#beatles butcher album

[time4hemp]

This Beatles Butcher Album is just 2cool4skool. It is very comfortable to sit on but it looks too nice to do so - lololol - and I use it mostly for decoration in my home. I really love it. The print is amazing.

Deeming its "butcher cover" in poor taste, Capitol Records recalls the new Beatles album, Yesterday and Today, which is scheduled for release the next day and has already been sent to stores.

We haven’t seen an artist like him since David Bowie

I’ve always considered myself to be somewhat of a music purist.

I still listen to albums from front to back, usually on an old record player I keep next to a collection of EPs that produces a lovely scratchy sound as original masterpieces from Revolver to The Queen Is Dead turn on its table.

Those albums aren’t just important because they are musical triumphs, they’re important because they had a profound impact on the industry and influenced cultural movements that impacted society as a whole.

Without the Beatles there is no Pixies, Nirvana or Oasis. Without The Smiths there is no Stone Roses, Radiohead or The Libertines. But what those bands did for women’s liberation, gay liberation, environmentalism and working class movements is equally profound. Both are bands whose popularity was supplanted by their artistry, giving them a unique position in the annals of music history.

For me, ever since the X Factor aired on our screens, fronted by Simon Cowell with his pearly white teeth, pristine T and Twickers jeans and shoes combination, it has been the absolute antithesis of all that.

The public flogging of people out to chase their dreams has seen huge audiences flock to the show over the years as they crown acts who manage to not butcher classic covers. As Michael Rosenberg (AKA Passenger) once put it, the show “murdered music” at the altar of a few “money-grabbing pricks”. It robbed us of an original Christmas Number 1 for decades until a countermovement propelled Rage Against The Machine to the top spot. And quite right, too.

But the show has, quite miraculously, given birth to a musician who, in my view, belongs in the same category as The Beatles, The Smiths and, pertainantly, David Bowie in status.

Harry Styles, formerly of One Direction fame, is quite obviously a popular bloke. He is about to perform in front of 90,000 people at Wembley for the fourth night after completing the highest selling Scottish stadium tour ever. He has 48.9 million followers on Instagram and his 2022 hit ‘As It Was’ was the most streamed Spotify song that year.

But his popularity should not be confused with his artistry.

Styles is more than just the hoards of screaming teenage fans and strings of celebrity endorsements we’ve come to know him for. He’s actually an icon both in music and in style, and increasingly an icon in modern movements of inclusiveness and self-worth.

During a concert in Houston, Texas, in 2018, he interacted with a ten-year-old boy in the crowd who had become overcome with emotion. Styles assured the young boy, “Crying is very manly. Being vulnerable is manly”. That is fucking classy, man.

His debut album artwork, which depicts the least tattooed area of his naked body half-submerged in a pastel pink bath, similarly conveys vulnerability, femininity, reflection, and intimacy, all of which are buzzwords for new youth movements that will only grow in acceptance and popularity.

When I look at his Love on Tour show I don’t see a teenage heartthrob. I see the Beatles. I look at his fashion and I see Bowie. I look at the messages he’s sending out to kids and I see Jack Kerouac and the Beat Generation. And I see the fact that nobody is talking about him in those terms as proof that he is actually woefully underrated.

Now bring on the hate…

so i was reading Daniel Handler's essential break-up playlist. absolutely loving this

The Magnetic Fields, “The Things We Did And Didn’t Do”

Summary Of Song: I am pondering every detail of our broken relationship, including some details I made up.

Yesterday and Today (also rendered as "Yesterday" ... and Today in part of the original packaging) is a studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. Released in the United States and Canada in June 1966, it was their ninth album issued on Capitol Records and twelfth American release overall. Typical of the Beatles' North American discography until 1967, the album contains songs that Capitol had withheld from its configurations of the band's recent EMI albums, along with songs that the group had released elsewhere on non-album singles. Among its 11 tracks are songs from the EMI albums Help! and Rubber Soul, and three new 1966 recordings that would appear on Revolver in countries outside North America.

Yesterday and Today is remembered primarily for the controversy surrounding its original cover image. Known as the "butcher cover", it was taken by photographer Robert Whitaker and shows the band dressed in white coats and covered with decapitated baby dolls and pieces of raw meat. Although the photo was intended to be part of a larger work critiquing the adulation afforded the Beatles, the band members insisted it was a statement against the Vietnam War. Others interpreted it as the Beatles protesting the record company's policy of "butchering" their albums for the North American market. In response to retailers' outrage at the gory subject matter, Capitol immediately withdrew the LP and replaced the cover image with a shot of the band posed around a "steamer" trunk.

tl;dr: i'm looking for some McLennon and/or Milex blogs to follow

keep reading for my unnecessary rambling about me finding out about the McLennon and Milex fandoms and the miserable state I'm in :D but you really don't have to tho :D

okay, so the thing is: Beatles is basically part of my DNA. My grandfather was an OG Beatles fan in the '60s and passed his passion on to my mother so I literally grew up listening to it 24/7 (especially Rubber Soul - that's her fav album) so for me, listening to Beatles was about as natural as breathing. There are those 6-8 songs I've always been really, truly fond of, but never considered myself a fan or something (actually, I've found it rather annoying when I literally couldn't talk about anything without my grandfather ).

And then Now and Then came.

That fckin song tore me into small pieces, chewed me up and spat me out. I've lost my mind. Suddenly, my inherited infatuation "arrived" and I wanted to know everything about the Lennon-McCartney relationship (I mean I had bits of information cause it's literally impossible to get through a family dinner without my grandfather sprinkling some Beatles fun facts into the conversation). So I came to the most devoted source: tumblr. And I fell into this fckin rabbit hole called McLennon.

One and a half months passed. I've watched Get Back twice (my favourite parts I've seen far more than I care to admit. Like, I know all the timestamps to them by now and I feel kinda embarrassed about this fact), read about half a million words worth of McLennon fanfics, lurked on tumblr to check the McLennon tag every goddamn day, started to write a novel inspired by Now and Then (I've got almost 50K words - bless ya NaNoWriMo), and as I was doing research for the novel I accidentally fell into the Milex rabbit hole as well.

At this point, I can't not think about McLennon. I just can't. I'm eating, breathing, and bleeding McLennon. And I am miserable and lonely with all these thoughts echoing in my head and I desperately need some friends to be crazy about McLennon (or Milex) with. Or at least some quality blogs I could follow.

Please send some help! I've completely lost my mind.

If you made it so far, thank you for your time and sorry for spamming your dash (and butchering the English language like this - I'm not a native speaker as you can see :D)!

In The Rock 3/25/1966: The bizarre tale of the Butcher Cover begins at Bob Whitaker’s studio in London, as The Beatles pose in white coats with sides of meat and mutilated baby dolls for the cover of their next album, Yesterday and Today. WTF? #Beatles #WTF

[itsfireofunknownorigin-blog]

Have you heard the album Butchering The Beatles? It’s an album of heavy metal Beatles covers that I can highly recommend if you don’t know it!

I haven't but I`ll check it out. Thank you!

[evildilf2]

@fishtomale tagged me in a shuffle your music 10 times and I wanted to try it out. Add commentary!

1. Toppling Masculine Stones by Prurient

Forgot I had this album in my library, I think I added it because there was a song on it about harm OCD. As far as power electronics goes this track is nothing to write home about, but I could put it on while writing or studying maybe.

2. I Love How You Love Me by Jeff Magnum

God I fuckin love this guys voice. His cover of this song is my favorite version and it makes me feel very fragile and wounded.

3. Set We Free by Patrik Fitzgerald

Proto folk punk, it’s fine, easier listening to 90% of what came after it within the genre at least

4. Whore by Swans

Lowkey prefer the version of this song called “Butcher” but I like it still <3 Other version was on the playlist for my film.

5. Blacks by Xiu Xiu

Did you know this is one of Dennis Cooper’s favorite songs?

6. Pretty Mary Kay by Elliott Smith

I feel like his Beatles influences are most present in this song out of his whole discography if I may say… which is why I put it on a mixtape for a friend who’s a Beatles fan

7. Can’t Hardly Wait by The Replacements

Another song I’ve put on a mixtape for another friend… really such an epic track, great for LONG bus rides… love the simultaneous nostalgic atmosphere with the aspirational content of the lyrics. Really just a fantastic energy here.

8. Model Citizen by Male Tears

One of the few tracks I actually like from this band they are SO CORNYYY but whatever. I can get down to farty synths IDGAF.

9. Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode

Finally some good synthpop

10. Why You Never Became A Dancer by Whitehouse

Can I suggest you… GET FUCKED! Genuinely evil song but oh my godddd it makes me. Want to run around and throw my entire body and anything in my path I fucking love the Bird Seed album I’m sorry god I’m sorry everyone

I tag @funstyle @westerberg @born4lovingu @leofwines @thelasagnacat @julesmckenzie @zoochi-comic-humor-returns @tvrded @spiralfucker @crumb1994

Now I’m going to have La Bamba stuck in my head all day lol 

Since it won’t let me send pictures:

Top artists #1: The Beatles, #2: The Smiths, #3: David Bowie, #4: Michael Nesmith, #5: The Cramps. 

Top songs #1: Calico Girlfriend (Michael Nesmith), #2: Sad Memory (Buffalo Springfield), #3: Hello Mary Lou Goodbye Heart (Ricky Nelson), #4: Miserlou (Dick Dale), #5: Burn (The Cure)

I was a bit started by how much 60s instrumental surf rock was on this thing for me. Then I realized that that’s just what I play in the background at my work during programming. Also, I must have played Flying Purple People Eater a ton during October ��

I’m totally with you on wrapped this year! It’s so bland. Guess that’s what happens when you lean on AI. 

Game: Name 1-3 LEAST favorite songs off one of your favorite albums

-⚡️

lol get la bamba’d

(Sorry for the late reply finals has killed me)

I’m not surprised by the whole AI thing. There was an AI podcast recap and butchered the word “classics” honestly if this is how wrapped is gonna be, I’ll just go back to Apple Music and idk reveal my stats on a slideshow..spotify been treating me like shit

Based top 5 artists 🤘

Oh I remember Burn from the Crow(the good one from the 90s). That’s an epic song!

I actually did a look inspired by the Crow

It was rad(yea thats what I look like)

Anyways to answer your quesiton

For some reason

I’ve had “I want the one I can’t have” on repeat(which I’m doesn’t say anything about my subconscious or conscious idk I forgot most of AP pysch) so I’ll do Meat is Murder I guess

For the second I’d say Rusholme Ruffians

It’s just not one that comes on my rotation often. Kinda just doesn’t stick out to me it’s not my least favorite(oh got one) but it’s not one I’m dying to listen too.

Now my least favorite from the album…is the last song the title track that one

Meat is murder...ughhhhh

Look, I get it, he got traumatized from watching slaughter house footage when he was like 11, so he made part of his life mission to stop suffering of animals in meat industry...by stopping the meat industry...yea cool

But dude...this aint a good song. It's experimental with a good message I'll give it that. But bro no one’s aching to listen to it, I think I got bored one time while listening to it.

Anyways how about you?

[samwisegamgeeee]

10 11 and 12 for the wrapped ask game!

Thanks for asking!!!!

10. A song that was also in last year’s wrapped

Definitely not the only one, but of my top songs from last year, Vagabond by Caamp was the first one that I also saw when skimming thru my 2024 playlist. Last year it was #11, this year it’s been demoted to #57

My other repeats seem to be from artists and albums that always like returning to, like Caamp, Hozier, Måneskin, Raye Zaragoza… the album El Madrileño (La Sobremesa) by C Tangana

11. Most popular song (in my opinion)

Not sure really! Either I Wanna Get Better by Bleachers, Common People by Pulp, or Two of Us by the Beatles. I guess I’m interpreting the ask as the most well known songs.

12. A song you think should have been higher up

Someone else asked me this one and I said Less of You by Omar Apollo or Northern Attitude (with Hozier) by Noah Kahan but this just gives me an excuse to say ANOTHER!!

I love Butchered Tounge by Hozier so much that I’m surprised it came in at 77!
