Back around 1970, one or two of my older sisters (not the oldest) were excitedly discussing all these clues on Beatles albums which, if properly decoded, would tell the excited fans where and when (Wednesday morning at five o'clock?) to wait. And a helicopter would take you away to a wonderful island the Beatles had, where indescribably cool things would happen.
Well, as we all know now, these were in reality clues for when to rise up and murder people in and around Hollywood. No, wait, they were clues that revealed for sure that Paul was dead. No, wait, they were really Satanic messages, designed to corrupt the youth of America (and other places, I guess) so they'd rise up and satanically murder Paul. Or maybe Ringo.
Anyway, WFMU's "Beware the Blog" is letting us relive those thrilling days of yesteryear -- the Satanic ones -- with an album presentation of Michael Mills - Hidden and Satanic Messages in Rock Music. I haven't listened to it yet because it's late and I have to go to bed now.
It's part of this year's revival of the 365 Days Project, from which I've gotten some great audio tracks (like Meredith Willson's "Chicken Fat" and "Captain Hook" the Christian Kid-Show Pirate). This year they've already given us Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's "The L.S. Bumble Bee" and some hot robot jive, and it's only January 3! (Okay, it says January 4, but that's GMT, and I'm EST, where it's almost midnight.)
Anyway, to sum up, I'm going to bed now.
