And of course, the Get Back sessions kicked off exactly 11 weeks after the last White Album session. So in a very real way, the “White Album Beatles” are exactly who we're hanging with at Twickenham and Apple in January 1969...

The Fluxus Movement: Breaking Boundaries and Challenging Conventions 

The Fluxus Movement Fluxus, coined by artist George Maciunas, emerged in the 1960s as a response to the rigid constraints imposed by societal norms and traditional artistic conventions. With a desire to break free from the confines of a commercialized art world opting for an approach that placed emphasis on spontaneity, simplicity, accessibility while actively encouraged audience engagement.

I think (Forgive me) my little flower princess isn’t talked about enough!

I understand it is an unfinished song that John would have polished if he had more time, but at its current state it’s so damn catchy. It was my second most listened to song last year!!

Also, my dad has this cassette!! He loves milk and honey so much <3 I will post it later

Banning “Ban” for Freedom

What word would you ban? Banning “Ban” for Freedom

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? As a lover of Freedom and Liberty, if I was obliged to ban something, would be the act of banning things. The word “Ban” in this case. The goal? Trying that further tries of banning thing could not take place anymore. And sure, even this seems contradictory, as it intrinsically contains a ban.However, “for every…

The Beatles workflow deep dive

As outlined in the previous post, sessions for every Beatles album yielded a certain number of released tracks, produced over a number of sessions during a given span of time. Here's a condensed outline:

Before the first album... Sessions: 4 Recorded: sporadically over six months (6 June to 26 Nov 1962). New releases: 4

Please Please Me Sessions: 1 Recorded: principally in one day (11 Feb 1963) New releases: 10

Between the albums... Sessions: 2 Recorded: in a pair of one-off sessions (5 March and 1 July 1963). New releases: 4

With The Beatles Sessions: 10 Recorded: across exactly 14 weeks (18 July to 23 Oct 1963). New releases: 16

A Hard Day's Night Sessions: 10 Recorded: across exactly 18 weeks (29 Jan to 3 June 1964). New releases: 17 Foreign language remakes: 2

Beatles For Sale Sessions: 8 Recorded: across 11 weeks (11 Aug to 26 Oct 1964). New releases: 16

Help! Sessions: 12 Recorded: across 17 and a half weeks (15 Feb to 17 June 1965). New releases: 17

Rubber Soul Sessions: 13 Recorded: in exactly one month (12 Oct to 11 Nov 1965). New releases: 15 Revived outtakes: 1 (from the Help! sessions)

Revolver Sessions: 22 Recorded: in exactly 12 weeks (6 April to 21 June 1966). New releases: 16

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Sessions: 67 Recorded: in roughly 21 weeks (24 Nov 1966 to 21 Apr 1967). New releases: 15

Between Sgt. Pepper and the White Album... Sessions: 59 Recorded: across nearly 42 weeks (25 Apr 1967 to 11 Feb 1968). New releases: 14 Outtakes: 2 (both of which would be revived by 1970)

The Beatles Sessions: 87 Recorded: in exactly 20 weeks (30 May to 17 Oct 1968). New releases: 32

(I'll stop there cuz everything gets more complicated after that, and anyway my focus has been on The White Album since it's the immediate backdrop of the Get Back sessions, which I can't get enough of.)

How does their workflow change from album to album?

Obviously the first album (PPM) is uniquely productive, even if the record was padded with a few already-released songs. 10 tracks in one session is almost unheard of for any artist.

The second album (WTB) yields 16 tracks in 10 sessions, setting the standard by which they'll judge their own progress for the next few years. The production average is about a song and a half per session.

The third album (AHDN) accelerates production with 19 tracks in 10 sessions, an average of nearly two songs per session.

The fourth album (B4S) picks up the pace even further with 16 tracks in 8 sessions, averaging exactly two songs per session. Apart from the first album, this is the fastest they work from session to session.

The fifth album (H!) shows the first deceleration with 17 tracks in 12 sessions. Production still averages more than one song per session.

The sixth album (RS) shows further deceleration with 16 tracks in 13 sessions, although it's their fastest overall production time since the first album. They still average more than one song per session.

The seventh album (R) nurtures 16 tracks in 22 sessions — twice their former standard. Their production average drops to fewer than one song per session — or, one and a half sessions per song.

The eighth album (SPLHCB) stretches time with 15 tracks in 67 sessions — six times their former standard. Production averages around four and a half sessions per song.

The ninth album (TB) picks up the pace again with 32 tracks in 87 sessions — nine times their former standard. Production averages a little under three sessions per song.

I don't know what else to say besides all that, but I'm sure I'll think of something....

Auge y caída de un glorioso fumador

Jamás pensé que mi cuerpo ocuparía el rol de Yoko Ono en esta relación. Simplemente, de un día para otro, una faringitis aguda me atacó la garganta y tuve que dejar el tabaco.

Por lo menos dos meses, dijo el doctor.

¡¡DOS MESES!!

Sí señor, dos meses.

Esto ocurrió en noviembre del año pasado. Y considerando mi edad, mi transformación paulatina hacia una vida más sana, decidí abandonar 12 años de una gloriosa carrera de fumador profesional.

Y es que ciertamente era un fumador profesional. Para mi entorno, mi presencia era sinónimo de tabaco. Andaba todo el día, todos los días, liberando humo entre los labios. Desde que despertaba hasta que me dormía.

Aún recuerdo mi primer cigarro como una pérdida de virginidad: dolió. Estornudé. Lo hice porque todos los poetas que admiraba salían fumando en sus fotos. Algo tendrá, pensé, mientras comenzaba una larga y apasionada historia de amor que se vio interrumpida de golpe. ��

Y también de golpe llegó el remember: después de siete meses sin fumar, acompañado de una copa de vino y buena música, me encontré de casualidad con unos puritos que me quedaban del año pasado. Como mi estado de ánimo estaba por las nubes, me dejé caer al flagelo del tabaco, otra vez.

Y debo admitir que fue delicioso. Fumé todos los que me quedaban, sintiéndome un Winston Churchill. Pero al día siguiente amanecí terrible. Me soné y mi nariz sangraba. Mis orificios nasales se volvieron dos puntitos de aguja por donde el aire luchaba por entrar. Y así estuve varios días, con dificultades para respirar.

Señoras y señores del tribunal: con estas palabras hago público mi divorcio definitivo con el tabaco. Jamás negaré que lo amé. Fue una gran compañía. Pero ya no hay más que hacer, solo decir adiós.

Josh Hutcherson Whistle Surreal 16-bit Blinding Light Macro Lens DSLR Art

Josh Hutcherson was mesmerized by the surreal 16-bit blinding light captured on his DSLR camera using a macro lens. The art piece, inspired by Yoko Ono, evoked a sense of nostalgia and wonder. As he snapped the photo, Hutcherson couldn’t help but whistle in amazement.
