Ram, the second post-Beatle LP from Paul McCartney has just been reissued through Hear Music. There are numerous ways for the uninitiated to acquaint oneself with its contents, but the best is likely the two-disc Special Edition. It presents the contents of this hard-fought classic alongside a second album of appropriate bonus material. Paul McCartney was the member of the Fab Four that so many used to relish knocking around. Whether it was in spirited bar chats or animated discussions at parties, when the tide turned to The Beatles somebody could always be [...]
An overlooked precursor to the current handmade-pop phenomenon, Ram was initially criticized for everything that makes it sound unexpectedly bold, fascinatingly unedited and utterly misjudged today. The album, set for deluxe reissue on May 22, 2012 by Concord as part of the Paul McCartney Archive Collection, moves with a guileless joy from the country-blues parody of "3 Legs" to the [...]

Illustration by Mike Well, what can I say??? Saturday was epic in more ways than one! First off, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! With your help & your legs, on a windy day with impending rain, on a holiday weekend filled with egg hunts, church services, and men dressed up as bunnies, we were able to raise... $610 for breast cancer research!!!! Personally, I think that's fantastic! Thank you so much to everyone who took the time, took their bikes, and showed up to my super SUPER no-frills charity [...]
I'm a glass half full kind of guy. The Beatles broke up about 40 years ago, a sad but true fact, but check it out: the world did not end. Not only that, rock music kept on trucking and, depending on who you ask, is still alive and well today. Not only not only that, members of the Beatles did not immediately vanish upon calling it quits. So instead of harping on the mega downer that followed Let It Be (ie no more Beatles albums), I choose to think about how awesome it was to get FOUR TIMES [...]
Paul and Linda McCartney: Smile Away [ purchase ] Having just returned from the dentist with my 41-year cavity-free record still intact, I though it would be good to revisit the Smiles thread. "Smile Away" comes from the Ram album, which was credited to Paul & Linda McCartney. That says less about Mrs. McCartney's musical abilities than it does about Paul's desire to share his life completely with his soulmate. It's a noble romantic gesture, but practically speaking, this is Paul's second solo [...]
I'm behind on posting playlists (surprise surprise) so I thought I'd hit you with two in one post, along with oodles of mp3s. The June 29 show was guest DJ-ed by Jon Rogers (it was a Harry Nilsson-ish show to promote the Harry Nilsson tribute at Mercy Lounge) and the July 6 show was hosted by D. Patrick Rodgers of the Nashville Cream, who curated last Monday's 8 off 8th. You have until tonight to listen to an archive of last week's show, and remember you can always click the icon at the top of the right-hand column to listen [...]
Paul & Linda McCartney : Monkberry Moon Delight [ purchase ] After you hear, "I know my banana is older than the rest", you're reminded that Paul composed the music and John wrote the lyrics. McCartney's cheery Pop had a way of making one overlook that - like, wtf is a Monkberry Moon Delight? Check that, I don't think I really want to know.

The Pick-Up Artiste By Tess Lynch I imagine these people are all very close. "Too Many People" - Paul and Linda McCartney ( mp3 ) "Smoke and Mirrors" - RJD2 ( mp3 ) The other day, I was at Aaron Brothers , just picking up some stuuuuff and chatting with the local crazies. This dude, who claimed to be an artist (and had some pretty unimpressive inky canvasses to show us; I [...]
When I issued this challenge, it seemed easy at the time: pick a few of my faves, dig deep, float a list, no problem. Then I actually sat down to assemble the list and said "woah - how'd I come up with this, again?" Shaking off that doubt, I continued by laying down some personal ground rules: I wouldn't use The Beatles or Simon & Garfunkel for a "fave." I figured that most of the "deep" tracks by these two are already common knowledge - and also came [...]
