Artist: The Beatles

Here's a fun mellowed out mashup blending rock and hip hop. It takes The Beatles track "Because" and Jay's "Say Hello" creating a track that takes the best parts of both tracks and really makes a new one out of it. It's from The Melker Project, a mashup artist from New York. Enjoy! Jay-Z vs The Beatles - Say Hello vs Because (The Melker Project Mashup) | Direct Download

This Saturday we revisit this absolutely fabulous edit of The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" by London producer Jonathan Moore, aka Leftside Wobble . He has some pretty good reasons to revisit it too: "Firstly Greg Wilson featured it in a 'Festival Anthems' selection he recently uploaded to Mixcloud , and secondly it was featured in the closing scene and credits to this weeks episode of Mad Men ("Lady Lazarus"). The combined effect meant that a fair few people have been downloading the version I uploaded here 3 years ago (which [...]

Here's a slam dunk Beatles edit from Leftside Wobble...

Por Davi Rocha A história dos Beatles , a mais popular banda de rock de todos os tempos, já foi contada milhares de vezes. Mas vale ser revisitada sempre que possível para alimentar os famintos beatlemanícos, ainda mais do ponto de vista apresentado no livro FAB – A Intimidade de Paul McCartney , lançado no Brasil pela editora BestSeller . Conhecido por biografias de Bob Dylan e Charles Bukowsky , o jornalista e escritor Howard Sounes conta em quase [...]

The Beatles, circa 1968. Yellow Submarine, the Beatles' 1968 animated movie, will be released in a remastered/digitally restored version for Blu-ray and DVD on June 5. They're also going to re-release the excellent Yellow Submarine songtrack, also remastered, on CD.

Filed under: Exclusive , Spinner Interview Jeff Kravitz, FilmMagic Forty-seven years after the release of his first single, "Catch the Wind," Donovan was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame . Coinciding with the honor was the release of a double-disc compilation of his music, The Essential Donovan , which covers the years 1965 to 1973, and contains four songs that had either not been issued in the [...]

What's that old adage? "When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me." Yeah, well in this case, my assumption didn't hurt anyone. In hindsight, it was a tad lazy - and perhaps made an ass outta me - but certainly not harmful in any way. Here's the thing: I got an email from ZME's esteemed editor and founder Tibi asking me if I'd have any interest in reviewing a book called How to Listen to Great Music by Robert Greenberg. But before my brain could consider, let's say, [...]

If you stop by the SXO house on a regular basis then you know Im fan of mash-ups. Those mash-ups are a funny thing, they are. Some people pull them off really well like a tall blond with nice legs in a short mini skirt. Then in walks the others. The ones who think they can pull it off but instead look like a chunky girl in low rise jeans. (cringe). Well I assure you these 2 Jigga mash-ups are walking in the arms of the tall blond. The first track features Jay and his boo boo's "03 [...]

Tags: Psychedelic Disco Re-Edit Leftsidewobble A couple of things this week made me revisit this edit. Firstly Greg Wilson featured it in a 'Festival Anthems' selection he recently uploaded to Mixcloud - http://tinyurl.com/d6yvsbc - and secondly it was featured in the closing scene and credits to this weeks episode of Mad Men. The combined effect meant that a fair few people have been downloading the version I uploaded here 3 [...]

I was a little apprehensive going into my first listen of The Neighbourhood 's "I'm Sorry..." EP. I knew they could make a great track: "Sweater Weather" deserved every bit of its success, and is sitting comfortably at the top of my Tracks Of The Year list so far. "Female Robbery" didn't quite blow me away to the same extent, but it was certainly a pleasurable listen. So were these a couple of flashes in the pan, or a real indication of potential? Five songs is hardly enough [...]

Say Hello vs Because - Jay-Z vs The Beatles vs T-Pain - The Melker Project - Click to download. I'll let Mr. Scott Melker tell you a little bit about this track: When you find a rare Beatles acappella you are morally obligated to use it. "Because" is an incredible song - 3 voices, recorded 3 times to create a 9 part harmony. "Say Hello" is also amazing. Perhaps my favorite track from "American Gangster." Throw in a little T-Pain and you have a recipe for amazing. Catch Scott Melker [...]

If you haven't seen this past Monday's episode of Mad Man yet, get thee to a DVR, because light spoilers are about to happen. As with the rest of the season, much of this week's episode revolved around our hero Don Draper feeling old and out-of-touch. And after a few conversations about the feasibility of getting the Beatles (or, failing that, a reasonable facsimile thereof) to give a song to a commercial, it became painfully apparent that Draper didn't really know what the circa-1966 version of the Beatles sounded like. So his much-younger second wife Megan bought him [...]

Filed under: News , Television Ron Jaffe, AMC We knew the studio behind " Mad Men " was obsessive about making sure every little period detail was correct, but we didn't realize just how much money they'd pony up for authenticity. So, it came as a bit of a shock to learn that Lionsgate reportedly paid $250,000 to use a Beatles song in the most recent episode, "Lady Lazarus." At the [...]

Pete Campbell (Vincent Kartheiser) "When did music become so important?" Just how much of Mad Men 's budget went toward licensing The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows," which helped end "Lady Lazarus"? As pointed out several times in the episode, getting a Beatles' song licensed is pretty much out of reach, and times haven't changed much at all in that regard. So it was interesting to see a song finally put to use. Interesting [...]
