One of the greatest songwriters of the past several decades played a concert in Cincinnati last week, and cemented his place in the hearts and minds of his fans. I was lucky enough to be in attendance, and have a few thoughts to share about my experience. First off, I should say that this is not typically my type of concert. What I mean is that despite the fact that McCartney is obviously a legend, going to a 40,000 seat venue to watch a performance on jumbo trons is not my idea of a great concert. [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Video , Exclusive Apple Films Inc. George Harrison 's reluctance as a frontman was, oddly enough, a major reason behind the success of the Concert for Bangladesh , his close friend Klaus Voormann tells Spinner. "The fact is, George was never a frontman," recalls Voormann, who played bass in the band for the historic concert, which took place at Madison Square Garden on [...]

Era il 1° agosto del 1971, quando al Madison Square Garden di New York andò in scena il "Concert for Bangladesh". Presentato da " George Harrison and Friends", diventò poi un vero e proprio triplo album che in molti considerano (e a ragione) il quarto capitolo della carriera solista del compianto ex-Beatle. Il rapporto tra Harrison e l'amico Ravi Shankar - virtuoso musicista che gli aveva svelato i segreti del sitar - si conosce molto. Shankar informò proprio il musicista inglese della gravità delle condizioni delle popolazioni del Bangladesh e Harrison [...]

Reeve Carney, star of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark performs a Queen/Beatles Medley of 'Bohemian Rhapsody'/'I Want You(She's So Heavy).'

HD Video by G. Are you familiar with Carney?  Of course if you read this site, you're already in the know (and you're welcome!)  If you do not know the music of Carney, today is your lucky day.  This band is great!  When lead singer Reeve Carney has a day off from being the lead in Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark on Broadway, he moonlights in his rock and roll band with his brother Zane.  They are great performers and if you like what you are about to watch (which you will), you should definitely pick up Carney's [...]

Tweet You may never have heard of Ride, but chances are you've heard of Death Cab For Cutie , so let me give a little insight as to who the former are. In the late 802s and early 902s there was burgeoning Indie scene in the UK, specifically London and Manchester that were churning out talent like it was going out of fashion.  Bands like Oasis , Blur , and Suede paved the way for a shitstorm of other [...]

Yup, you know it's a Friday when I write stories like this. Up top you can see...well, mostly hear Wolfmother frontman Andrew Stockdale drunkenly covering the Beatles classic song, "Let it Be," whilst in a bar near Brisbane, Australia. What makes it even better is that he adds a classic line to the song singing, "Oh motherfucker, let it be!" Clearly, that had to be what the Beatles were thinking when they wrote the track. But NME.com reports that wasn't all that happened that night. Following his drunken cover, it was [...]

In which we see (or, mostly hear) Wolfmother frontman Andrew Stockdale cover The Beatles' "Let It Be" with a local cover band at a bar in Brisbane, Australia. What we don't see, according to NME , is the rather intoxicated Stockdale being removed from the stage, brawling with bouncers, and then getting arrested. Charged with drunk and disorderly conduct, failing to leave a licensed premises, and resisting removal from a licensed premises, Stockdale was fined $350 at a Brisbane court earlier today. Oh motherf**ker... Let It Be!!!

It's time to revisit one of our favorite subjects - crooners - and take a look at the story of a singer who not only had a tragically shortened career, but also a direct connection to the Beatles. His name was Buddy Clark, and his biggest hit was on a song that was written specifically for the girl who would later become Mrs. Paul McCartney. Born and raised in the Boston area, Buddy Clark began life as Samuel Goldberg but changed his name after leaving law school for show business. As a rising young singer in [...]

Check out this raw footage of Born Ruffians covering the classic Beatles song, "Happiness Is Warm Gun." With help from Adam Hindle and Jordan Howard, the band delivers a solid a cover, surely giving what appears to be a house party a revamped 602s vibe. I love it. Check out the video along with the uploader's description below. "Us, minus Steve, plus Adam Hindle (Allie Hughes, The Germans, Wayne Petti & The Thieves, Dwayne Gretzky) on drums and Jordan Howard (Allie Hughes, The Magic) play Happiness Is A Warm Gun at Magpie.

Aussie Folksinger Colin Hay offers a solo rendition of the Beatles' 'Norwegian Wood' for a session at Rolling Stone

Tweet When was the last time you used a pay phone? Seriously, think about it. Putting change into a phone attached to a pole, or in a booth on the street. Pretty antiquated, right? It’s telling that the cover image on Death Cab for Cutie ’s seventh album is a key from a pay phone, suggesting an outdated piece of technology, but not in that endearing, low-fi kind of way like when The White Stripes recorded "Elephant". It feels out of step with [...]

Tweet I can't say that I'm a die hard Death Cab For Cutie fan, but I am a fan. I've been listening to them for about six years now and was introduced to them via an online messageboard, my first taste being their (then) just released "Plans" .  If you can wear down MP3s then I wore that album down to a pile of wee baby MP3s that were barely recognisable as anything but slivers of noise.  That's my personal favourite and [...]

Since the beginning of the aughts Ben Harper has released albums with The Blind Boys Of Alabama, Relentless7 and Fistful Of Mercy as well as his longtime band The Innocent Criminals. Tomorrow, Harper will return to the "solo" format with the release of his tenth studio effort, Give Till It's Gone . The 11-track record features an appearance from Ringo Starr, who co-wrote and drums on Spilling Faith and Get There From Here, while Jackson Browne lends his vocal talents to the track Pray That Our Love Sees The Dawn. Harper recently released this [...]

The folks at I Hate Young People took to the street and asked teenagers if they could name one Beatles song or maybe just one Beatle or, etc. The biggest lesson we learn? (a) George Michael has bigger cultural sway than Paul McCartney or John Lennon. (b) Don't trust anyone over the age of 10 wearing a Burt hat. Here: Read More...
