A Night in the Life

I’ve begun a nightly ritual of playing 2 Beatles singles while eating toast with gobs of butter like in old BBC kitchen sink dramas of the 1970s and dear reader I am here to tell you that yes, it’s all as delightful as you’re imagining it to be right now.🤗🎸🎸🥁 🇬🇧

Final Beatles Song...Ever? 😢

Paul McCartney has let it drop that there will be a "new" Beatles song before the end of the year using AI for John's voice:

“When we came to make what will be the last Beatles record – it was a demo that John had that we worked on and we just finished it up, it will be released this year – and we were able to take John’s voice and get it pure through this AI,” McCartney said. “So then we were able to mix the record as you would normally do.” 

A lot of fans are furious re: this using of AI making the song isn't "pure". Personally I don't really think it's a big deal, mostly since they basically did the same thing for the 1995 Beatles Anthology with Lennon demos to make Free as a Bird (meh) and Real Love (SUPERslice!). I'm a little weirded out to see the word "last" in there, a lá McCartney announcing it will be the final Beatles song ever. I know it's weird to think such a thing about a band that broke up in 1970 and have lost half their members to death, but hey that's just how much The Beatles mean to us. Maybe it's because just within the last 2 years they've given us an insane amount of new stuff to love about them, whether it's the Get Back documentary or McCartney's triumphant return to the Glastonbury stage, or the brilliant Revolver box set, we've almost gotten spoiled with the band's generosity for us.

But I am curious as before about the bullshittiness of Paul having to go thru Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison to get some thing like this, as I wondered back in 2008:

Why the fuck would Paul McCartney need approval from the widows of the two dead Beatles? Now, I'm all for their estates getting their share of the money, that's fine (and rather inconsequential in Beatle World, I'm assuming.) That's just the legality of things. But deciding to release a song is an artistic choice. A choice the artist uses to say "this is me/us." Neither Yoko nor Olivia were ever in the Beatles, were never part of the art. Why on Earth should they get to decide if a song gets released or not? Doesn't Paul McCartney's vote WAAAAAAAY trump theirs? In 1967 he could've recorded himself eating toast and released it; he was actually there, unlike Yoko and Olivia. I don't understand why their votes are equal here.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. 😡
