.The song gets it thick deep feeling by being recorded in an Abbey Road studio not much bigger than a large closet. Ringo loved this song, as it's stripped down nature reminded him of the early stuff. This song also shows the proto hard rock direction the Beatles woulds be going in for their next couple of albums, aka the Get Back sessions. There is a quiet backing vocal in this song, that was Lennon basically singing guide vocals during instrument recording. This was mixed with his actual vocal. This backing vocal can be slightly heard in places where the main vocal in not being sung.

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.

Julia, and Lennon favorite from The White Album. Malach personally doesn't like the song, not really sure why, beyond feeling it is a forced song. This is the final song onrecord one, side two, or CD 1. This is the first and only time Lennon did a solo Beatles song (McCartney did a number of them), and features Lennon on all vocals and guitar. The finger picking style of this song he learned in India from band friend Donovan.
The song is about his late mother Julia who was killed after being hit by a motorvehicle driven by a drunken cop in 1958. Part of the song is also about Yoko Ono, and her name, which in Japanese means "child of the ocean" is alluded to in the lyrics. Some of the song is also inspired by the poem Sea and Foam by the Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran.
The song itself is very restrained and poetic, Lennon's vocals are only double tracked in select sections of the song. The song is also recorded at a low level, and if you have this album you find yourself turning up the volume for this song, only to have some of the other song blow your ears off. Also interestingly, for a intimate, emotion subject, Lennon kind of changes that with this song, which is more spiritual and meditative. Also interestingly, if you did not know the facts of Lennon's mother, your wouldn't get it from the song.

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 . . .

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.

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 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.

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 . .

More done on the new Painting.
This is about the time where I switch from acrylics (which I use to block the painting as the dry faster) to oils (which have a better general look). You will notice as it coverts to oil there is a much richer color to the piece.

Well, a sweep of the Rangers, the Angels swept the Yankees. That puts us 12.5 up on the Yanks, and 11.5 up on the division, which currently the Orioles of all teams is in second.
