“Here comes the sun, little darlin’
Here comes the sun
I say
It’s all right, it’s all right
Little darlin’,
It’s been a long, cold and lonely winter,
Little darlin’ it feels like years
Since you’ve been here
Here comes the sun, little darlin’
Here comes the sun
I say
It’s all right, it’s all right…”

Running everywhere at such a speed

There’s new shit to blog about every single day. And some things are just cooler than others. In the process of browsing the daily selection, sometimes you get some pretty pictures. Other times you get a quality slap, or a funny video. And then some days, you get a new Nike commercial full of Kobe’s career highlights and classic hoops moments, all set to a Beatles song, covered by none other than 3 Stacks. I guess today’s just one of those days.
“Hold on world, world hold on,
It’s gonna be alright
You’re gonna see the light…”

Is going away…”

If you listen to music, and particularly if you’re a Beatles fan, this will be entertaining. If, however you make music, this will be nothing short of fascinating. This excerpt is taken from a 1992 special documenting the making of perhaps the most important piece of music of the 20th Century: The Beatles’ Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The bulk of the interviewing time here is with Sir George Martin, the legendary producer behind each of the Beatles albums, with the exception of Let it Be, but Ringo, Paul and Phil Collins each lend some perspective to the process behind the album’s momentous closing track. It’s a trip watching people explain the creative process so casually when they’re talking about a piece of history. As if it was just five guys in a studio recording some shit. This is just inspiring.
First off, this is a dedication to my friends. Secondly, it’s a good opportunity to put folks up on Easy Star that don’t yet know. The All-Stars are a reggae band based out of New York who specialize in covers of entire classic albums. In 2003, the band released Dub Side of the Moon, covering Pink Floyd’s masterpiece, following up with 2006′s Radiodread, a dub translation of OK Computer. Their latest project is Lonely Hearts Dub Band, a song-by-song reinterpretation of the Beatles album that changed everything. “With a Little Help” is one we all know and love. Find some good friends to post up with, twist something up, and let this one set the mood.

“He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola He say “I know you, you know me” One thing I can tell you is you got to be free Come together right now over me…”
“Any time at all, all you gotta do is call, and I’ll be there…”
