(I think the bongo player knew the actual song ;) )

DJR: ah, you've been hanging out with West Coasters too long ... verbing a noun ... be careful or you'll realx too much and lose that whole Xtreme Anger thing you've got going on ;)

Andy--points for you if you can guess which other olde buddy decided not to risk the slings and arrows of public disgust by stating that they kind of liked it ;).

And as for "worse," I dunno ... I've gotten some pretty raunchy suggestions combined with some works of straight-up rejection of the objectification of womyn ... and then a toaster oven. Or an Osterizer.

It's pretty disturbing ;). (Especially adding the occasional Catholic-based read ;). )

Oh, it's sort-of harmless...If dreadfully misnomered. (Have I just verbed a noun?) It sort-of sounds like an Enigma album gone horribly awry.

I actually kind of liked it--if it were actually produced with actual instruments and an actual choir instead of one pop-styling guy mechanically transposed into a "choir," I might even buy it. I think it captures well the inherent and amazing musicality of the John and Paul's work. Although I'm with Gino, Love Me Do was too much of a genre stretch. (The only other remakes of the Beatles I have liked were the the 60s acappella "Blackbird" and I vaguely recall a grunge 90s one ... mostly I think the Beatles ouvre should Not Be Touched.)

I was wondering if this was another installment of iTunes Genius FAIL, but I suppose iTunes has higher standards than this ;), and Marc must be right, it was Amazon. I followed a couple of Quinn's feminist literature/history links and now Amazon's bots are firmly convinced I am interested in all things Lesbian ... and cookware (from my one-time purchase of toaster oven pans). It's an odd combination ;).

I was looking for albums of Advent chants and this was one of the "Customers who liked this album also bought:" suggestions. Can't believe anyone would pay for it!

It's not even Gregorian Chant, it's nothing close to it! It's just some guys singing Beatles melodies in homophony with terrible new-age synthesizer music. CHANT IS A CAPPELLA AND MODAL!!!!!! ARGH.

And possibly most infuriating is that this album does not even contain "Let it Be." WTF?

"they sell books and videos on staging dog fights. "

how would you know? what you been looking at? ;)

i didnt know that. i buy from amazon all the time. maybe i'll have to look elsewhere.

2008-11-30T09:11:00.000-05:00

1) How in the hell do you find this stuff? Wait - Amazon tracks what you look at there and sends you recommendations based on that...what the hell are you looking at? :-)

2) Well, at least you could get it for Pepsi points!

3) Bastard - now that I've followed the link to look at it, I will probably start getting hideous recommendations from them. Not that I follow them, I don't buy from them because they sell books and videos on staging dog fights. Cretins.

Word verification = zatingli. Use in a sentence: "I eez so excited, my wee-wee eez zatingli!" Ooh. I am so bad.

No, it's a terrible joke. But, I stole it from The Simpsons.

Paul is alive. John and George are spinning.

On second thought, Paul is probably spinning after hearing this album!
