the watusi...the twist...eldorado...
I just wrote an extended piece on my blog about my childhood memories of the Beatles' "Revolution 9." View here if you like.

soft communication is...
-
...a music recommendation blog run by d where she and her friends can recommend a song, album or artist regardless of genre or newness. some of our contributors are musicians, some write about music on their own excellent sites (see links above) and some just like to recommend, grammar be damned!
- because we are sloppy, please email us if there is a link issue or error.
- if you would like to submit a cd for review, please contact us at our email address.
- LABELS TAKE NOTE: ALL MP3s ARE AVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY. IF YOU WOULD LIKE AN MP3 REMOVED FROM SOFT COMMUNICATION, PLEASE CONTACT US AT THE EMAIL BELOW AND WE WILL TAKE IT DOWN IMMEDIATELY.
- one day soft communication will be a more polished operation but until then, we are casually dressed.

great post mike! I recommend everyone take a look at it right now.
there's something so great about thinking about some kid stumbling across tomorrow never knows in their parent's record collection or hearing happiness is a warm gun in a used clothing store in saratoga (me) & being like what's THAT?!?! I suppose that's why as much as I enjoy the stones there's never been much of a contest.
But those are actual songs, you know? I think I heard "Tomorrow Never Knows" before R9, and it at least had drums and sung lyrics. Whereas R9 was completely unrecognizable; I could not have possibly known about the Stockhausen or Cage influences at age 11.
I wasn't actually alluding to that aspect of your post...I agree that 9 is...off-putting to say the least & a worthy song to fear. I was just thinking out loud (or writing out loud) how fresh other beatles songs can be to new ears. new ears? I've lost my mind, haven't I?
