Artist Steve McLaughlin compiled all the Beatles albums cheap hotels nyc and compressed them to 1 hour. The end result takes you on a trip thats far surpasses the hallucigenity of the gay strawberry fields. Even better, one person recompressed several tracks... [Read More]
Alright, cheap hotels nyc so its not the entire Beatles catalog.  It is every Beatles LP every released in the UK.  This is definitely different.  Its difficult to make out the songs if you dont know what youre listening to, but some are ... [Read More]
So, I was listening to Kenny Gs Intelligent Design show on WFMU yesterday, cheap hotels nyc and he starts playing a piece by Steve McLaughlin called Run for Your Life. The piece consists of all of the Beatles albums, from Please Please Me to Let It... [Read More]
On the air, I had suggested that if Beatles fans wanted the entire Beatles catalog for free, that they were welcome to decompress the file and chop it up into dozens of three-minute tracks. However, the results -- as shown to us by Editor B -- can be somewhat different than the originals!!!
If you notice on the U.S. release, the page numbers don t match up with the comments in the booklet. This is because side 2 of the LP was made up of songs that had not been released in the U.S., where they had been previously released in the U.K.
OK, now, fess up...who actually listened cheap hotels nyc to the whole hour and ENJOYED it? What s the point? If I want a similar experience, I can play a Beatles CD on my player and hit the play/fast forward button. Not that exhilirating. In essence: Big Fucking Deal.
Also, last year a co-worker of mine had a CD with the entire cheap hotels nyc Beatles catalog as one giant WAV file. I guess that was making the round of the darknet. Audio quality not so good but still kinda cool to have all in one place. I wonder if that was the source material for Run for Your Life ?
Then I used the handy little app iTunesJoin to make each album into a single file, sped them up separately, and connected. Incidentally, I couldn t find any Mac software that speeds files up with a reasonable degree of accuracy (that is, preserving fine details -- not chopping out huge chunks). After trying Soundtrack Pro, Ableton, Audacity, and Soundbooth with disappointing results, I booted Windows cheap hotels nyc and Adobe Audition worked like a charm.
Good! Let s hope no-one get s sued like Gnarls Barkley s DJ Dangermouse for the Grey Album . Beatles aside, this just shows what can and should be done with earlier music, which should belong to all of us once it s been released into the public domain and the original artist has made some money. It allows everyone after to be creative, and forces those before not to be lazy.
