I was listening to George Harrison's solo stuff and I have "got my mind set on you" stuck in my head.

And Slap, I went back and listened to Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Probably my favorite album of theirs. Day In The Life , It's Getting Better, When I'm 64... all good stuff.

It's wonderful and I'm glad you liked it. If you haven't already I'd next give one of the following a listen: Rubber Soul, Revolver, Magical Mystery Tour, Let It Be (the naked version) or Abbey Road. The White Album is wonderful but there's a lot of filler on there so it's never an album I would suggest someone start with if you've not yet gone deep into their catalog.

I used to listen to them a lot when I was younger. I used to play Sgt Pepper multiple times before removing the CD.

They're dying in order of talent.

Ringo's next.

Then Pete Best.

Harrison was immensely talented and might be my 'favorite' Beatles, but what is your deal with McCartney? The dude can play pretty much any instrument you throw in front of him, has a ridiculously expansive voice, has written/co-written some of the best songs of all time and... whatever.
 
Spotify gives everybody a lesson in what Capitalism is all about.

If anybody is subscribed or whatever I would say the faster you can protest and unsubscribe or uninstall or whatever the better. If they take a huge, immediate drop they might think better of it next time. They are a soulless machine, just change the expected value function.

Consumers, organized, can destroy any corporation at will. That is the one good part of our system.
 
I love Paul Simon’s music with and without Garfunkel. But man…revisited his Capeman record recently…oof! That doesn’t hold up at all.
 
Holy shit. Apparently the following groups have now joined Neil young and pulled their music off Spotify.

Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, Queen, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Dave Grohl, Joni Mitchell, & Pearl Jam, Neil Young


That's gonna leave a mark.

edit:

Neil Young has 6,084,982 monthly listeners
Willie Nelson has 5,416,350 monthly listeners.
Queen has 36,605,559 monthly listeners
Pearl Jam has 10,448,620 monthly listeners
Bruce Springsteen has 13,506,679 monthly listeners
Barbara Streisand has 3,978,858 monthly listeners
Dave Grohl has 412,940 monthly listeners
Paul McCartney has 10,455,831 monthly listeners
The Rolling Stones has 19,487,305 monthly listeners

thats 106,000,000 listeners who probably listen to more than one song per month.
 
Soul Asylum - Made To Be Broken - 1986 Minnesota Music Awards

i was 15 and lucky enough to be in attendance for this event thanks to my brother, although the overall production was pretty bad. Prince closed the evening with an unannounced 40-minute set that unfortunately I don't think was filmed. The linked video is some nonsense followed by perfectly sober performance by Soul Asylum.

Those were the days in Minneapolis especially for someone my age. Prince had just blown up, then there was The Time, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, The Replacements, Husker Du (which later begat Sugar), Soul Asylum, The Suburbs, The Jayhawks, Lamont Cranston, The Gear Daddies, Information Society, The Flamin Oh's, Babes in Toyland, Peter Himmelman, Trip Shakespeare (which later begat Semisonic), Limited Warranty, Slave Raider, Shangoya, Walt Mink, The Wallets, Arc Welder, Mint Condition and on and on. Those were the days.

I have not previously heard of these guys. Great rec. Thank you


I prefer the Motown Versions. This is one of those times when the cover (despite being an amazingly cheesy video from the Ed Sullivan Show, this version is fantastic) is better than the original

I wasn't even aware it was a cover and thanks for sharing the other versions.

And been resting on his laurels for going on 40 years now.
 
This finally arrived this week, I'd ordered it way back in September, was supposed to ship in December, but you know, Covid and all.

To me, this was the band at their height, just after they released Fisherman's Blues in 1988, and the couple years they spent touring and then recording its follow-up, Room To Roam. Went on a bit of a journey into traditional Scottish and Irish folk music, augmented the lineup with fiddle, mandolin and tin whistle players, and their secret weapon, Sharon Shannon on accordion. I saw them in Boston late October 1989, before they had even started recording RTR, but the setlist that night was made up heavily of songs that would later appear on that album.

To this day still the third greatest live show I've ever seen. When this deluxe box set was announced, I knew I would have to get it. The 240 page, hardcover book included with it is worth the price by itself. Four cds of the RTR songs in various stages of development, trad Irish songs, jigs and reels, covers of John Prine, Dylan and others' songs, live tracks, a dvd of home movies and a couple complete concert shows. And of course I had to also go for the remastered vinyl.
