Please Tease Me

Thirty years after the Beatles 3-part Anthology TV series, with companion CDs/LPs and a big book, TheBeatles.com is teasing the coming of Anthology 4.

Thirty years ago, the best way to see the Anthology TV series was an expanded edition on LaserDisc video.

The Merry Patreon Marching Society

A while ago, I trimmed back a couple of my Patreon subscriptions to focus on a few favorites; one about audio, one about comic book art, and one about the Beatles

  • Audio Unleashed is a podcast with Brent Butterworth and Dennis Burger. Brent is a friend of a friend, from when they worked at Dolby Labs.
  • Artist Colleen Doran I know well enough to say I consider her to be a friend.
  • Andrew’s Parlogram videos are mostly about the Beatles. Another Andrew of impeccable quality and integrity, named Sandoval, who I have met, has given a thumbs-up to Andrew’s work.

Songs Not on My Playlist

I’m tired of these three songs, even the two that were covered by the Rolling Stones. Here, you listen to them, because I won’t!

‘Love Potion No. 9’ – by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, 1959, originally recorded by the Clovers.

‘Poison Ivy’ – by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, 1959, originally recorded by the Coasters.

‘Fortune Teller’ – by Allen Toussaint, 1962, originally recorded by Benny Spellman.

To me they’re all the same song, and I have never cared for any of them. Whew! There! I’m glad to have gotten that off my chest. 🙂
