The Beatles again: Within you, without you / Tomorrow Never Knows

What is interesting, in addition to the video itself:

• promotes the new ‘Love’ remixes The Beatles album. The video was posted by ‘TheBeatlesOfficial [EN]‘ on YouTube and the link was promoted with the official TheBeatles.com [EN] newsletter
• the video is heavily reminiscent of the WMP/Winamp/iTunes visualisations.

Romanian wunderkind

Cleopatra Stratan, the daughter of Moldovan musician Pavel Stratan, became a hit in Romania. She sold 150.000 copies of a record including songs composed by her father.

Coca-Cola Ad

What I like: the ‘mise en abime’ proceeding (gathering of people, guy giving a signal with the whistle, shadow of chopper). Imagine the ad without it - would have been hollow. Has a self-referential component, inducing ‘we do sumptuous ads’ into the watcher’s mind.

The Beatles ‘Love’ preview

Thebeatles.com EMI site offers remixes from the new ‘Love’ album, to be launched on November 20th. You have to register in order to be able to listen to radically different versions of ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’, ‘Octopus’s Garden’, ‘Lady Madonna’ or ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’.

The tracks were reworked by George Martin, the Beatles producer, and his son Giles, from the original tracks (Strawberry Fields includes samples from ‘Penny Lane’, ‘Piggies’ and Martin’s own piano solo on ‘In My Life’, for example).

The idea of doing a Las Vegas show with Beatles remixes sounds funny, as does Martin’s son participation in the project. The result is however surprising and at the same time true to the Beatles spirit.

Drunk blogging also includes visiting other blog sites to leave inappropriate comments.’
