Directors Cut up on YouTube ~ hurry!

FLASH! Before it's deleted by the bigwigs, the entire BOOTLEG version of Anthology is up on YouTube ~
~ It's called The Beatles Anthology Director's Cut ~ occasionally you find it on the black market in the form of ten (that's right, 10) DVD's, and it keeps getting banned by eBay every time they find someone is trying to sell copies.
The difference between the regular Anthology and the Director's Cut?
Well! This bootleg has more than twice as much material that was changed and deleted, from what Apple & the Threetles-Plus-Yoko picked over and chose to sell to the public. This director's cut is a copy of the first version that was submitted for their approval, and believe you me, the for-sale version that you own is all butchered up!
All the links to the videos on YouTube have been posted on { THIS BOARD } of the forum for your convenience.
Watch 'em as soon as you can, because I'll bet they won't be up for long!!!
For further info and commentary about it ~
{ HERE } is a post I made about this bootleg set, back on February 15. Cheers!

 Wow. wow.
So often I get asked,
"How can I know more about Brian? What do I read?"
... this is it!
Someone on eBay is selling the other BEST book ever written about Brian Epstein!
The Man Who Made The Beatles
~ until Wednesday, May 14. Starting at 99 cents!
For Beatle fans, it's a "must have" ~ no doubt about that.
( More! )
It's the totally fascinating, lovely, comprehensive and complete biography of Brian, and a big part of it looks at the Beatles part of his life from the Eppy perspective (of course).
(Also, when the movie comes out, you will have a much deeper understanding of anything that might otherwise whiz over your head.)
This and the Debbie Geller book The Brian Epstein Story
~ Here are the latest cheapest prices on that one ~
these two books are totally equal but so very different, yet both so trustworthy.
Taking into consideration that shipping from
regular booksellers tends to be higher than $4,
let's compare with some prices from
Amazon ~ The Man Who Made The Beatles
Barnes & Noble ~ The Man Who Made The Beatles
Finders Cheapers ~ The Man Who Made The Beatles
(I like this site)
Alibris ~ The Man Who Made The Beatles
Abe Books ~ The Man Who Made The Beatles
Go ahead and look at the various prices. You know you want to. XD

 Once again, please do not click the link nor the LJ-cut if you don't want to get religiously ticked-off at me. Let me stew and ignore me if thou wilts (sic).
A recent comment to a flister rung a bell, so I did a search with my LJ Archive program, and sure enough, back in April 2006 I made { THIS POST } ~ which (wink,wink,nudge,nudge) is probably worth a re-perusal for me flisters.

The Parody’s Over:
Whither Our Era’s Mickey Katz

Essay
By David Kaufmann
Tue. Jan 08, 2008
In the 11 months since it was released on YouTube, Leah Kauffman’s parody of Justin Timberlake, “My Box in a Box,” has been viewed more than 4 million times. Her “I’ve Got a Crush…on Obama” — out since June 2007 — has been hit close to 5 million times.
Like Kauffman, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, “Reno 911” and “The Simpsons,” bless them, have done what they can to restore parody to its once prominent position in American comedy.
Nevertheless, their welcome success cannot hide the fact that at the movies, on television and on the radio, parody is just not as big as it was. While there is a lot of funny stuff going around these days, there just isn’t as much good, old-fashioned parody.
Especially Jewish parody. ( I’m sensitive to this because... )the sanctioned tumult, the wild rumpus of anarchism, which, as Gershom Scholem claimed, lies at the very heart of Judaism.

...there are just too many servers that your email has passed through, and has been archived into...
Gone, But Not Forever
By John Roach, special to MSN Tech & GadgetsE-mail difficult (actually impossible) to delete, easy to recover, experts say
This may be an old article, but it is still as true as ever.
Maybe even more true than we want to know.
( Read more... )
"You can't erase e-mails, not today. They've gone through too many servers," he said last month from the Senate floor.
Leahy later added to reporters that "a teenage kid in my neighborhood can go get 'em for them." ( . )
But since e-mail is used to communicate among users of different computers, it leaves a trail as it jumps across the Internet from server to server to the recipients' inboxes.
Thus, in order for a message to completely vanish, it would have to be wiped from the sender's computer, the mail servers in between, any backups of those servers and the recipients' machines. ( . )
John Roach frequently writes about technology, science and the environment for National Geographic News. He lives in Seattle.

reintroducing literacy to comedy songs.
And the rhymes actually rhyme, they don't just 'rhyne'.....
AND I LOVE JON STEWART AND STEPHEN COLBERT.

I've never been particularly fond of comic books (other than the occasional Mad Magazine of my big brother's when I was an adolescent)...
...but since I owe a Sunday religion-oriented post, and I'm aware many of you do love old comics, I came across this very comprehensive site which seems to present the best of both worlds.
Enjoy, superhero fans! XD

publicly for the first and only time, in tears,
about her beloved son ... I'm not really interested in the rest of this expensive box set, but I dearly wish to see this part of it.

I know. I'm sorry. I'm being a real pain in the tuchas today.
Three posts in a row this morning.
What a way to mess up your f'lists.
Anyway, did you know that there's a Brian Epstein Facebook?
Problem is, one must be a Facebook member to fully access and respond to any Facebook pages!!! You can click and see the Brian Epstein pic gallery, though.
Sooo.....
( Favors I must arsk of you all... )
Favor #3 ~ I've recently acquired a really rare audio, 11 minutes and 40 seconds of Brian Epstein on The Tonight Show August 22, 1966, being interviewed by Johnny Carson!
Thanks be to Paul K. at Six Plus Three!!!
The problem is, it's in .flac format. I can play it on WinAmp, but I need it as an mp3 for other reasons. I do not wish to install another program merely to convert one 77,266kb file.
Is there anybody out there who can convert it to mp3?
BTW, here's an interesting Tonight Show page.
Enough for now, okthxbye!

I would NOT recommend the $12.99 "Buy It Now" price, though.
You can always get it for less than that.
I don't know who the seller is, but I HAD to let y'all know about this!
99¢? How can you lose? Buy it for someone else if nothing else!

Just haven't been able to drag myself around (online) very well lately, I guess.
It's still a bit daylight out right now, so ...

It is a sobering thought that when Brian Epstein was Tom Lehrer's age, he had been dead for 48 years.

Jonathan Leeder, as some of you may already know, is "my man," my main contact at the movie ~ producer/screenwriter Vivek Tiwary's right-hand man; his "Mr Fixit" if you will.
Jonathan also works as a music journalist, and writes a weekly column for The Grand Street News, among other publications.
Below is an article of his from last month detailing his impressions of the talented group "Musicians On Call" ~ a charitable organization which, coincidentally, was co-founded (with Michael Solomon) by none other than our own above-mentioned Vivek himself! :)
So! Let me know what YOU think.
MUSICIANS ON CALL
 Single Room Concerts
A volunteer program brings musicians in contact with the men and women who need them by Jonathan Leeder
( I was extremely fortunate... )
For more information on Musicians On Call or The Rivington House,
please visit the websites Musicians On Call.org and Volunteer NYC.org
Here's another Musicians On Call writeup, this time on the Sloan-Kettering website:
~*~*~ Musicians On Call ~*~*~
Remember? Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
is where Neil Aspinall died two weeks ago.
......Augghhh, has it really been a whole two weeks already? :'(
M.O.C. Trivia:
Among those who have visited patients are E Street Band member Nils Lofgren, cancer survivor Levon Helm, Steely Dan's Donald Fagen (Hellooo ladyeffingbroke!!!), jazz star Dave Koz and comedian Don Rickles.
