We’ve discussed peak Brian Wilson versus peak Beatles before, but you gotta admire the guy’s passion.
Now, clearly this is unfair. As I’ve said many times before, the scale of an LP can only be measured by examining its every dimension — packaging, conception and historical/industry impact do count — not just in terms of songwriting and performance. If you want to know the difference between Sgt. Pepper and Pet Sounds, see how SMiLE is different; Brian Wilson saw the improvements that “mere McCartney” and his own Wrecking Crew had wrought.

I’ve been noticing a lot of site slowness on my end, for no reason. This happens about twice a month, and it usually corresponds with about a 30-50% drop in daily traffic — like people come to the site in their usual numbers, but then give up because it’s taking forever.
Has anybody else experienced this? Please help me yell at our ISP! Thank you!

These Hitler rant videos have gotten old, but once in a while one comes along that really cracks me up.
A few times the web page wouldn’t open, or it opened then the comments section wouldn’t open. It’s been ok since then though/
I never knew Hitler felt that way about The Beatles.
It’s put me right off him.
I’m pretty sure Hitler was a Mick Jagger fan.
