REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 27/01/2024 (Noah Kahan/Sam Fender, Benson Boone, Becky Hill/Sonny Fodera)
I think itâs this week that Iâve realised Noah Kahan might be a bonafide star. Weâll get more to it later, but âStick Seasonâ spends a fourth week at #1 - welcome back to REVIEWING THE CHARTS!
Rundown
As always, we start with our notable dropouts, which I define as songs exiting the UK Top 75 (read the FAQ) after five weeks in the region or a peak in the top 40, and this week wasnât too busy but it did come with some fair losses. Therefore, we bid adieu to âWhen We Were Young (The Logical Song)â by David Guetta and Kim Petras, âStop Giving Me Adviceâ by Lyrical Lemonade, Jack Harlow and Dave (might be back next week given the album), âWonât Forget Youâ by Jax Jones, D.O.D and Ina Wroldsen, assisted by a (bizarrely, credited) âdonkâ edit featuring The Blackout Crew, âOne of Your Girlsâ by Troye Sivan, âMe & Uâ by Tems and FINALLY, âAnti-Heroâ by Taylor Swift. It feels like itâs been there forever.
When it comes to our returns, we see the oddity of Sam Fender returning to #35 assumingly because of a boost to âSeventeen Going Underâ that resulted from⌠well, youâll see, but otherwise, we only have a handful of notable gains that, during a pretty dreadful-looking week, show some promise, and no, I donât mean âSomeone You Lovedâ by Lewis Capaldi somehow still here at #59, more so âPraise Jah in the Moonlightâ by YG Marley at #51, âScared to Startâ by Michael Marcagi at #47, kind of grew on me, and âNothing Mattersâ by The Last Dinner Party at #41⌠and less so âToxicâ by Songer at #32, please, letâs not do this, and on that same pleading note, âAlibiâ by Ella Henderson featuring Rudimental at #26⌠why?! I suppose on a good note, Flo Milli is up to #17 with âNever Lose Meâ and I canât really complain about Natasha Bedingfieldâs second wind at #13 with âUnwrittenâ, but it is majorly a mixed bag over here.
Our biggest story, however, rests in our top five, as âHomesickâ by Noah Kahan debuts at #5, thanks to a version with Sam Fender who, surprisingly enough, is actually credited by the Official Charts Company, probably because, well, it would have no reason to as high as this without him. More on that later, but for now, itâs pretty standard elsewhere - Jack Harlowâs âLovinâ on Meâ at #4, âyes, and?â by Ariana Grande at #3, âMurder on the Dancefloorâ by Sophie Ellis-Bextor at #2 and of course, Mr. Kahan still sitting at the very top. Now we have a⌠considerably unpromising set of new songs to discuss, so I guess weâve just got to trek through that, and our starting point isâŚ
New Entries
#75 - âCoalâ - Dylan Gossett
Produced by Dylan Gossett
There arenât that many new arrivals this week but the songs apart from one all fall into being either by singer-songwriter types or working as faceless EDM, and if youâve been following this blog at all, youâd know those two styles really arenât my thing, but hey, an independent folk singer racking up a streaming giant with a song from last year, notching him licensing with Republic, it could be promising in the same way I like Zach Bryan or even Oliver Anthony, who I assume we will never see again but appears as a recommended song in Mr. Gossettâs Spotify search terms. One has to wonder why and how but first of all, the elephant in the room: Diamonds arenât made from coal.
I found several articles, both from sustainable energy advocacy outlets like TreeHugger and the people selling diamonds like With Clarity, clarifying that diamonds cannot really be made from coal. Coal is an impure carbon whilst diamonds are purer and whilst pressure is involved in the process, it is not a simple âone equals the otherâ sum, since coal has too much organic matter to be made into crystalline diamonds, especially since you can see vividly in the colour of rarer diamonds to what other chemicals may be found in them. Now Iâm tempted to believe these articles as theyâre backed by science, but if Iâm wrong and these articles are just using words I donât understand to spread a mythical debunking of an already existing myth that diamonds originate from coal, which is actually true all this time, then Iâll stand corrected. For now, the main conceit of this song, asking why under all this pressure, how the Hell heâs still âcoalâ, doesnât really make much sense, and the rest of the song reads like listing off proverbs and sayings that fit the part but he doesnât fully understand them or tie them together. Singer-songwriters are supposed to weave stories, when this feels like playing word association with common and universal wisdoms. For all of Oliver Anthonyâs imperfect wording, at least you can tie them together to refer to a specific viewpoint, seeing where those views align, without becoming vague âwoe is meâ platitudes that donât hold much reason for said pity, or really any narrative detail. You might see this as nitpicking but when itâs just a guy with a guitar, he opens himself up for interpretation and autopsy, possibilities he seems to willingly flail away by displaying disappointingly little to even work with, and as the song fills itself up with non-verses, as tightly as this kind of song can be produced without a particularly impressive vocal performance, one starts to wonder what the appeal in this even is. Itâs a non-song, letâs move on.
#71 - âIncredible Sauceâ - Giggs featuring Dave
Produced by Payday and David Morse
The #1 album this week was Green Dayâs best album in decades. I have a full first-impressions review of Saviors on my RateYourMusic listening log (exclusivelytopostown) and whilst I understand that sales factor in here, Iâd have loved for the only song here that bucks the categorical trends I laid out earlier to be a cut from that record. Instead, we have a Giggs song from last year that Iâm honestly surprised has yet to chart already, given the Dave feature and that it was released in August of last year. Apart from the⌠choice of a name, I still donât really know what level of quality to expect from Giggs, outside of a comical menace that emerges largely from his attempt to be âlaidbackâ that can more accurately be described as an active  coveting of his natural voice to sound much more relaxed than he really is, considering heâs never sounded comfortable with a flow he picks out, which becomes especially clear with Dave on the hook as he actually pulls off sounding effortless. Giggsâ delivery honestly reminds me of Dean Bluntâs satirical British rap project Babyfather more than anything, especially with the half-asleep cadences leaving so much dead air in this eerie, stagnant trap beat. The song doesnât end with a piece of classic Dave wordplay, though heâs not on his A-game here comparing himself to Sonic the Hedgehog, it just ends with âLingerie on a special occasionâ⌠okay. Thatâs barely even a flex, why does it punctuate the trackâs final moments? This is just another ugly showing of substanceless pretence from Dave over a pretty minimal beat with an absolutely worthless performance from Giggs, whose verses feel double the length and really halt any possible fun that could be had from Daveâs bite-size verse. Somehow, this ends up much like âCoalâ - thereâs just nothing here.
#39 - âWhateverâ - Kygo and Ava Max
Produced by, well, Kygo
Speaking of nothingness, welcome back, Kygo and Ava Max⌠Jesus Christ. Okay, well, if anything is the saving grace this week outside of #5, it will be this.
I have just checked the sample credits, I have bad news. To delay the suffering, I will say that I kind of like the production here, the acoustics remind me of Aviciiâs pretty seamless blend of folk pop with the anthemic festival house that defined much of his catalogue. Kygo has always been a detailed producer who pays much attention to ensuring his songs are as easy as possible on the ears, and he succeeds in the sense of this being a very pretty little tune with depths of cute synth pads, guitar rolicks and plucky percussion. Ava Max herself actually impresses me a tad here vocally, mostly because since this is a Kygo song, she can belt without clipping unnecessarily in the mix for once. However, and this is a big however, the main hook of the song, its crux, if you will, is a direct interpolation and rewording of the iconic melody to Shakiraâs âWhenever, Whereverâ, a 2001 single that debuted and peaked at #2 for two weeks in 2002 here in the UK, being kept off the top spot by Will Youngâs double A-side of âAnything is Possibleâ and âEvergreenâ. I canât believe such a classic was blocked by not even Westlife, but a Westlife COVER, yet I digress, this is just a lazy and frankly obnoxious way of using the songâs chorus. Kygo is clearly dipping into the David Guetta pool of reskinning prior hits, and I will give it to him that heâs not just redoing a classic EDM track, this is largely a unique house single, but that may make the last-resort hook that much more disappointing. Iâm disappointed in you, Kygo. Not you, Ava Max, you can just do whatever. Albania forever.
#36 - âSkin and Bonesâ - David Kushner
Produced by Rob Kirwin
Oh, weâre actually making David Kushner a thing, fantastic, that other song just had so much to offer, didnât it? I feel like I can very quickly summarise this melodramatic, uber-serious noir piano ballad, deepened by some of the ugliest froggy-sounding snaps Iâve heard in pop music and only plunged further into sludge by Kushnerâs insufferable lyrics, by just a stray observation. When I clicked on the Genius annotation for the first verse of this song, it was completely empty. At least to the first verse, thereâs literally nothing there: an empty annotation box. It may just be a glitch on my part, or it was deleted for whatever reason, but regardless, I think this exemplifies how little this song has to offer: someone attempted to just touch upon the pretty self-explanatory first verse, attempted to offer some wisdom or deeper analysis that seems granted with the cinematic grandeur of it all, and couldnât cough anything up. Once again, thereâs just nothing here.
#34 - âNever be Aloneâ - Becky Hill and Sonny Fodera
Produced by Sonny Fodera
I mean⌠it has a pulse at least. In fact, this is much more interesting than I expected for Becky, and not necessarily in a lyrical front, simply because she does not need to do much more than recite boardroom word association over four-on-the-floor, but moreso with her vicious delivery, going into an attack that sounds like it was overpowering the mix before being blended a bit more clearly into the nostalgic breakbeat hardcore rhythm that punctuates a surprisingly long build-up into a⌠surprisingly unique drop. This is really just a flex show for Sonny Fodera here, but Becky stepped up to the plate to match his passion and energy, bringing more of a rough instinct to the trickling alien synth critter that grounds the 90s pads and rock-solid breakbeats into a killer pre-drop that genuinely took me aback, as did this drop, which completely ditches the breakbeats for a tense hardcore kick and more atmospheric, glitching pads that run through the mix like a spiralling staircase, as Beckyâs vocalising becomes little more than an inhuman drone until itâs removed altogether. The intensity of the track, filling up the mix with padded quirks even when the breakbeats are relegated to simple fills, is genuinely unprecedented for Becky Hill, and Iâm actually really glad that she is not only on hopping on much more effective and unique production, but stepping out of her comfort zone to riff and meander in a way that she never really lets herself do, even in her looser songs. I am honestly quite shocked, but this is fantastic. If this doesnât smash like much of Beckyâs tighter, more restrictive cuts have in the past few years, I will be immensely disappointed.
#18 - âBeautiful Thingsâ - Benson Boone
Produced by Evan Blair
Sigh⌠one of my first thoughts when Kushner had success with âDaylightâ was how much he seemed cut from the same cloth as Mr. Boone over here, and to be completely honest, the concept of the two charting the same week chased me in my worst of nightmares. Hey, at least my dreams have become reality! To be fair to Booner Boy here, he has what Khrushchev and Gossamer lacked: genuine lyrical detail in the verses. There is a certain dichotomy between the universalities of the choruses and pre-chorus compared to the pretty niche and incredibly lucky situation heâs found himself in during the verses, it almost reminds me of Tom Odellâs âBlack Fridayâ given its wordy mundanity, but thatâs only lyrically, as I donât hear much here connecting the two sonically, especially given the faint bass and reliance on soaring guitars on âBeautiful Thingsâ that makes it almost more of a pop rock tune, one that is surprisingly willing to ditch much of its initial build-up for a desperate screech over stop-and-start staccato guitar rhythms that go way harder than I expected. This is what Iâve been saying Lewis Capaldi should be doing for years, if these moan and drone singer-songwriter sadboys are going to have their voice fit over anything, itâs not basic adult contemporary swells, itâs melodramatic, no-holds-barred pop rock, and this honestly becomes pretty killer by that first chorus. The guy can let out a desperate cry, and Iâll be damned if heâs not convincing as he airs out his paranoia about this perfect relationship breaking down. The second chorus could use some deviation, but Iâm a sucker for radio rock that takes itself way too seriously and considering his dire earlier material, this may as well be Mr. Boone: The Animated Series. I really want to hear more of this from this guy, and it seems that these last few songs may be the light at the end of the tunnel for an unpromising week.
#5 - âHomesickâ - Noah Kahan and Sam Fender
Produced by Noah Kahan and Gabe Simon
Okay, itâs Noah Kahan: there is a base level of quality here and I am actually always excited to hear a new song from him because at least thereâs always a lot to uncover and appreciate even if the song isnât great or has some grating element throwing a spanner in the cogs. This is especially true with Sam Fender in play, as this raises the standard of quality to at least bearable and at its worst, itâs going to be an interesting and perhaps powerful narrative⌠and if weâre talking about lyrical detail, I mean, Kahanâs your man, almost too much so given some of the awkward wording in that original version from his Stick Season album. On hearing those church organs sliding just slightly off the careening heartland rock groove, I knew exactly why Mr. Fender ended up on this specific song, and this actually lets Kahan let out a little, have a little more fun as he vocalises playfully about his frustrations, delivered largely in the form of punchlines, about his slow small town, with the chorus being him breaking down and basically begging for a reason to grab him out of that place, even if itâs where he grew up, using an on-the-nose but still fun play on words with the term âhomesickâ. I do wish there was a bit more to its mid-section, it feels like it stagnates a bit once we reach the chorus for the first time, mostly structurally. I want to hear more of Kahanâs stray, funny observations, but we donât really get more of that even with the ramped-up intensity and a guitar solo way too Weezer-coded for me to not get a stupid grin on my face.
As for the Fender version, well, this is the best-implemented anyone has been in these Kahan duets yet, given Fender brings a new verse giving a unique and personal story about the background of riots in northern England that informed his town, injecting further reason to why one may be Kahanâs form of âhomesickâ, but also, despite being more strikingly intimate and less darkly comic in his observations, finding a valid and heartfelt reason to live his life outside of that home town: the dreams his father set out for him lay far away from where they were instilled. It adds a lot of depth to the song, and whilst Kahan and Fender donât play off each other incredibly well, they have a decent chemistry that from interviews with Dork and People seem to have arisen from very similar hapless upbringings and recurring topics in both catalogues. Additionally, I like Fenderâs voice more than Kahanâs, and the harmonies fill out the  mix so itâs a tad more impactful, so I think this new version actually beats out the original. Iâm also pretty happy that this week, starting off with a lot of mediocrity and not exactly a promising set of artists for me, personally, ended up surprising me with that three-track run by the end, and trailing off with two killer rock songs is the best way to make me feel a lot happier about a week as a whole.
Conclusion
Iâm relatively predictable, especially when we get alt-rock on the charts, so I feel like despite how much I liked the Becky Hill song, itâs no surprise that Benson Boone ends up snabbing an insanely close Best of the Week for âBeautiful Thingsâ. It was pretty much neck-and-neck with âHomesickâ by Noah Kahan and Sam Fender, which is of course the Honourable Mention, and whilst I think that it is lyrically more insightful, thereâs an instinctual raucousness to the emotion in The Booney Oneâs track that just hits that bit harder. As for the worst, I mean David Kushner obviously gets Worst of the Week pretty much effortlessly with âSkin and Bonesâ, but I do think I was just frustrated enough with Dylan Gossett to grant his song âCoalâ with the Dishonourable Mention. At least Giggs wasnât trying to say anything profound, and if he was, then I sincerely worry for him.
Whatâs on the horizon next? God knows, itâs January, but Justin Timberlake has a comeback single, Tom Odell has an album, it may be the week of even more whiny white dudes. Story of my life. Thank you for reading and Iâll see you perhaps a bit earlier than next week.

Like A Rolling Stone (Highway 61 Revisited, 1965)
Al Kooper on how he hustled his way into the making of Dylanâs cryptic fairy tale and all-time greatest song.
âI began my professional music career as a member of The Royal Teens in 1959, becoming a professional songwriter shortly thereafter and teaming up with lyricists Bob Brass & Irwin Levine. By 1965 Iâd befriended producer Tom Wilson at Columbia Records at 799 7th Avenue in New York City. Tom was riding high as the producer of Bob Dylan, of whom I was a big fan. After a while, the others that worked on his floor got used to me coming and going whether Tom was there or not. Occasionally Iâd âborrowâ unreleased acetates of Dylanâs albums in progress and take them home overnight and make a tape copy for my own enjoyment. Tom would also invite me on occasion to the New York Giants football teamâs Sunday games, where he had excellent seats. I was about 21-years-old but I knew when to speak and when not to.
Then one day, out of the freakinâ blue, Tom invites me to an afternoon Dylan session. Itâs Wednesday June 16 and theyâve already done a dayâs work on a handful of songs â one theyâve been calling Phantom Engineer but will turn into It Takes a Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry; another theyâve started and have all of today to get right. Iâm carefully instructed to sit in the control room and be as invisible as possible.
The session is to begin at 2pm. So I get there at 12.30pm with my electric guitar and amp and begin to warm up like I truly belong there. After about ten minutes, Dylan comes blasting in the door along with a guitarist who has his guitar on his shoulder like a rifle. Only itâs raining outside and the caseless guitar is as wet as can be.
The guitarist is Mike Bloomfield. Iâve read about him in Sing Out! magazine â he is in the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, whatever that is. The other musicians are mostly a crew of dependable guys that do this for a living: among them, drummer Bobby Gregg, pianist Paul Griffin and bassist Joe Macho Jr. The only one I know by sight is Griffin. I had hired him a few times for songwriting demos. An excellent player and a really nice guy.
Bloomfield comes over to where Iâm sitting with my guitar and says hello â he wipes the rain off his guitar with a rag and plugs into a Fender amp and starts warming up. This shocks me as I have never heard someone my age play with the skill and tone he has. I quickly put my guitar in its case, slide it under a bench, and get my ass into the control room where I actually belong (and just in time as Tom Wilson enters five minutes later).
The band begins to rehearse the song Dylan wants to start off with. Wilson begins getting sounds on each instrument. Paul Griffin is playing organ and Dylan is playing an electric Fender Stratocaster! This blows my mind - acoustic Bob goes electric! The song is over six minutes long and Bloomfield is instantly mesmerizing. After three takes Wilson moves Paul Griffin from organ to piano.
While they are moving the piano around and miking it. Everyone takes a break. I go out to the studio and sit at the organ which is fortunately still plugged in and turned on. Itâs very complicated to turn an organ on and I havenât acquired that knowledge yet. The piano is tuned. Wilson starts over the talkback: 'This is Like A Rolling Stone Take 4.' He pauses and sees me behind the organ. 'What are you doing out there?' he says and the other musicians laugh and, thank God, so does Wilson. He appears to relent and says, 'OK, this is Take 4.'
After the intro, I wait until everyone else plays a chord and then I come in. Pretty quickly I memorize the chords - thereâs only five! - and then I begin to play parts. This is the first complete take of the session, so they play back all six minutes of it. Now I go in the booth and sit at the end of a bench. After the first chorus Bob says to Tom Wilson, 'Make the organ louder.' Tom says, 'You know that guyâs not an organ player, right?' Bob says, 'I donât care â just turn it up in the mix!'
And that my friends, was the beginning of my soon-to-be real career.â

my jim morrison:
he reads me his poetry and dissects mine. he tousles my hair and says he loves my brain. we argue about who's the better muse. some nights we smoke and others we drink, and we'll switch off choosing records to play. he blushes easy, but he loves to put on a show. i like to kiss his cheek and lay my head on his shoulder. he teases me a lot, in more ways than one. he calls me bella and surprises me with wildflower bouquets. he laughs with me and cries with me and loves with me.
he plays me like his fender. and he wears this necklace with a pic pendant that he made himself. and when he fucks me it sits on my tounge like a tab. his kisses burn hot and his hands run rouge. even his moans sound like melodies.
when he walks around the room the light follows him. he comes with a mazzy star backtrack you cant turn down. when heâs with me heâs candlelight and vanilla bean. when heâs on stage heâs blackberry merlo and clove cigarettes.
he's so new york. he's loud, he never sleeps. he compares the chealsea to the marmont and doesn't understand why theyre different. he prefers ultraviolence to nfr. he says california doesn't have seasons, he says our coffee is too light.
but heâs excited to drive us across town for ice cream we could get down the street. even though he doesnât get la, he wants to. he listens to me talk about the rainbow grill and the hollywood bowl. on monday evenings we go up to the store where creatures meet and drink mexican cokes. he hums love street and spins me around upon our every arrival.
heâs cool and calm and glows golden. he moves carefully. heâs patient, iâve never seen him in a rush. everything he touches seems to start blooming. hazy days in la spent listening to him name riffs after me. heâs in his boxers and so am i. hes the speckles of sun that peak through tree leaves. he made me fall in love with spring.
he calls me his love and means it. he takes joy in making my hair messy. he loves using my legs as his keyboard when the radio is on. he loves bob dylan and dancing with me whenever he can, even though he knows iâm bad at it. our conversations are like tennis and they get us excited just the same. never to win, but playing for the love of the game.
when weâre with our friends heâll make up campfire songs about anything and everything. he knows how to excite a room, he knows how to light people up. he is the most gentle soul with the most exciting heart. and heâs all mine. to spend forever with.
he is music and light and laughter in their truest form.

ChatYahoo_Lisa: Why did you re-visit it? george_harrison_live: At the time, the song was so popular and also so controversial that the most important thing about it for me was that it george_harrison_live: in it's small way george_harrison_live: conjured up a touch of spirituality george_harrison_live: something we are very short of... ChristopherClause asks: Hi George! Christopher here! Thank you for being such an inspiration! What was it like working with Phil Spector? Although I can hear his influence, your "influence" and leadership in the production is clear. God bless you, George! george_harrison_live: Phil Spector was prob the greatest producer from the 60s and it was good to work with him because I needed some assistance in the control box. george_harrison_live: Phil is very funny george_harrison_live: loveable george_harrison_live: we love him :) mebissy asks: I have several teenage friends who've just discovered All Things Must Pass. They were wondering about radio airplay. I explained that this was a re-mastered, etc. album - a re-release essentially. They, however (as do I) feel the music is just as cool as it was when you first released the work. Wouldn't it be great if a single was selected and the whole cycle could start again? george_harrison_live: It's nice to know that teenagers find All Things Must Pass *cool* george_harrison_live: As far as a single goes, george_harrison_live: I suppose that's really up to Capitol Records george_harrison_live: I have no objection! melissay1 asks: Hi, Mr. Harrison, how do you feel about the Beatles 1 album being top of the charts? george_harrison_live: It's very nice george_harrison_live: It's also nice that young children seem to be hearing it for the first time george_harrison_live: and I think as an alternative form of music for today george_harrison_live: it has its place alongside all this other stuff. captainwombat_2000 asks: Out of curiosity, why the garden gnomes on All Things Must Pass? george_harrison_live: Originally, when we took the photo george_harrison_live: I had these old Bavarian gnomes george_harrison_live: which I thought I would put there george_harrison_live: like kinda... John, Paul, George and Ringo george_harrison_live: gnomes are very popular in Europe george_harrison_live: and these gnomes were made in about 1860 george_harrison_live: so, while building the website george_harrison_live: the gnomes just seemed to get into it and we just couldn't stop them! gearfabasitwere asks: Is Indian music still a big infuence on your music? george_harrison_live: Yes! ChatYahoo_Lisa: anything particular? george_harrison_live: Check out U. Srinivas a South Indian electric mandolin player george_harrison_live: eat your heart out Van Halen! moosefalva101 asks: Following the incident at your house on Dec. 1999 has your outlook on life changed at all? george_harrison_live: Yes and no george_harrison_live: Adi Shankara an Indian historical, spiritual, groovy-type person once said george_harrison_live: "Life is fragile, like a raindrop on a lotus leaf." george_harrison_live: and you better believe it! Nicole_Paul asks: I am curious about your website and the way the cover photo is altered by adding roads and urban development to the picture. Does that symbolize anything? george_harrison_live: Yes. george_harrison_live: It symbolizes that our world is being concreted over. Haven't you noticed? bluejeanbaby42001 asks: George, you have quite a reputation as a gardener...What are some of your "pride & joy" plants? Love, Dianne george_harrison_live: Well, for the cooler climates (as in England) george_harrison_live: The current trend is definitely toward Miscanthus george_harrison_live: You'll find many lovely varieties george_harrison_live: try the Zebrensis and also the Malepartis george_harrison_live: However, george_harrison_live: if you're gardening in the tropics george_harrison_live: I think you'll find a lovely little ginger called Kahili :P a_t_m98 asks: Mr. Harrison.. what is the opening chord you used for "A Hard Days Night"? george_harrison_live: It is F with a G on top (on the 12-string) george_harrison_live: But you'll have to ask Paul about the bass note to get the proper story. hari_girl asks: What do you think of Eminem's grammy nomination? george_harrison_live: What's Eminem? george_harrison_live: Aren't they choclates or something? beatles_lvr asks: You started the "band aid" movement; who would you help today? Love you George!! george_harrison_live: Bob Geldof! Moyette asks: What did you record with Bill Wyman last month? george_harrison_live: :) An old Ketty Lester song called "Love Letters" sharonconcannon2000 asks: Why was "I Live For You" left out of the original mix? (I think it's lovely, thank you for putting out at last!) george_harrison_live: I didn't think that we had got a good enough take on it. george_harrison_live: Except for Pete Drake, the pedal steel guitar player. george_harrison_live: At that time, I had so many other tracks as well, george_harrison_live: so we just left it off. george_harrison_live: It did need patching up george_harrison_live: in the drum department. pcpalmiere asks: How close are you to releasing that boxed set of unreleased songs and demos you talked about in Billboard some time back? george_harrison_live: Well, hopefully during this year I should at least get out a new album and all the other boxes of unreleased demos could possibly follow in 18 months. I'm trying to get everything that has ever been done out there. It'll just take a little time. nikolaidisgm asks: George, what do you miss most about John Lennon? george_harrison_live: John Lennon. michaelcalcina asks: George: In the Anthology book, you talk about the unwound G string. What is that? I play guitar and I'm not sure what you're talking about. george_harrison_live: It's one of those little things that goes up your butt so that people can't see your pantylines. george_harrison_live: No, It's actually a 3rd string that doesn't have a winding around it. spongeweed70508 asks: Does Paul still piss you off (tell us the truth) george_harrison_live: Scan not a friend with a microscopic glass -- You know his faults -- Then let his foibles pass. george_harrison_live: Old Victorian Proverb. george_harrison_live: I'm sure there's enough about me that pisses him off, but I think we have now grown old enough to realize george_harrison_live: that we're both pretty damn cute! incantataa asks: Mr. Harrison, I was wondering if you might tell us a bit about your ideas on love. Romantic love, that is. I recall you having written some of the Beatles' most beatiful love songs. It would be interesting to hear how your religious attitudes have impacted your beliefs concerning romanticism. george_harrison_live: Well, the lover that we miss is actually God. george_harrison_live: The beauty that you see within each other is actually God. george_harrison_live: So, Krishna was the greatest romanticist. He had girlfriends on every corner! george_harrison_live: I can't seperate the two -- a beautiful girl is the divine mother, a beautiful man is the manifestation of potential. fabzzy asks: You're joking in a most Pythonistic manner tonight George.., it's great to hear you online!!! george_harrison_live: PISS OFF!! george_harrison_live: You nosy bastard! i_arcos asks: Is it true that you recorded "Homeward Bound" with P. Simon? george_harrison_live: I recorded that with Paul Simon on Saturday Night Live back in 1853. tnntxx asks: George, given the drug experimentation of the 60's, how do you feel about the legalitzation of pot? george_harrison_live: Well, I saw someone on TV last night pulling out huge loads of pot out of various fields in California. My feeling is... george_harrison_live: as long as you can go into a store and buy george_harrison_live: whiskey george_harrison_live: bourbon george_harrison_live: and all the rest of it george_harrison_live: then, a little grass is nothing. george_harrison_live: the authorities are just causing the price to be high -- 'scuse the pun. ckeavenyuk asks: Have you any tips to budding songwiters? Do you, as John apparantly advised you stick at it until you have finished it. george_harrison_live: Try and write some melodies. And some words that mean something. george_harrison_live: It is true that if you are on a roll, then it's best to finish it in one go. george_harrison_live: That's what Johnny said. kdtash asks: Any chance that the Dark Horse material, esp. Shankar Family and Friends will be released on CD? george_harrison_live: Well, along with my own catalog of records george_harrison_live: the other Dark Horse records george_harrison_live: hopefully will be finding a new home george_harrison_live: and coming out on CDs (remastered) sometime in the future. mp0071999 asks: Hey George will you be ever be back on Yahoo? george_harrison_live: Possibly. It's pretty painless for me. kyntire2001 asks: Happy Birthday (a little early).

What did the engraving say? george_harrison_live: It's a Maclaren strat and it had a metal chassis number plate on the back. george_harrison_live: Thank you all! george_harrison_live: May God bless you all. george_harrison_live: Don't forget to say all your prayers tonight. george_harrison_live: Be good little souls. george_harrison_live: Lots of Love! george_harrison_live: George. george_harrison_live: :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) ChatYahoo_Lisa: Thank you sooo much for joining us....pretty please come back soon! george_harrison_live: Check out allthingsmustpass.com. george_harrison_live: for further entertainment!

MSN chat transcript - George Harrison, February 15, 2001
DishDiva : Welcome to MSN Live! Today we are pleased to welcome George Harrison to MSN. DishDiva : Please join me in welcoming Mr. George Harrison to MSN Live! DishDiva : Today we will be talking with George Harrison about the re-release of "All Things Must Pass." DishDiva : George, welcome to MSN Live! George_Harrison_Live : Hello, good evening! George_Harrison_Live : How's your father! How's your uncle? DishDiva : George, the Internet was not a part of your promotion last time around for "All Things Must Pass." What part does the Internet play in promotion for "ALL Things Must Pass" now? George_Harrison_Live : I suppose the fact that it is just like this and everyone is listening.It eliminates the time of someone printing up a Newspaper. DishDiva : SR says: Is it true that you were really asked to join the beatles because you knew all the chords to "Twenty Flight Rock"? George_Harrison_Live : No! Paul knew "Twenty Flight Rock" but I did too. DishDiva : Spockmiester55 Asks: What is the difference between the old and new release if any? George_Harrison_Live : The new release is remastered and is much much better to the record that existed up until now and it has five bonus tracks on it. It also has new packaging. DishDiva : Sherwood Asks: Will your other past releases receive the deluxe treatment as "Pass" did? George_Harrison_Live : It depends really. They will all be remastered. Whether the artwork will change, I don't know. It depends what we feel at the time and what the record company feels at the time. DishDiva : alina says: Do you remember how you felt making "All Things Must Pass"? DishDiva : jerryfender Asks: Don't you miss the old packaging with albums vs CD's? All Things Must Pass was great because even the box was huge! George_Harrison_Live : Twelve inch square artwork gets you more scope and greater impact.Those days the album cover used to be part of the overall package. It seems to become less important because it is smaller and not so many people are interested in the artwork. DishDiva : doodah says: Where were you spiritually then when you wrote the lyrics for "My Sweet Lord", and where are you now spritually, have you grown? George_Harrison_Live : Somebody said a very famous Indian saint said "if there is a God, we must see him. And if there is a soul we must perceive it." In the West they still argue if God really exists. Basically, I am in the same place. The song really came from Swami Vivekananda. DishDiva : iluvgeorge says: Will you be touring? George_Harrison_Live : At the moment, no. DishDiva : lidbaby says: Any musicians you like right now? George_Harrison_Live : Hoagy Carmichael. There are many, many, many musicians. DishDiva : babe says: Is most of what's been written about you pure rubbish? Is there any one book that's more accurate than any other? George_Harrison_Live : The one that is the most accurate is "The Beatles" by the Beatles. When a book is written by someone who doesn't like you, it may not be very good. DishDiva : WildingTangent Asks: Are you still writing and recording songs? How would your style of music these days? George_Harrison_Live : I am still doing that, yes. Hopefully, there will be one coming out at the end of the year. DishDiva : tedsblues Asks: Re: recording...analog or digital? George_Harrison_Live : I have always recorded analog except when I was in a live concert. Generally, I record on analog but I hear that digital these days are getting better. The bandwidth is getting better. DishDiva : arainyfriday Asks: Looking back, how do you view your book "I, Me, Mine"? If it were to be re-released, would you make changes based on perspective you have gained over the years? George_Harrison_Live : It was ok for the time. I thought it was well made. It was an excuse to have a nice leather book like the Bible.⨠DishDiva : liam0241 Asks: What was the inspiration for the song 'Run of the Mill' George_Harrison_Live : There was an expression that came from Yorkshire where they made fabric. Run of the mill just means average. I was using that phrase more or less, because, the Beatles were just splitting up. I don't know if they had that expression in America. DishDiva : sasha says: Hi Mr. Harrison. My dad and I like your site. Did you do it? George_Harrison_Live : I am not a technician. But I sat with people from Radical Media. They came to my house and set up the computers. The technicians did it and I kept thinking of ideas.I didn't have a concept of what a website was and I still don't understand the concept. I wanted to see little people poking each other with sticks much like Monty Python. DishDiva : You can check out George Harrison's website at http://www.allthingsmustpass.com DishDiva : rico Asks: What do you wish you could do, that you have'nt done already? George_Harrison_Live : Dematerialize my body. DishDiva : OKRichH says: I consider this a great priviledge to chat with you. Was the recording of "All Things Must Pass" a fulfilling outlet for you? George_Harrison_Live : Yeah, at the time it was very fulfilling- a chance to do a record of my own material. DishDiva : Brit says: What's the most popular misconception about you that people have? George_Harrison_Live : That I am serious. Pisces are depicted as two fish going in opposite directions. Many people do not see the humorous side. It is just as big! DishDiva : Beat says: Are you interested in all in the different sounds that electronics can add to guitar sounds, or are you more of a 'back to basics' advocate? George_Harrison_Live : More of back to basics. I really like the sounds they had in the 50's. Now you just buy something and plug it in. You can sound like Jimi Hendrix or whoever and everyone sounds the same. DishDiva : jediprincess00 Asks: what would you like to say to the younger generation that looks up to you? George_Harrison_Live : Try to realize what the purpose of being in a body is. There is only one purpose really and that is what you have to try to not forget. Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? DishDiva : George, it has been a pleasur having you as our guest tonight! George_Harrison_Live : Lots of love and kevlar to everyone! George_Harrison_Live : It has been nice talking to you. Please enjoy the website! Ask_Questions_Live : The preceding is ( c ) 2001 MSN Live Thanks to our guest, hosts and to everyone that came to today's chat! Please remember that due to the number of questions received, it was not possible for our guest to answer each one individually. Thanks for coming to MSNLive! DishDiva : Again, you can check out George Harrison's website at http://www.allthingsmustpass.com DishDiva : You can also pick up the re-release, including, "My Sweet Lord" online at http://eshop.msn.com DishDiva : The transcript of tonight's very special event will be available later at http://chat.msn.com/msnlive

âHis trademark is wearing formal suits, usually a different one for each show. Albert is usually seen playing an olympian white Fender Stratocaster, or bandmate Nick Valensi's Les Paul Jr. He is usually associated with the "rhythm" guitar portion of the majority of Strokes songs, and most solos are played by Valensi. The solos in which Albert does play are Last Nite, Trying Your Luck, Take It Or Leave It, Under Control, The End Has No End, Ize Of The World, and Vision Of Division. His solos tend to focus largely on more emotional, "bluesy"-type melodical work, and the guitar tends to have a cleaner, softer tone in comparison to Valensi's (with a noteable exception found in Vision Of Division). He often holds the guitar in a high horizontal position, similar to Bob Dylan and Ian Curtis.â

Patti Smith Group / John Cale / Television - The Palladium, New York City, December 31, 1976
I finally got around to Sonic Life, Thurston Moore's recent memoir, this month! You can read a few of my quick thoughts about it (along with some other nice recommendations) in the latest edition of the Aquarium Drunkard Book Club. As I mention, I was a little surprised at how much I enjoyed Thurston's memories of his teenage years, way before Sonic Youth was even a twinkle in his eye â A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Fan? From the suburbs of Connecticut, Moore made countless trips into NYC to soak in the punk/CBGB/Max's worlds, catching shows by The Ramones, Suicide, the Dead Boys, Sid Vicious ... and Patti Smith, of course.
Thurston paints an evocative portrait of this New Year's Eve blowout, which doubled as Patti's raucous 30th birthday party. He was dangerously high on mescaline.
"We zombied our way down the street to the Palladium and found our seats, and I sat in a state of tenuous control as Television arrived onstage. I figured if I just maintained my cool, the mescaline's threat of wiping out my sanity would begin to subside and all would be okay. 'A song by Dylan' â were the only words I remember Tom Verlaine saying to the audience as the band began to play a plaintive cover of 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door.' By the time John Cale and his group came onstage, I felt as though I were sliding slowly down the side of a porcelain sink, managing only the barest of friction, my reality threatening to fall into a drain hole never to return. I was gripped by the fear of losing myself completely, another entry on the list of acid casualties. I concentrated on specific thoughts, pinpricks of salvation that I'd cling to, slip from, then hold on to again. I feared that if I closed my eyes, I would be forever vanquished."
Happy new year?! All these decades later we can enjoy the Palladium gig via dusty audience tapes â your call if you want to drop a tab of mescaline while you listen. Interesting to hear Television at this point, with Marquee Moon more or less in the can, playing a much larger venue than ever before. They'd just finished several nights in a row at CB's â which is maybe that's why they sound a littttttle bit tired. But there's plenty of sweet stuff, of course, including a truly go-for-broke "Kingdom Come." Billy Ficca, baby! Cale, meanwhile, happily provides a bad trip soundtrack for Thurston's bad trip â a short but powerful set highlighted by a maniacal "Guts" and an even more maniacal "Fear Is A Man's Best Friend." That guy sure could scream.
And what about the belle of the ball â Patti herself? Let's hand it back to Thurston, who had recovered a bit by the start of her set. Here, he describes the all-star finale with Fred "Sonic" Smith joining the melee.
"Fred and Patti had become an item. Now here was Fred onstage, unassuming and spectral, as Patti howled and whirled. With 'My Generation' culminating in obligatory destruction, all players would eventually leave the stage except for the two Smiths. Like Fred, Patti had a Fender Duo-Sonic strapped on, and she leaned her head on her sweetheart's shoulder as both their guitars emitted a whistling-bird noise of feedback through the amps. How this translated to everyone around me, I couldn't say. For me, it was an emblematic vision of all I would ever desire from rock 'n' roll â transcendence, devotion, sonic love."

playing the guitar
hey there! welcome back. letâs talk about why playing the guitar is such a fantastic hobby. đ¸
playing the guitar is a great way to relax and express yourself. it improves your hand-eye coordination, boosts your creativity, and can even enhance your memory and concentration. plus, itâs super fun and can be a great way to connect with others through music.
ready to start strumming? hereâs a step-by-step guide to help you begin your guitar journey:
choose your guitar: decide between an acoustic or electric guitar. acoustic guitars are great for beginners because theyâre straightforward and donât require extra equipment like amplifiers.
get the right gear: youâll need a guitar, a tuner, a few picks, and a capo. a guitar strap and a case are also useful.
learn the parts of the guitar: familiarize yourself with the different parts of the guitar, like the headstock, neck, body, and strings.
tune your guitar: use a tuner to get your guitar in standard tuning (E A D G B e). this is crucial for making sure your guitar sounds good.
learn basic chords: start with simple chords like C, G, D, and E minor. these are the building blocks for many songs.
practice strumming patterns: get comfortable with basic strumming patterns. this will help you keep a steady rhythm.
play simple songs: pick easy songs to practice, like âknockinâ on heavenâs doorâ by bob dylan or âthree little birdsâ by bob marley. this will help you apply what youâve learned.
practice regularly: consistency is key. try to practice a little bit every day to build muscle memory and improve your skills.
explore different genres: once youâre comfortable, try playing different styles of music like rock, blues, or folk to keep things interesting.
here are a couple of youtube videos to help you get started:
how to play guitar - easy first guitar lesson for beginners! by dylan laine
how to play guitar (your first guitar lesson) by fender
happy strumming! what kind of music are you excited to learn on the guitar? đś

For year in review pretty please - 2, 9, 14, and 19!
thank you thank you friend <3 from this ask game
2. Whatâs something new that you tried in a fic this year?
In false confidence, for the first time I covered the same bit of plot from two different POVs. I was really unsure of it, I thought it might be boring to the audience and worried I wouldn't be able to do Ted's POV justice, but I think it worked.
9. What fic made you feel the happiest to work on?
what do you call a greyhound in a heat wave?
14. What were your go-to writing songs?
False Confidence by Noah Kahan, Seventeen Going Under by Sam Fender, I Can Do It With a Broken Heart by Taylor Swift and Coal by Dylan Gossett, all were in my top 20 and definitely listened a lot while writing. I didn't make playlists for all my fics, but the ones for False Confidence and There Is No Other Land definitely got a lot of play time.
19. Share your favorite piece of dialogue
it's more than a line but a bit i love in you inhert the sins, you inherit the flames:
âHow did Ted take it when you told him you only hired him to tank the club?â Rebecca took another sip of wine, âHe forgave me.â âThat arsehole.â âI know!â âIâm not Ted,â Jamie said, grey eyes locked on hers, but there wasnât malice in them, just melancholy. âI know.â

THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE LAUNDRY WITH BRENDA KAHN
In Features, Interviews by Jason L.05.28.19
Originally published at Hard Rock RPM
Poet. Guitarist. Songwriter. Publisher. Activist. Mother. Brenda Kahnâs music career stretches from the anti-folk scene of the East Village in the early 1990s to a recently published book of poetry about parenting aptly titled The Good, The Bad, And The Laundry. Along the way, Kahn recorded with her friend Jeff Buckley, played Lilith Fair multiple times, ran a website focused on women in music, and answered the call when Bob Dylan wanted her to open a show. While she may have traded the drug dealers of Avenue A for her children and a life in the countryside, Kahnâs keen eye for detail continues to serve her well.
...
The Ryan Adams news was not the least surprising in terms of the issues that persist in the business. How much of that did you experience during your career? While I feel like the 90s were a hugely successful time for women in music, I am terrified to imagine what the artists were experiencing.
I think this is finally changing because of access to the internet. I wish Iâd been able to google âShould I get a Fender or a Gibson guitarâ.  Or âwhat are the chords to âLike a Rolling Stoneâ back when I was in high school. I met several guys along the way who treated me as total equals.  One of whom was Jeff Buckley who taught me the two drum beats I can play on a kit now. And my producer Tim Patalan on Outside the Beauty Salon, who handed me a guitar and said â âYou play the lead.â
...
Any memories about touring with Dylan and Buckley that you could share?
Opening for Bob Dylan was one of those bucket list moments that seemed so unlikely, it wasnât even on the list. We found out about the tour dates while I was in France doing a promotional tour for Epiphany in Brooklyn. My manager busted into the room and said he had good news and bad news.  The good news was I was going to open for Bob Dylan, the bad news was I wasnât allowed to open for him solo acoustic. I had to have a band. I was in France, the show was in two weeks, and the guys I made the album with were all on tour with other artists. Of course, I said yes.  I had just written the song âtoo far goneâ and the timing was all over the place.  I didnât know if I would get in trouble, but the band dropped out and I did that one song solo acoustic.  The feeling of being on that stage, where you could hear a pin drop, singing to 6000 Bob Dylan fans⌠best ever moment.
With Jeff Buckley it was really different because we were friends.  I donât have a lot of tour stories because we were in different vehicles, but we would hang out at sound checks and play blues songs sometimes or eat together, but mostly we played our shows and went onto the next town.  But my memories of Jeff are more about hanging out in New York.  We spent hours together doing nothing.  Shopping in random thrift stores or making up dumb songs on the guitar.  In my mind, I can see him wheeling my 50lb amp down 9th street to a gig at Brownies, I remember him calling me last minute to come see him open up for Patti Smith at Irving Plaza.
The one serious recording we made together came from a time we were in my apartment and he was playing my tele, this really beautiful riff, and I said, âI have something that might work for thatâ and started reading these snippets of poems I had written in these tiny notebooks. After about 10 minutes he stopped and looked at me and said âfour-trackâ.  So funny because now you would just pull up an app on your iPhone and click a button, but back then, you had to set up microphones and plugin guitars and set levels. Jeff had a reel to reel tape machine in his apartment.  Anyway, that song turned out to be âFaith Salonsâ and itâs one of the last things he recorded.  When I hear his foot tapping and his vocals in the background it gets me every time.
