Buy this album: "Bedtime with the Beatles"



I've got to say that power popster Jason Falkner's Bedtime with the Beatles is probably the most relaxing CD that I own. Sure it's a lullaby album (available in blue or pink covers), but I think adults will be able to appreciate it. This is a slight departure for Falkner, but he does an excellent job of selecting and recording songs from the Lennon/McCartney catalog, often slowing down their original tempos. Very soothing stuff. I bought a copy of this CD for my sister when she was preggers a year and a half ago, as well as one for myself. If you want an album that you can drift off to sleep to (in a good way), this is it.

Where do you--of all people--get off linking us to an actual retailer to buy music? I learned everything I know about stealing music from you, and this is the road you now take me down!?!

Though somewhere in the UK, Shamrock is glad you've changed your ways.

Yes, but Shamrock still cries for his wife, who is a dirty music thief. In fact, I was just going to post to ask Micah if there might be a way for him to assist me in obtaining the contents of this album for my personal listening pleasure.
God, I hope big brother is not watching this post...

Well, to tell the truth, I'm still an outlaw in the eyes of the RIAA. I haven't downloaded much lately, except for some live shows by John Wesley Harding, Steve Poltz, Public Enemy, etc. Not that it isn't still my passion.

But I found something greater than downloading: the public library. I've copied a metric shit-ton of music from there. In fact, that's how I obtained my copy of the Bedtime with the Beatles (I did actually buy it for my sister from Amazon). You're guarenteed "CD quality" music.

Isn't Shamrock a bit less of a downloading prude than he was a few years ago?

Anyway, KPMD, I'll try to assist you in getting a copy of this after I get back from the beach.

Oh, and if Big Brother is reading, I purchased Moby's new CD today from Best Buy. I've got the receipt to prove it.

Ah,you see that's where I get tripped up. New Orleans, to my knowledge, does not have public libraries. Or private libraries. Come to think of it, I don't even think New Orleans has schools. And if it does, them doesn't work goodly for the kids.

You mean those thugged out local NO rappers that we saw on TV weren't Tulane or Loyola students?

Captain Backfire said...

Oh, I know you aren't talking smack about Full Effek. Do not go there. Ever.

Micah said...

HA! I was trying to think of their name, but was drawing a blank. Full Effek in the hizz-ouse!

Funny thing: I've been cleaning out my office all evening and came across a certain self-burned compilation CD given out to attendees of a certain blog commenter's wedding. Does the RIAA know about this?
