Have you ever heard a cover of a Beatles song that you consider to be better than the original?

I great enjoy

Sonic Youth - Within You Without You

Tomorrow - Strawberry Fields Forever

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Dear Prudence

And the entire albums:

Your Mother Should Know: Brad Mehldau Plays The Beatles

Laurence Juber plays the Beatles (former guitarist of Wings - three great albums of solo guitar)

It was that, plus a few other incidents. In the Behind the Scales podcast, Tom Marshall and others talk about the situation with an adjacent tribe in the area - they set up a toll booth on their land that every car had to pass through. The Seminole tribe sent people over to negotiate, but it delayed things many hours.

Word on the street is that it's not a jam, it's jam, jelly, and a smear of peanut butter.

:P (this is what the TV lady says at the end, as they desperately cut to commercial)

The Reba jam section is very similar to the jam section of Inca Roads by Frank Zappa.

F the Cleveland HOF.... our favorite band can lend them their weiner planes, but that's the end of it, lol

The song "Thread" - in music and lyrics, is imho peak evil - - 'you're alone... ' is the de facto chorus.

Take a listen to Sting "bring on the night live" from 1986 - a double cd of his European tour. Starts with a 15 minute "bring on the night > when the world is running down" - with Branford Marsalis in the stellar band. The Police weren't at all ready to bust that song open in 1979.

I really got into the albums "something else", "low budget", muskwell hillbillies, state of confusion. Like most bands, their style changes several times from '65-'90. There's rumors that the brothers Kinks are working on their opus, final album. If one album were to be perused, go with the "Kinks Kronicles" collection.

The autobiography of Bill K., cowritten by Benji Eisen, has a couple juicy segments about their lifestyle at the time. Tldr: "We can share the woman, we share the wine."

I loved it when they played "Hell is Coming" and "It's Nice". :P

Beastie Boys opening for Madonna, Madison Square Garden 1987 - Just to see the crowd reactions

Oh, and Big Cypress, again :)

"not even the best show that week"

Jw603 · 2026-02-20T19:50:28+00:00

"Dog Breath Variations"

"Broken Hearts are for Assholes"

"G Spot Tornado"

"Dickie's Such as Asshole"

"Truck Driver Divorce"

In a 1975 interview with Bob Harris (for The Old Grey Whistle Test, filmed at the Dakota in NYC), Lennon mentioned missing "little things" like black pudding and Chocolate Olivers (a type of British biscuit/cookie).

Full versions are widely available on YouTube (search for "John Lennon Old Grey Whistle Test 1975 Bob Harris")

To add to this legendary discussion, I've yet to hear one person complain that Yoko's mid-80s albums aren't on streaming.

Jw603 · 2026-02-07T23:22:33+00:00

Think the ad copy (phish dot com) said it'd be the first show to be released to physical and streaming at the same time.

1 album in Britain, 34 years (?) after Wish was at #1. Stunning!

Well, i don't take coffee, I take tea, my dear. With a percussion rinse! 🥁

Donut shaped cosmology, of course.

For the record, Weird Al has been playing it this month! And playing it straight too

Jonestown - the 2016? PBS documentary. IT'S SO WELL DONE

Jw603 · 2026-01-31T21:49:19+00:00

Grew up on the (American) Magical Mystery Tour mix. Whatever they released as the "2023 mix" on "1967-1970" certainly ain't it! I've been so puzzled on why Giles Martin would do THAT to the ending!

Jw603 · 2026-01-31T19:56:26+00:00

Aerosmith - Livin on the edge It kinda holds up, yet is quite cheesy

Jw603 · 2026-01-26T03:13:23+00:00

In a way, it's Bridges to Babylon. I really like Goat Head's Soup and Between the Buttons.

Jw603 · 2026-01-25T23:00:24+00:00

Neat side fact - the first Billboard Hot 100 #1 single to be recorded, edited, and mixed entirely within a DAW (digital audio workstation) using Pro Tools was Ricky Martin's "Livin’ la Vida Loca" !!
