Album of the Week

For most of my teen years, I had this uber close friend. He was my other half for like 7 years-ish. I've mentioned him before and my hopes is to never have to mention him again. You can go support his music if you want (http://www.myspace.com/midnightview). I still will, from a very far distance for reasons unknown to me.

Anyways, we "just so happened" to have bought the same Christmas gift one year, '02 I think... A Beatles poster.

I cut my hand on it today and that's partly where my album of the week came from.

I've waken up to this LP for like 6 days straight now. Something about that Sun King makes me feel good about life. The Beatles don't really need any explanation nor do I have any rave that I think would live up to their status and talent. I will say this, had I been around during "their reign", I probably would not have been a fan. I would've loved their music but not been a fan. Like Beyonce. Hate her, but the bitch can sing and apparently act as well.

But now, it's 2009. If you are a fan of music, you're a fan of The Beatles in someway. So many samples and covers and careers have been made off these 4 guys that just did what they loved in a time where it was almost OK to be free in love. I think at least 3 of the songs that I've written in the past few months are somehow inspired by The Beatles.

If you're not into them and are open to giving them a shot, go get The White Album. It'll change your life. For better or best. Or at least just open your mind to something you may not have experienced.
