Thoughts Whilst Listening to the Beatle's Blue Album




I'm listening to the Beatle's blue album and it sounds to me like something from about 600 years ago honestly.
But in a good way though.
Like abbey road in London was in the renaissance.
They didn't even have colour then. Like films. So to me its from a long time ago. I think cos its on vinyl as well.
The needle on the vinyl sounds a wee bit like the lines on films. Vinyl is usually black. An uncompromising colour.
You know how you see top of the pops from 1967 and its black n white? Like as if it could be 1605 or something.
Long John Baldry and Mick Jagger is gonna be guy fawkes. Mick jagger goes out and gets a fag and its guy fawkes working in the shop.
The fireworks plot is under way under the top of the pops studio. engelbert humperdinck is in on it. 
But John Lennon's voice is so remote, like an ancient ship from a hundred hundred years ago. 
If I played this to children they would think it was from the stone age, they would actually love it because of that.
You know what i mean? As soon as they had colour it became modern. it started sounding modern. 
Everything from the last fifteen years sounds so fuckin digital. Like loud digital and everything, all the sounds are at the same level and there's no contrast. 
It's just a loud sound in the ear. that doesnt do anything. like its made of smooth steel rather than organic wood. 
somehow its just like a blank wall. 

That's what i think anyway.
