PSA: The new Squeeze album is dynamite, even beyond my lofty expectations. Try Trixies today!
Aaah, Frank was my introduction to them, this documentary in fact: youtu.be/JTGHbXIm1rQ?... saw this, got the CD and never looked back. Fell in love
Lots of perfection going around. We’re lucky to have all of these records from them. I’m very excited for the new LP coming out next week!
Magnificent. Even better than ESS, IMHO.
Some of my favorite Difford lyrics on this one, including this, which literally have framed
That’s an A+ 💜💜
12 Arnold Grove, George Harrison’s birthplace and childhood home, from my UK trip in 2024
Today would have been George Harrison's 83rd birthday in the material world (or maybe it was yesterday). From the archives, here's my birthday card to George, revisiting his deeply vibrant period between his 25th & 26th birthdays, from February 1968-69 🎂🎸🕉 theymaybeparted.com/2016/02/25/t...
ICYMI!
Everybody's trying to be my baby now #TheBeatles
Watching that woman perform with the guitar on the Verona Arena stage during the Olympic closing ceremonies, it struck me to wonder if Michael Lindsay-Hogg knew of this place. Could have been an easier sell to have the Beatles play Italy in January 1969 instead of traveling to Tunisia
I think no Apple because they used borrowed equipment in Jan ‘69 (because of Magic Alex’s “studio”) and no Abbey Road b/c they were in the process of upgrading their 8-track console. And Trident had one.
Charge your earbuds and fire up your fave podcast app as I join The Beatles: Note By Note to dig into “Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby,” tying Carl Perkins’ influence & inspiration from the band’s outset to final song (and beyond). A blast of a discussion! 🎧 www.notebynoteseries.com/episodes/083...
I back this concept
I’ve said it many times before, the Beatles were very good at not being broken up until they decided to really break up (and then, they were not very good in clearly breaking up)
This is when I used to give the hot take the Get Back sessions couldn't have been so bad, they were eager to record again 3 weeks later, held up by legit reasons like tonsils & essential personnel tied up overseas. Not so hot anymore! (and that's good!)
They probably would have gotten back together even sooner had Billy Preston and Glyn Johns not been out of the country and George Harrison didn't have a tonsillectomy (more on that here:
bsky.app/profile/they...)
It’s February 22 and 57 years ago - about 3 weeks post-Roof - the Beatles & Billy (and minus George's tonsils) were marvelously loud at Trident in their 1st proper stab at "I Want You (She's So Heavy)", the blurry line between the Get Back & Abbey Road sessions youtu.be/BvT4BUFauqc?...
The mighty Squeeze covering "Junior's Farm" this morning. Let's go! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJN6...
I was hoping to make it out but I don’t think I can 😩
New McCartney & Wings exhibit coming to Rock Hall in Cleveland in May! This just hit my inbox
Oh, how awesome!
Happy 93rd birthday to Yoko Ono! 🎂
(For age context: That's 1 1/2 years older than Brian Epstein would have been, almost 2 years older than Elvis and more than 3 years than Buddy Holly & Roy Orbison. She was more than 7 1/2 years older than John, who she spent about 13 years with, now 45 without)
Yup! I was just posting separately in this thread about meeting him at a book signing.
They May Be Parted trivia: Glyn is one of three (that Im aware of) original Get Back figures who knows of the existence of my humble project
Photo here is from a 2014 book signing, and he seemed aghast when I told him I was closely studying the Nagra tapes.
Happy 84th to Glyn Johns! 🎂
Happy Valentine’s Day, with love from me (and my candy jar) to you and with some help from the solo Beatles catalog (and a little imagination). 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙
Newspapermen and photographers agreed with Ed Sullivan: New York had never witnessed the excitement stirred by the Rutles, also 62 years ago today:
youtu.be/pNstlMrPrPM?...
Beatles bookends: I took this photo a couple years ago in New York, That's the Ed Sullivan Theater on the right (under the Colbert sign), and 1700 Broadway - the former HQ of Allen Klein’s ABKCO - across the street on the left. It’s a small world.
So we all know about The Beatles' 1st time on The Ed Sullivan Show, 62 years ago today. But their *last* "appearance" on the show was in March 1970, w/clips promoting the forthcoming Let It Be film with the title track. (They also sent over the "Two of Us" clip) youtu.be/1m01UUGikJQ
"They sing close harmony, stomp their feet and play electric guitars, but so do a lot of crew-cut American boys in slacks and sweaters, and they cause no riots."
(From Cynthia Lowry's widely syndicated TV column, Feb 10, 1964, the day after the Beatles' Ed Sullivan appearance)
