"Artists need to make money to eat and to continue to make art. Artists used to rely on middlemen to collect their money on their behalf, thereby rendering themselves innocent of cash-handling in the public eye. Artists will now be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks. Please welcome them. Please help them. Please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.” -Amanda Palmer

So I'm listening to the remasters this evening (disc two of the mono Past Masters, mono Sgt. Pepper's, stereo Abbey Road, stereo Revolver, and now I think I'll give the stereo Sgt. Pepper a spin), and all I can say is

I THINK MY MY HEART'S EXPLODIN'! THESE REMASTERS!

FUCK! FUCKITY FUCK FUCK FUCK! I may need to waste some money now. I go through phases with the Beatles... well not really. I'm just hesitant to anoint them as the best band ever and get a bit annoyed when others do, but they were consistently fuck*ng incredible, and all this talk of these new masters is making me want to plunk down some money that I should be putting in my rainy day savings account.

I THINK MY MY HEART'S EXPLODIN'! THESE REMASTERS!

I acquired the entire Beatles catalog a couple of years ago from a tape traders group.  They only traded boots, no official releases and they justified this Beatles trade by saying it was the mixes that were done for reel to reel in the 60's and were never used again anywhere else.  That claim sounded dubious, but I didn't argue.  And I didn't feel bad either, shit, I've paid for these albums about a half a dozen times by this point.

Anyway, they are simply amazing mixes.  I didn't think it was possible to hear new in these songs I've listened to hundreds if not thousands of times.  But my god, holy shit, fuck*ng hell and daaaaaam.

I wonder if these are the 'new' mixes they have just released?

Best band if we don't care about whether everyone has heard of them:

(can't decide of the best joke here. Pussy Galore? James Chance and the Contortions? It obviously needs to be someone that most people would not consider music.)

Friend, friend:

OHHHHH SHIIIIIIIT!

I listened to Abbey Road last night. Man, the bass parts are THERE. I think I have whiplash from snapping my head at the speaker every time I heard something new. I do miss the distorted clip on John's vocal on "She's So Heavy" though. Some of the flaws and muddy mix are part of my memories... It's almost like I'm starting over with this album. Great stuff.
