If you grew up anywhere within the New York TV viewing radius in the Eighties, you probably remember the commercials advertising the Poconos’ “beautiful Mount Airy Lodge.” Fantastic Cat sure do.
The band’s new video for “All My Fault” is rich in shameless cheese — and gloriously fun. Structured around a video-dating-for-singles conceit in Pennsylvania’s mountain playground, the clip casts all four members of Fantastic Cat — Anthony D’Amato, Don Dilego, Brian Dunne, and Mike Montali — as hapless dudes looking for a connection. It doesn’t go well.

Paul McCartney revealed he came up with the melody of The Beatles’ “Yesterday” when he was at a movie star’s house. Paul had a very close relationship with that star. In retrospect, Paul wasn’t sure how long it took for him to finish writing “Yesterday.”
A reporter once told Paul McCartney that The Beatles’ ‘Yesterday’ took a year to finish
During a 2009 interview with Clash, Paul was asked why it took a year to finish “Yesterday.” “Was it?” Paul said. “I don’t remember it taking a year.
“It must have been from when I actually had the melody to when I’d finished it all,” he added. “I dreamed the melody one day in London when I was staying at Jane Asher’s house, who was my girlfriend at the time, and I was staying there and I woke up one morning with the song in my head.

Paul McCartney didn’t think he was self-aggrandizing by thinking his work on The Beatles’ “Here, There and Everywhere” was incredible. He discussed the milieu in which he wrote the song. Notably, The Beatles’ “Here, There and Everywhere” was not as popular as a country cover in the United States.

Paul McCartney fondly remembered a John Lennon quip from the recording of The Beatles’ “I Saw Her Standing There.” The joke showed off John’s vulgar side. Later, Paul said “I Saw Her Standing There” had a sexual element to it. He also revealed what he thought about it in retrospect.
Paul McCartney lost his pick at the recording of The Beatles’ ‘I Saw Her Standing There’
During a 2016 interview with Rolling Stone, Paul discussed The Beatles’ raw tapes. “The talk between the takes — I’ve always loved that,” he said. “We always had this two-track tape recorder running in case we came up with a little jam. ‘Take 36, what was that like?’
“But it was actually a chronicle of our dialogue,” he said. “There’s one bit I particularly liked: We were doing ‘I Saw Her Standing There.’ I went, ‘I can’t do it. I haven’t got my plec.

Having already proven their bona fides with both 1986’s Evol and 1987’s Sister, Sonic Youth delivered their most cohesive, accessible album to date with their 1988 opus Daydream Nation. Originally inspired by the ferocity of hardcore punk, the cerebral art rock of acts like the Velvet Underground and Public Image Ltd., and the avant-garde compositions of Glenn Branca, the album saw the four New York bohos sweeten their no-wave edge with anthemic songwriting.
Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo’s detuned guitars strum plaintively and hypnotically as Daydream Nation slowly shakes itself awake on “Teen Age Riot.” Bassist-singer Kim Gordon channels the Stooges’s eerie chants on 1969’s “We Will Fall” and even cribs from its lyrics: “Spirit, desire/We will fall,” she mumbles before the song’s dual-guitar riff tears the track apart.

The filmmaking trio collectively known as Rkss (François Simard, Anouk Whissell, and Yoann-Karl Whissell) have not one but two features making their rounds in the festival circuit: mean slasher Wake Up (our review) and charming horror-comedy We Are Zombies (our review).
We Are Zombies, an adaptation of Jerry Frissen and Guy Davis’ comic book series “The Zombies That Ate the World,” follows three slackers whose money schemes land them in trouble with an evil corporation that kidnaps their grandma. The catch? This particular world is overrun by zombies, though they’re not the insatiable brain-eaters you’d expect.
Alexander Nachi (“Clash”), Megan Peta Hill (“Riverdale”), and Derek Johns (“Moonfall”) star as Karl, Maggie, and Freddy, respectively, in We Are Zombies.
Bloody Disgusting spoke with Rkss after their Fantastic Fest screenings of both Wake Up and We Are Zombies, where they talked about the back-to-back productions.

Rapper Travis Scott released “Utopia” on July 28. It’s his fourth solo studio album and comes five years after his last effort, 2018’s blockbuster release “Astroworld,” which to date has been certified four-times platinum. That was also his most critically acclaimed album with a score of 85 on MetaCritic based on 19 reviews counted. How does “Utopia” compare? Does the album live up to its lofty title?
It depends on who you ask. As of this writing Scott’s album has divided critics. Based on eight reviews counted thus far, “Utopia” receives a MetaCritic score of 65, with four critics giving it positive grades and four giving it somewhat mixed reviews, but none outright panning the collection. The most positive assessment comes from Yousef Srour and Jem Aswad (Variety), who say “Utopia” “was worth the wait … the album expands his sound without drastically changing it,” the explain.

Paul McCartney has performed thousands of concerts throughout his career. Since he is still human, he is bound to make a few mistakes during these performances. With so many iconic songs from The Beatles, Wings, and his solo career, he was bound to mix up some lyrics or forget them altogether. McCartney admitted he made a mistake while performing “Penny Lane” and restarted the song.

Paul McCartney constantly changes his setlist while on tour. He consistently plays only a few songs, like “Hey Jude” and “Live and Let Die”. When he decides to bring a song back, he has to perfect it once more, even after years of never playing it. “Penny Lane” is a Beatles classic but not one audiences clamor for.

While many artists were satisfied with releasing lackluster B-sides, The Beatles always ensured every single had a stellar A-side and B-side. Sometimes, the fab four liked the B-side more, but the studio would decide the A-side appealed to a broader audience. Still, The Beatles weren’t shy about sharing when they believed a B-side was better. Here are three B-sides that The Beatles liked more than the A-sides.
‘Rain’ The Beatles
“Rain” was released as the B-side to “Paperback Writer” in 1966. It was a minor hit, reaching No. 23 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It’s one of the weirder but more underrated Beatles singles, as it has a unique sound created by experimenting with a tape recorder. The Beatles would play sped up but slow it down on the recorder to get the desired tempo.
Ringo Starr considers “Rain” one of his favorite songs and his best drumming performance with The Beatles.

Paul McCartney’s education in Liverpool included a great deal of literature. One author who influenced the young songwriter was William Shakespeare, whose poetry and rhyming style impacted McCartney’s songwriting. For a few Beatles songs, McCartney went back to his Shakespeare education and used the author as an inspiration.

McCartney’s English teacher, Alan Durband, introduced him to several of his literary favorites, including Chaucer and Shakespeare. He read a lot of Shakespeare, some of which would unintentionally make its way into his songwriting. In The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present, McCartney said Shakespeare may have influenced The Beatles’ “I Saw Her Standing There.”

“Penny Lane” was released in 1967 as a double-a side single with “Strawberry Fields Forever”. The track was primarily written by Paul McCartney and is about a street in Liverpool called Penny Lane. The song is McCartney’s recollection of the street from his upbringing. In a 2009 interview with Clash, McCartney reflected on “Penny Lane”, saying it was a place he and John Lennon knew well.
‘“Penny Lane’ was kind of nostalgic, but it was really a place that John and I knew,” McCartney said. “It was actually a bus terminus.

“Hey Jude” is one of the biggest hits by The Beatles. While the track has been listened to billions of times, many fans miss an odd moment where a curse word can be heard in the background. The Beatles were aware of the curse word in the middle of the song but decided to leave it in, despite the swear being accidental.

Joe Rogan has been ridiculed by fans after falling for a clickbait hoax on YouTube.
The Joe Rogan Experience presenter has faced high-profile boycotts in the past over his platforming of conspiracy theories.
During a recent episode, Rogan was seen describing at length a boxing match he had seen that supposedly took place between a father and a son.
“I saw a video today of a boxing match between a father and a son. It made me so sad. Because there’s this young kid, he looks like he’s probably 17 or 18, and the father’s 42. And the father beats the s*** out of him.”
Rogan went on to describe the one-sided bout in detail, claiming that the younger fighter “definitely has brain damage now”.
“You just did that to your son. You’re supposed to just touch him up... You don’t tee off on your son’s face on television.

A new documentary, Rebel Dread, will examine the influence of Don Letts, the British filmmaker, and musician who captured some of the most significant footage of punk’s first wave and cofounded Big Audio Dynamite with the Clash’s Mick Jones.
“Punk rock’s a living thing,” Letts says in the film’s trailer. “It’s about turning problems into assets. And as a first-generation, British-born Black, that’s something I know a lot about.” The 30-second clip features footage of the Clash and England’s Black community in the Seventies.
