nick drake on the cover of mojo and uncut

There is a very large gap between these front covers of Mojo and Uncut magazine featuring Nick Drake on the cover, but they both look great. As l am a sad bastard, l am seriously considering getting this months Uncut (the middle picture), despite already owning it, as l have the subscribers edition further below, which may be a great photograph of Nick, but l'd like the two similar looking editions.

Once again, l need more money and a bigger house.

Or treatment.

Hawkwind - Brainstorm

50 years old.  Imagine listening to music from 1923 when this was released in 1973. Unimaginable.

the beatles get back photo session

Well blow me down with a feather (Clever Trevor).  I always knew there were various photos of The Beatles proposed Get Back  album (later renamed Let it Be) on the EMI stairwell, but didn't realise the shots were done over two days, with The Beatles wearing different clothes. Later used as the cover for the 1967-70  Blue compilation (and the Get Back bootleg lp). Every day is a school day.

throwing a rock through paul mccartney's window

David Hepworth in The Guardian has reviewed Daniel Rachel's new book on The Beatles, which sounds interesting, but straight away annoyed me with inaccuracies about John Lennon's ability to throw a rock through Paul McCartney's window.

He quotes from the book...

In one passage the author wonders whether John really could have thrown a brick the 75 metres (246ft) it would have taken to break the front window of Paul’s home in St John’s Wood.

Now I admit l haven't measured the distance, but even my puny arms could manage that.

These kind of mistakes annoy me so much, so I'll probably give the book a miss.
