The Beatles did a lot of drugs and they openly said so. Most people, when they think of The Beatles, do not focus on the dark side (if you consider it that) of that band. And why should they? The Beatles are the most influential music group of all-time. But as you delve into some [...]

9·9·9 La fecha está clara y la cuenta regresiva para miles de fanáticos de los Fab Four ha iniciado desde hace un par de meses. La noticia ahora son los instrumentos. EA ha liberado las primeras imágenes de las réplicas (con botoncitos) de los instrumentos que George, Paul, John y Ringo utilizaron en tiempos mejores. La mítica Rickenbacker 325 de Lennon y la infalible Gretsch Duo Jet de Harrison serán los controles para jugar el anticipadísimo videojuego. [...]

A change in tone now; after the heart-rending song I just posted... something loud & boisterous seems, well, if not appropriate, then certainly suitably distracting. Harrisons split up early last year, presumably not that long after their only album was finally released : perhaps one too many "Arctic Monkeys, but not as good" cracks got the better of them?. A cheap shot maybe, but accurate enough, although if you don't go digging for lyrical treasure, there's a great deal to like about No Fighting In The War Room , particularly this indie/disco cracker - [...]

... a cinematic narrative about the illusory nature of mortality. Download the lead single "The Epcot View" now. Austin-based Future Clouds and Radar , the eclectic art-pop ensemble headed by Robert Harrison , released their ambitious self-titled double-disc debut last year. A growing critical consensus says the album ranks among 2007's best. Harp Magazine named Future Clouds and Radar "Debut Artist of the Year" and called the release fourth best record of overall. It seems musical vision continues to emanate from the group who is set to release its sophomore [...]

Concerning the Blog, and my Life. There's been a lack of updates lately, and for this, I'm sorry. It's not that I have nothing on which to write--in fact, I have an extensive 'To-Do List': - Muzak Reviews of: Shugo Tokumaru's Exit , Sunset's The Glowing City , Late of the Pier's Fantasy Black Channel , and Stafraenn Hakon's Gummi. Maybe I'll try to write one of those now/later today. - Film Reviews of: Saw V [...]
From Harrison: He conveniently showed me this clip just 20 mins ago. It's freaky on a whole different level, shit that was only capable of being thought up in the 1940s. So here's one more addition to yesterday's mindfuck.

Team - Bottlerocket Massive Attack - Inertia Creeps Modest Mouse - Education Harrisons - Dear Constable [...]
Harrisons - Dear Constable (Demo) Oh. My. God. You ever think you're not hungry, only to have someone stick something under your nose that stirs some ravenous need deep down inside? That's exactly what happened to me when I put in the Harrisons debut CD, No Fighting in the War Room. I needed this so goddamn bad, and I had no idea. I'm too young to remember when either rock or british rock were singular genres, but you know how there kinda is that quintessential UK sound (I'm speaking as an American youth here) that you hear in what...

This is the first proper Theme Songs-post ever, and since it is Monday, we'll start with Monday-songs. These songs will only be online for one week. Most of these are from my own archive, so it will definitely be music in the "Eardrums-style". Hope you'll like it! The Charade - Monday Morning (One of my absolute favourite summer-songs. Mondays get brighter with The Charade. Official site ) Harrisons - Monday's Arms (UK Clash-styled indie, from the single with [...]
