This post reminds me of that old commercial. Ahem (snap along if you like):

Crass? Only if you presumed I was insulting George and John, which I wasn't. I was merely pointing out that neither of them had shown any great passion for touring or for live performance after 1966 (other than occasional gigs).

And obviously John and George are dead so "still at it today" wasn't a slight. It was a…

For all that Lennon talked about the band's glory days playing live in Hamburg and Liverpool, he didn't seem all that interested in live performance himself. In the 70s he mostly avoided it and/or was terrified of going on stage. Meanwhile George Harrison only ever had 1 tour (in 73-74 ish) and it was disastrous — his…

And what's wrong with an album sounding "of its time." That's what's great about Sgt. Pepper. Put on that album and you're back in 1967 London. It takes you to that moment in time. You don't even need a hit of acid.

As for the White album, it's a perfect mess and I wouldn't want it any other way.

"Remember how great the Arya and Tywin scenes were in Season 2?"
—
Absolutely. That was another pairing whose scenes I rewound and rewatched. The actress who plays Arya seems to connect well with whoever she's paired with. I hope we get to see her interact again with the Hound as well as with Sansa. Arya and the Onion…

So, experiencing GOT withdrawls, I decided to rewatch the entire series from Season One. So far I'm on Season Four. We've just lost the lovely Prince Oberyn. :( Things I've noticed so far in rewatching:
1. Tyrion looks much better with a beard. That dyed blond hair he sported early on looks weird.
2. It's not only…

I'm not really sure what you're bitching about. You object to him making a documentary about his solo work for interested fans? Why? What about that makes him a "greedy fuck"? This used to be an interesting place to discuss things and now it's more and more like the Daily Mail with pointless harangues like this.

Prince was the soundtrack of my 20s. Especially in college. I hear those songs and suddenly I'm transported back. I'm on the dance floor with my roommates and we are singing at the top of our lungs: "Girl you got an ass like I never seeeen. Oooww! And the ride, I say the ride, is smoooth. You. Must. Be a Limousine."…

So Yoko took money from Sony and gave up the rights to John's songs? That tells you everything you need to know about her. Yoko: Using John's legacy to build her bank account for 40 years.

Well Harrison could be an asshole, too. None of the Beatles were particularly humble; why would we expect they would be at that level of fame. I think there are tensions in any creative process. And tempers flare. And people work in different ways that don't always gel. But everything Paul did in the studio was in…

The really interesting part of this is that Paul is hanging out with Beck. Maybe they're collaborating on an album? That would make me very happy. Also it's nice to see that Paul is so chill about the whole thing. Class act.

First it was Brenda and Dylan. (Kelly and Dylan? Puhlease. She was about as interesting as sliced bread.) Then:
* Mulder and Scully (god she was hot)
* Felicity and Ben (god he was hot)
* Seth and Summer (great mix of neurosis and sentimentality)
* Veronica and Logan (both damaged with hearts of gold)

Well I said "around the web." I wasn't referring to the reaction here but to the usual derision he's getting from the usual smug music sites about this.

In an interview on Noisey that I read yesterday (no Beatle pun intended) about these audio emojis he mentions he's also working on a new album. Is that legit enough? He did this emoji thing as a break from his routine. I'm not seeing the problem or the reason for derision.

He had a laugh working on this. But if you want to be a snob and deride it for no good reason, be my guest.

He didn't. He and John never fully owned the rights to their songs.

And yet here you are.

As a McCartney fan, there are some things about him I will never understand. That Broadstreet movie is one of them. His second marriage is the other.

Exactly. Why the hell not? Yet of course I wasn't surprised to see the usual pretentious assholes around the web going after him for doing this — something that amounted to a few days' work on something he thought was a fun diversion. People are so fricking uptight about every little thing (Beatle pun intended) he…

I think the one with the stick up his/her ass is you. You haven't given a single coherent explanation of what makes this "different." All you've said is that you personally weren't affected by other celebrity deaths that caused huge waves of grief as well. Fine. But MJ sold 8 MILLION albums in the US alone during the…
