So long, Phil Everly
One half of the pioneering rock duo, the Everly Brothers, died yesterday at age 74, the New York Times reports.
With songs like “Wake Up Little Susie,” “Bye Bye Love,” “Cathy’s Clown,” “All I Have to Do Is Dream” and “When Will I Be Loved?,” written by Phil Everly, the brothers were consistent hitmakers in the late 1950s and early 1960s. They won over country, pop and even R&B listeners with a combination of clean-cut vocals and the rockabilly strum and twang of their guitars.They were also models for the next generations of rock vocal harmonies for the Beatles, Linda Ronstadt, Simon and Garfunkel and many others who recorded their songs and tried to emulate their precise, ringing vocal alchemy. The Everly Brothers were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in its first year, 1986.

"I first investigated this material way back at the end 1981 and you could discover all the paperwork related to the Beatles radio programs, what songs they covered, but finding the tapes, that was another matter."-----

Video find: Jim Henson short film "Ripples" from 1967 - music by Raymond Scott!
Via Electronic Cerebrectomy:
In 1966-67, Jim created two short films for a contest at Montreals Expo 67. One of these was "Ripples." Shot on 16mm film, Ripples explored motion and movement and was accompanied by an electronic score created in collaboration with jazz composer Raymond Scott. Shot in January 1967, Ripples featured an architect (played by Sesame Street colleague Jon Stone) tossing pebbles into water making ripples.
New pics of the Beatles US Albums box set!
New images of the Beatles' U.S. Albums box set, out Jan. 21, have been released.
The set includes all the American-version LPs issued during the 1960s by the Capitol and United Artists labels. These are the albums we Americans grew up with before the CD era, when EMI opted to go with the band's British as the "official catalog."
Before Sgt. Pepper, after which the U.S. and British albums were uniform, Capitol released the Beatles' music in different configurations from how they appeared in the U.K. We ended up with LPs such as Beatles 65 and Yesterday and Today not issued in England. The Hard Day's Night and Help! albums included instrumental music from those films in addition to songs by the Beatles.
This new collection includes all those LPs, which were once abundant, but are now considered rarities. The albums also will be available individually.
Here's a pic of the new box, along with the banned "butcher" cover of Yesterday and Today. Apparently, the new CD of that will feature a "peel-away" cover, so you can see the approved second cover and the banned one beneath it.
And here's the Beatles 50 logo Apple will evidently be using this year, which marks the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' first visit to America.
Here's the lineup of individual LPs. Click links to order from Amazon.
