I’ve got blisters on my fingers!! Oh, hai guys. Been a while. Any changes in the year since we last met here? Besides The Looming Face of the Apocalypse Staring Us Dead Center In The Eyes Like Some Horrifically Soul-Suckingly Terrifying… Looming Face, I Guess? And here we are at the beginning of October, with…
Introduction I’m not gonna hype this post as some kind of EPIC SHOWDOWN when comparing two essentially similiar Beatles records, because in almost any configuration, the UK Beatles albums were superior to their US counterparts, and that’s pretty much all there is to it. Except for Rubber Soul, which may be the only exception, and…
If you want to get Beatle Nerd gums a-flapping wildly and passionately and incessantly, just bring up the topic of the band’s American LP releases from the mid 60s. I’m not even kidding. This is a subject I myself love to geek out over, and why not? If you were born of a certain era,…
As of when this album review was published, it has been just around 50 years since the legendary Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band was released in North America (it was released a week earlier in the UK), and I’m going to avoid the easy “It was 50 years ago today…” H1 headline because that…

When it comes to buttkickin’ concert photography, my wife is Queen of the Freakin’ Ninjas! Ahh… if there are three things we absolutely love here at…

Having been born in 1971, the ten year gap between the breakup and Lennon’s death is a bit fuzzy in my mind. I was certainly aware of The Beatles,…
Rating: 5 / 10 Long before Ringo Starr was a Fab Four fixture, or before Love Me Do became their first hit single… before John Lennon proclaimed that the band was more popular than Jesus, or before they were slumming around India with the Maharishi… before their Magical Mystery Tour debacle of a film and…
Yet another trip down The Beatles and their American LP mystery trip… and yes, this one takes a bit of context. So we’re now in the late 1960s. After the release of the seminal 1966 Beatles album Revolver, the band has decided to assert more control over their music, business ventures, touring (i.e. ceasing touring entirely),…
The Beatles. aka “The White Album”. My God. Where do I even begin with this record? First off, an admission of sorts: I am a huge sucker when it comes to big, bombastic, self-indulgent classic albums. Whenever the artist or band has decided to take control of their music and explore their creative boundaries, despite the…
