The album cover features very tropical graphics
GONE TROPPO (1982) #GeorgeHarrison refused to promote this album which tells you something. Mostly light-hearted and perhaps light weight, it has its moments. Good songs are smothered under the production though, resulting in an album that plays nice but doesn't really leave you with much #MusicSky🎵
Been playing with this Google Chrome browser/ Gemini AI integration tonight. Something of a game changer for ordinary folk using the web and interacting with it. Gemini "Live" allows me to talk to the browser and ask questions about the website I'm on. #Google #Tech

Internet archive continuing to see the drop of huge sets of comic fanzines: COMICS READER, COMICS FILE SPOTLIGHT, MARVEL AGE, OVERSTREET'S FAN, NEMO CLASSIC COMICS LIBRARY, MEDIASCENE. Many non-English titles. Rarities. Great articles, profiles, graphics. #comics #Booksky

FLAMING PIE (1997) Hot on the heels of the #Beatles Anthology project, #PaulMcCartney released this Beatles peppered album to wide acclaim. #RingoStarr & George Martin guest, as does Steve Miller. Several of the ballads sound like WHITE ALBUM cuts. That's the era it reminds me of the most #MusicSky🎵
Enjoying this one. Doesn't sugarcoat the sex, drugs and rock & roll history. Evans kept an ongoing diary since the early days, so his recollections are substantiated by his entries. Feels authentic. Many first-person recollections new to me.
Up to the formation of Apple 1968 #NowReading #Beatles
MILK AND HONEY (1984) A mostly jaunty, jubilant #JohnLennon reflects on his domestic, family life with a touch of reggae. #YokoOno tracks lack the edgy punk electricity of her DOUBLE FANTASY songs. The simple demo of GROW OLD WITH ME the highlight, reminiscent of his early 70s ballads #MusicSky 🎵🍼🐝
The album cover sees Sonny and Cher posing near a tree.
LOOK AT US (1965) #SonnyandCher hit big with I GOT YOU BABE and quickly recorded their debut LP. Vibrant 60s pop production boosts adequate cover versions. The few originals can't match BABE but their duets have a fun feel. Producer Bono influenced by the Phil Spector sound. Pleasant spin #MusicSky
French DVD cover for the movie
SPACEBALLS (1987) The news that a sequel is in the works got me nostalgic for this one. STAR WARS spoof isn't up there with top tier Mel Brooks but it's a fun watch. Key cast members returning for THE NEW ONE, but it will be lacking something without John Candy and Joan Rivers. #Spaceballs #FilmSky🎬
Five film posters on Eastwood films
Clint Eastwood getting up there in years (95). Found myself rewatching several of his films lately. Fine filmmaker with such a diverse filmography #ClintEastwood. #FilmSky 🎬
Documentary: CLINT EASTWOOD: THE LAST LEGEND is a decent overview of his acting / directing career.
LOVE (MEDITATION MIXES) New from the #JohnLennon estate is this collection for your next yoga or meditation session. Lennon's song LOVE (orig from JOHN LENNON/ PLASTIC ONO BAND album) is mixed with ambient music. Unusual idea will probably have its fans. #MusicSky 🎧 Sample.

The album cover for REVOLVER features a mixed media work by Klaus Voorman, constiting of a collage of Beatles photos and Voorman's sketches
REVOLVER (1966) Extraordinary leap from RUBBER SOUL. The advances (and chances taken) in songwriting, musicianship, singing style. It's almost like they are a completely different band. Seeds of SGT PEPPER are all here. Must dig out the Super-Deluxe edition for another listen. #Beatles #MusicSky 🎸🎧🎵
Ringo's album cover has a psychedelic, religious aspect to it.
TIME TAKES TIME (1992) I think #RingoStarr finally found his post- #Beatles mojo here. Delivering a punchy upbeat rock album that's the beginning of a musical & creative phase that continues to the present day. Catchy songs, modern production, strong musicianship. Songs suit Ringo well #MusicSky 🎸🎧🎵
Listening to #LanaDelRey 's latest song this morning. Thinking - that sounds like a James Bond title song. And indeed, it is. Taken from the upcoming James Bond game '007 First Light' - coming in May #JamesBond

Another recent promotion. Didn't know that actor Jeff Bridges even knew Ringo

New! #RingoStarr and producer/ collaborator T Bone Burnette talk new Ringo album and more. Good little chat #Beatles #MusicSky .

Black and White photo of Paul McCartney on the album cover
ALL THE BEST (1987 UK version) Updates WINGS GREATEST with additional tracks from #PaulMcCartney 's solo career. Solid collection of popular hits. US version has a different track listing, as does vinyl / CD. New track ONCE UPON A LONG AGO is underwhelming. #MusicSky 🎵🎸🎧
News from CinemaCon was this Warner Bros announcement about their new Clockwork division aimed at developing Indie projects for theatrical release. Hopefully, this will lead to investment in more challenging, diverse cinema #filmsky 🎬

Trailer: GODZILLA MINUS ZERO: Those #Godzilla films of the 60s-70s were too childish and goofy for me but GODZILLA MINUS ONE, from a couple of years ago, was a surprise knockout drama. Hitting the reset button hard. Sequel looks like it is in the same vein. #FilmSky 🎬

Trailer: BROKEN RHYTHM: BRUCE LEE'S GAME OF DEATH: New feature length documentary on #BruceLee 's last film project. I'm not sure what else they can add to the story. Recall my double DVD had some comprehensive extras. Still, looks like there's enough here to warrant a watch

George Harrison on the cover of his LP
SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND (1981) Record executives wanted #GeorgeHarrison 's album to have more commercial appeal, forcing him to add some chart friendly songs. The new songs helped propel it into the charts, but you can hear and feel his displeasure. Respectable LP with a few questionables. #musicsky 🎵🎸
Back cover of Lennon's album sees him wear several pairs of his signature eyeglasses in a funny photo.
WALLS AND BRIDGES (1974) Recorded during #JohnLennon 's Lost Weekend. Living life as a party, he delivered this underrated album = that really doesn't get enough love. It's got that old Lennon grunt (lacking somewhat in MIND GAMES) with wild rockers blasting out and beautiful ballads. #MusicSky 🎸🎵
DVD cover of the movie shows us four different versions of the main character
BEAU IS AFRAID (2023) is probably the most anxiety inducing film I've seen since Aronofsky's MOTHER. File under WTAF and store with your David Lynch and Jodorowsky movies because this head spin takes you to some strange places. So much to unpack. May need to see again or visit a therapist #filmsky
FLY ON THE WALL podcast with David Spade & Dana Carvey in a casual interview with #RingoStarr who talks about his new album LONG LONG ROAD and chats #Beatles with them. Ringo looks and sounds great. Doesn't do a lot of promotion like this normally. #MusicSky 🎵🎸🎧

MONA BEST AND THE BEATLES: 2025 BBC radio play about Mona Best (mother of original #Beatles drummer, Pete) who opened the Casbah Club in Liverpool & had a secret affair with young Neil Aspinall, the Beatles road manager at the time. Interesting dramatization, probably only for diehard fans #MusicSky
The front cover of the book features a black and white photo of Mal Evans with Paul McCartney
LIVING THE BEATLES LEGEND. #NowReading. Mal Evans was the roadie and long-time chum of the #Beatles A genuine insider who died in 1976 before completing this memoir. Taken up by a new author, the bio was finally released in 2023. Keen to read this one. Evans was there for most of it. #MusicSky 🎵🎸🎧
LIVE IN JAPAN (1992) Apparently #EricClapton convinced hermit #GeorgeHarrison to play some live shows in 1991. The resulting album features #Beatles favourites & stand out tracks from his solo career. Some surprise inclusions like PIGGIES. Clapton on fire on WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS #MusicSky 🎸🎧
MORE OF THE MONKEES (1967) Supported by top songwriters & studio musicians, The #Monkees second album was a strong pop offering. The Deluxe edition features alternate takes & additional songs. They certainly had some great tracks but were also forced to sing some syrupy sludge goo. #MusicSky 🎵🎸🎧
Image of Paul McCartney in headphones and singing into a microphone. Russian writing.
BACK IN THE USSR (aka Снова в СССР) The 1987 Russian album by #PaulMcCartney originally only for the Soviets as a gesture of peace, is a solid collection of old rock'n'roll covers.
Something of a flashback to the Cavern and Hamburg days, it was a huge collectable at one stage. #MusicSky 🎵🎸🎧
Album cover features the band members in tight close up
THE MONKEES (1966) Yes, I know about the studio musicians, but this is still a cracking good debut for the #Monkees. Catchy, under 3min pop. With a madcap TV series to help promote them, it was a successful venture (for a while) Songs hold up and #MickeyDolenz is an underrated vocalist. #MusicSky 🎵🎸
Album cover features John Lennon in a double exposure with a clouded sky.
IMAGINE (1971) Arguably #JohnLennon 's best solo album. Filled with love, anguish, anger & a little spite, he was on a creative high, delivering the anthem he would be best remembered for. #PhilSpector helped shape its commercial appeal. #GeorgeHarrison contributed some blistering guitar
