“Something” was recorded for the Abbey Road album, and would be the only track by Harrison to be released as a single and reach the charts (any other song he wrote that was released as a single was as a b-side). Tell Me Why has a lot of praise for the song (almost 2 full pages)…
Tell Me Why offers up that if Ringo had sung “Only A Northern Song” it might be more believable and that it “confirms all suspicions about the psychedelic hubris of 1967.” BeatleSongs considers it “one of the worst songs Harrison ever wtrote.” It was initially written and partially recorded for the Sgt.

I missed a few of the Phamily Foto Phriday posts, and have a few random pictures from the last few months to share. “It’s All Too Much” was recorded for Magical Mystery Tour, but left off of that album and would find a place in Yellow Submarine. It’s a hazy sort of love song…
Think For Yourself was initially released on Rubber Soul, both original UK and butchered US versions.

Beatles Week is a wonderful tradition I look forward to every year. I wish I could claim to have come up with the idea, but it was Mark Zwolanek who started it back in…. what … 2008? He hoped somebody else would also do the same thing, and I did starting in 2009. It’s a…
The Odd Life of Timothy Green starts out with Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Garner at the adoption agency telling their story. They want to adopt a child, but the thing is, we know the film is about them as a couple with a young boy that magically comes into their lives. If you’ve seen the…
The Expendables 2 wastes literally no time getting the action underway. The scene is set and with a location, a hooded prisoner, then the familiar crew starts busting in. You get exactly what you expect in a film of this type. Packed with action stars the film is a testosterone-filled love letter to the…
