In which I explain how to build an iTunes smart playlist of just Beatles tracks
The Record Books February 22nd, 2013 @ 8:16 am PST
What if Abbey Road had been a book instead of an album? How about Exile on Main Street? The Rockpot is selling packs of gorgeous postcards and prints of just such imaginations. I love the ones for Violator and Brothers in Arms. I love all of them, actually. They also have theoretical iOS app logos […]
Gator Helvetica T-Shirts September 5th, 2012 @ 6:42 am PST
I’m sure you’ve seen the Helvetica t-shirts. The classic one displays “John & Paul & Ringo & George”. (The creators of that shirt have a pretty good website detailing its history.) Someone needs to make some of these for classic Gator combinations. Here are my suggestions: I know, I know. I forgot to include Percy […]

iTunes Tuesday: Beatles and Bob May 26th, 2009 @ 7:34 am PST
If you put a gun to my head and forced me to pick my favorite band, I’d have to go with The Beatles. (You could just ask me, though. What’s with the gun? Chill out, psycho.) I have — as far as I know — every track they ever recorded, and it’s not a stretch […]

A Day in the Life June 4th, 2008 @ 7:44 pm PST
I just finished reading Mark Hertsgaard’s excellent book, A Day in the Life: The Music and Artistry of the Beatles and I loved it. My father-in-law — who, in 1974, was actually kicked out of the Troubadour with John for heckling the Smothers Brothers — gave it to me a few weeks ago after he’d […]
I Once Had a Girl May 4th, 2007 @ 6:03 am PST
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh. Funny. Very funny. Keep laughing, sweetheart. You just go to sleep giggling your pretty little head off while I am stuck in the freaking bathtub. How is that fair?

I don’t think I’ll ever tire of reading the headline “John Lennon’s killer denied parole again“. With luck I will continue to see it posted somewhere regularly every two years or so. I figure he’s got about the same chance of getting paroled as Sirhan Sirhan does. It’s nice to see that the hearing only […]
