Filed under: News Pop Chart Lab We here at Spinner enjoy doing some deep research on projects, but going through every Beatles song and figuring out which member played what instrument? That just seems nuts. Luckily, the people ate Pop Chart Lab have the right amount of drive, patience and insanity, as they did just that, mapping out the "helter skelter details" in a box set of infographics. The Beatles [...]

Fifty years ago today (March 22), EMI/Parlophone released Please Please Me , the debut album release by The Beatles, in the United Kingdom. The New Music Express said on March 8th 1963: "Things are beginning to move for the Beatles, the r-and-b styled British group. The disc Please Please Me follows closely on the heels of their first hit ‘Love Me Do’ written by group members John Lennon and Paul McCartney. It looks like a bright future for the Beatles, but knowing them I don’t think they’ll let it go to their heads." [...]

Macca's second solo album, Ram was panned left and right upon it's release, but time has done nothing but add to the albums charm. Recorded at Paul's home studio, this track like many others on the album has a certain ramshackle sincerity that furthers the albums appeal. The post "Heart of the Country" - Paul Mccartney (1971) appeared first on Merchants of Rock .

One of the biggest musical controversies of last year occurred when we found out Nirvana were reforming with none other than Paul McCartney as Cobain’s replacement. Well, that’s exaggerating a bit – obviously, it was only for a one-off performance at the Hurricane Sandy Benefit concert, but fans were no less outraged. To them, it seemed to be yet another insensitive move by the former Beatle to add to his already tarnished reputation. So when 12-12-12 actually arrived and Nirvana-McCartney stepped on stage, [...]

Frank Orth, the owner of Wemo Records, a German label that issued his last album, said Sheridan died Saturday. He didn't have details of the cause.

Just what’s so great about Nirvana’s rhythm section reuniting, and what should their next move be?

I recently saw a post from Pigeons and Planes that talked about 10 opinions within the music scene that held for good reasons. One was DJs really are just pushing buttons, another was Europe is cooler than the U.S. But the two that stuck out to me, and made me snicker to myself as I read it, were The Beatles are great and The Beatles are overrated. While I may not agree entirely with their overrated sentiment. I'm willing to admit the public's expectations of a song have changed quite a bit and the golden songwriting [...]

The Beatles, atop Apple Studios in 1969. Those were the days. On this day in January, 44 years ago, The Beatles climbed to the rooftop of Apple Studios in London to give what would be their last public live performance. The unannounced live show was a bit of a stunt, and an improvised ending to the documentary movie they were filming at the time, Let It Be . The movie was to be a fly-on-the-wall look at the Fabs working in the studio, cranking out songs for the planned Get Back [...]
