This has got to be one of the coolest things I’ve found on the Internet. So all Beatles’ fans know that the song World Without Love was written by Paul McCartney during The Beatles, but was vetoed by John Lennon because he couldn’t help but crack up after the first line that goes, “Please lock me away.” So Paul ended up giving the song to new singing group, Peter and Gordon, who recorded it and it went number 1.

The world has been searching FOREVER for a demo or some scraps of The Beatles or Paul actually singing the song. There have been some really suspect recordings that really can’t be verified, but Pete Asher (the Peter in Peter and Gordon) stumbled on a recording, laying in an old box, that he made of Paul singing one verse into his tape recorder so he’d know what it’s supposed to sound like before he and Gordon went to the recording studio to record it. This is that recording that was JUST released this year by Peter Asher. Very cool to hear Paul actually singing the song. There’s almost no doubt if The Beatles had actually recorded the song it would have gone number one. But there are many songs the Beatles gave away or sold that probably would have been hits if they had chosen to record it.

Tame Impala did an amazing cover of Outkast’s Prototype today. If you close your eyes it’s like John Lennon singing Outkast.

SPOILER ALERT for anyone intending to play Bioshock Infinite.

The following song is the last song to play at the end of the Bioshock Infinite’s credits. During the game there’s a choral version and a more refined game/studio version - but I really liked the one during the credits.

This summer I had brain surgery. It’s for my movement disorder called dystonia; basically, my legs, hands, and neck will randomly and uncontrollably go into spasm. The weirdest part is that this started happening out of nowhere towards the end of high school. The surgery consisted of the installation of two electrodes deep into my brain, connected by wires to batteries in my chest. Usually people will respond to that by saying something like, “so… you’re like, Ironman?!” I got one of those today. It’s always funny to see how people will react. Recently it’s been a lot easier for me to get around, so others don’t always notice.

But, I feel like there will always be sort of a disconnect for me with other people. Of course, everyone has something that no one may understand.

That’s one of the most beautiful things about us: there’s not a single person out there who can understand completely who you are, maybe not even ourselves. So, how can we possibly think we understand the world around us, or what is happening to us every day?

Sitting in a waiting area with an old professor. He looked up from his phone after a few minutes and asked, “What would we do without smartphones?” I replied, “Read newspapers? Have conversations?” Then I transcribed the event for the Internet on my iPhone.

“People… they don’t write anymore - they blog. Instead of talking, they text, no punctuation, no grammar: LOL this and LMFAO that. You know, it just seems to me it’s just a bunch of stupid people pseudo-communicating with a bunch of other stupid people in a proto-language that resembles more what cavemen used to speak than the King’s English.”

I’m looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find
Without a trust or flaming fields, am I too dumb to refine?
And if you took to me like
Well I’d a danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would ‘a fared well
