Arj Barker: Sickest Buddhist
Sunday, June 5, 2011
This video is tremendously funny, even if you don’t live in Santa Monica.

Thursday, October 14, 2010
Today is a red-letter day for me, one that I’ve been thinking about and wishing for since 2007. It’s always incredibly meaningful for a writer to get thoughtful critique about his/her work. And when that critique is positive, it’s the kind of public, yet deeply personal compliment that’s difficult to explain–unless you’ve hung your own [...]

Monday, October 4, 2010
I’ve always loved the demos that John Lennon recorded during his exile at the Dakota during the late 70s. This morning while browsing YouTube I unearthed this song, which I knew in an earlier, rougher version as “Help Me to Help Myself,” from the famous Lennon bootleg, “Dakota Beatle Demos.” This version’s nice, too. How [...]

Sunday, June 27, 2010
This very funny video from UCB.com wrings laughs out of the Gulf oil spill by portraying BP as a bunch of gibbering subnormals. Is it funny? Unquestionably. But they should've taken that next step.

Wednesday, June 23, 2010
Sung to the tune of the song of the same name. (I blame MAD Magazine for making my brain do this.) “You never give me your money I have to suffer through your crazy bullshit If you knuckles were less narcissistic You’d work it out. The one I pity is Ringo Of the lot of [...]

Thursday, June 17, 2010
In honor of the fascinating book that I received for my birthday Monday (still don’t know from whom, but thanks!), I am posting this unedited version of the Beatles’ Abbey Road song, “You Never Give Me Your Money.” Enjoy.

Friday, June 11, 2010
Here’s a pretty good parody of the Doobie Brothers’ “Black Water” by Steve Goodie. The topic? Take a guess. By the way, I looked at several “Downfall” parodies related to the BP oil spill in the Gulf, but none of them seemed quite up to snuff. As well-crafted as Steve’s parody song is, it makes [...]

Jim Emerson in The Chicago Sun-Times has written a column about how disorienting it was to realize that the 17-year-olds at a recent high school graduation did not recognize a reference to the Beatles tune “Drive My Car.” As a result, Emerson wonders whether The Beatles’ days are numbered as a relevant item of our [...]

Thursday, April 22, 2010
Shirley Tilloch over at Beatles Til I Die has written a very interesting post originally inspired by one over here at MG/Dullblog. This post of mine began as a lengthy comment to her post…until I got to the point where it was too long and went off in too many directions. So apologies in advance [...]

For 30 years, Ravin fans wondered: What if Tom Larkin had survived? Now, the story can be told.
Mixing alternative history, hardboiled noir, parody and satire, Life After Death for Beginners is a must-read for every Beatles fan. "A cross between The Rutles and Three Days of the Condor. I loved it."—Jonathan Schwarz
