A Hard Day's Night (making of)

(Makes a video about A Hard Day's Night - doesn't even talk about it all that much) Something I learned from my Magical Mystery Tour videos is that when it comes down to it, recapping the day to day filming is not ALLL that entertaining (to me at least!) Hopefully I struck a decent balance here. Have to admit, I'm far more excited for the next video covering the World Tour... that'll be coming not too long down the road ;)

'I'm Quitting The Beatles' Part 8 (the final episode)

Phewwwww! Tbh, I've gotten a bit lost in the sauce on this one, between compiling all the information and reformatting two videos into one. I'll need to come at it with a fresh eye sometime, but in the meantime, it is here for you, and hopefully still plenty compelling ;-)

WHICH ONE?

I'm taking Part 8 and Part 9 of the series and squishing them together as the final episode of the series for Youtube. This isn't Youtube though... Which option would you prefer? <3

The last days of The Beatles (#7)

I'm really happy with how this one turned out! I would love to hear feedback on how the business stuff was communicated/presented. It's difficult material to summarize because it is so important but also isn't very exciting. In doing all this research you really realize that while John and the others were foolish to go with Klein, Paul and The Eastman's were intolerable. There are no good guys. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Before Dookie

I'll be honest... I kind of lost my enthusiasm on this one (not that the video is that bad or anything.) A little backstory - It was really only around middle school that I seriously listened to anyone but The Beatles, and it was Green Day that sort of took up that #1 band mantle for me. I kind of outgrew them around high school, and they were one of those bands that once I outgrew them, I never found myself that interested in them again. Well, when I was pondering another band to cover for ...

What 'Get Back' didn't show you (#6)

geeeez sorry this took so long. This video was actually surprisingly hard to put together (and will probably be a bitch to edit for Youtube lol). As always, I would like to thank you all so much for your support <333

Not even human | Björk - Homogenic

Probably way out of left field for most of you all! But a super interesting period in a unique artist's life and discography.

The White Album Sessions (were even worse than you thought) #5

This one was fun. My very first video was on the White Album, so it was cool to tackle those sessions again but from a different angle.

Nevermind

the first non-Beatles long form video! I appreciate everyone's patience, I promise Part 5 of the Beatles series isn't far behind. I hope there's at least a few of you who will enjoy this.

Did The Beatles invent the diss track?

Ta-Da! First video for the new channel. Nothing all that groundbreaking, and I cover some information that I literally just shared with you all, but I suppose it's slightly better than nothing at all? Maybe, but just barely.

a new channel...?

hello out there beautiful people! this is an announcement that I will slowly but surely creating content for a separate channel. Really, this is just so I can occasionally explore non-Beatles related documentaries (though the Beatles WILL ALWAYS be my #1 priority). Don't expect the same level of quality over there, (my passion for The Beatles is unmatched), but it'll still be up to a high standard.

I've released a "trailer" for the channel. If anyone wanted to check it out, and comment...

Just realized I forgot to re-edit a chunk - just going to keep this one up until I upload the updated one!

Why The Beatles Broke Up (#1)

It's here!! So very excited to continue on with this series. This first part provides A LOT of context going forward - unfortunately, a lot of the context is material we have covered recently. Still, there's a lot of new stuff here, and I hope I've done a good job of weaving it all together and starting to lay the foundation for future videos :)

Update!

Hi everyone! I wanted to fill you all in on what I've currently got in the works!

I'm sorry its been so long since I've provided some more content. I so dearly appreciate having you guys here!

SO, ANYWAYS, I have been working like a maniac on the "Why The Beatles Broke Up" series. What I thought would be an ambitious 3-4 part series is looking like it is going to be an 8 part series... each part coming to about 40-60 minutes. I probably have another week or so of writing before ...

This is what Beatlemania looked like

Digging through all of the available footage from their first US visit was a ton of fun... HOWEVER - turns out that all of it flags for copyright on youtube .. just going to have to find some work around for that ha

Upcoming videos...thoughts!

Just wanted to take a moment to thank you all and tune you in to some upcoming videos.

Seriously, your support means so much to me. I know you all aren't the chattiest bunch (and that's okay 😍) but it's an honor to have a little community here!

So right now, the plan is this: edit and release one more video, bringing us to beginning of the filming of A Hard Day's Night. Then we'll jump into my most ambitious project to date: WHY THE BEATLES BROKE UP

I've already started ...
