When George Harrison passed away in November 2001, the music world paid tribute to him through the now infamous, Concert for George . Held at the Royal Albert Hall a year after Harrison’s death, it was organized by Eric Clapton and contained performances from several of Harrison’s friends including Clapton, Tom Petty, and Paul McCartney. While that show was a very fitting tribute to his life and music, it often overshadows the performance of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” at the 2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. After being inducted by fellow Traveling [...]
Acclaimed indie artist Alexi Murdoch sets the tone for Focus Features' new movie Away We Go , directed by Oscar winner Sam Mendes. During the filming of Away We Go , Mendes began thinking about the music that would be the sound and soul of the film. When he first heard Murdoch’s acclaimed debut album, Time Without Consequence , he knew he had found what he was looking for. While his [...]
Oscar Winner, Sam Mendes is back in 2009 with a film that seems sure to be a winner. It looks to be a hilariously charming film about couple discovering "home" for the first time. Starring SNL 's Maya Rudolph and The Office 's John Krasinski, Away We Go tells the story of a couple expecting their first child, and their journey across the U.S. in search of the perfect place to start their new family. Krasinski and Rudolph are also joined by a very talented and very fun supporting cast that includes Jeff Daniels, Catherine O'Hara, [...]
You could be anywhere: in a store, at the ballpark, in the car, and a Beatles song comes on. You sing along - of course you know all the words - and you realize this song is more than 40 years old. Say what you want about the people who populated the 1960s, and the people who still get nostalgic for that time, but there is something powerful about the music from that era. The Beatles were merely the best practitioners of that music. To this day, that stuff still sounds like magic. So let's share some Beatles rarities [...]
We flopped happily far up front at mainstage as lengthening shadows set the mood for My Bloody Valentine. Management was handing out earplugs at the gate and small wonder, since toward the end of “You Made Me Realise,” guitarists Kevin Shields and Bilinda Butcher (the latter impassive as a Xanax-bombed soccer mom) loosed a gorgeous fifteen-minute-plus feedback annihilation that was easily the loudest thing I’ve ever heard in decades of doting on amplified music. It was less a solo than a hideous (and hideously effective) evocation of nightmare; a compressed and aestheticized variation on the opening bombardment at the Somme, [...]
The best thing about giving your money away is getting a bit of it back. Some people say that money can't buy happiness, but we respectfully disagree with this opinion; it definitely makes us feel warm, fuzzy and well-fed. If you aren't smiling when you get your tax-refund check in the mail, you might be a robot. In fact, you're most likely incapable of feeling emotion and Blade Runner 's Rick Deckard is closing in on your mailbox as you read this. As you patiently wait for that refund check to arrive, whether [...]
At a quaint little coffee shop tucked away from the chaos of SXSW's 6th St, PopWreckers Bethany and Joshua encountered what was to be their wildest (sex! cursing! Mozart !) interview yet: Roxy Epoxy & The Rebound . And yes, this is the same Roxy Epoxy of The Epoxies . Bethany, PopWreckoning: Sorry, but this was a last minute interview for me, so I don’t have any questions planned or research done. Roxy Epoxy , Roxy [...]
Guest post: Treadmarkz is my brother-in-law, a Human Beatles Encyclopedia and the author of the weblog Treadmarkz.wordpress.com . Regarding why the Beatles broke up, for years, I was a member of the “Yoko Is Evil” sect. Then for a while I converted to Paul-is-an-Egomaniac-ism. I took it for granted that the truth lay somewhere within these two camps. Eventually I realized the many other factors: John Lennon’s addiction to heroin; the death of the Beatles manager Brian Epstein; their music and individual talents getting too big to be [...]

When my editor asked me to list the top ten songs recorded by John, Paul, George, and Ringo following their world-changing stint as the Beatles, I knew I was in for a daunting task. Actually, it proved to be downright overwhelming. The Fab Four have put out over 70 albums of material and recorded over 1,000 songs since parting ways. And let me tell you it hasn't all been Strawberry Fields and Sgt. Pepper. Cases in point: McCartney's unfortunate foray into the world of dance music, Ringo's attempt at a country-western album, and pretty much any John and Yoko song [...]
