Or click here for more information: Linktr.ee/BeatlesEarth   ----- The Beatles were an English rock band, formed in Liverpool in 1960, that comprised John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. They are regarded as the most influential band of all timeand were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock 'n' roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways; the band later explored music styles ranging from ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements. Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles evolved from Lennon's previous group, the Quarrymen, and built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three years from 1960, initially with Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass. The core trio of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, together since 1958, went through a succession of drummers, including Pete Best, before asking Starr to join them in 1962. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act, and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings, greatly expanding their domestic success after signing to EMI Records and achieving their first hit, "Love Me Do", in late 1962.   Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr all released solo albums in 1970. Their solo records sometimes involved one or more of the others; Starr's Ringo (1973) was the only album to include compositions and performances by all four ex-Beatles, albeit on separate songs. With Starr's participation, Harrison staged the Concert for Bangladesh in New York City in August 1971. Other than an unreleased jam session in 1974, later bootlegged as A Toot and a Snore in '74, Lennon and McCartney never recorded together again. Two double-LP sets of the Beatles' greatest hits, compiled by Klein, 1962–1966 and 1967–1970, were released in 1973, at first under the Apple Records imprint. Commonly known as the "Red Album" and "Blue Album", respectively, each has earned a Multi-Platinum certification in the US and a Platinum certification in the UK. Between 1976 and 1982, EMI/Capitol released a wave of compilation albums without input from the ex-Beatles, starting with the double-disc compilation Rock 'n' Roll Music. The only one to feature previously unreleased material was The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl (1977); the first officially issued concert recordings by the group, it contained selections from two shows they played during their 1964 and 1965 US tours. The music and enduring fame of the Beatles were commercially exploited in various other ways, again often outside their creative control. In April 1974, the musical John, Paul, George, Ringo ... and Bert, written by Willy Russell and featuring singer Barbara Dickson, opened in London. It included, with permission from Northern Songs, eleven Lennon-McCartney compositions and one by Harrison, "Here Comes the Sun". Displeased with the production's use of his song, Harrison withdrew his permission to use it.Later that year, the off-Broadway musical Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the Road opened. All This and World War II (1976) was an unorthodox nonfiction film that combined newsreel footage with covers of Beatles songs by performers ranging from Elton John and Keith Moon to the London Symphony Orchestra. The Broadway musical Beatlemania, an unauthorised nostalgia revue, opened in early 1977 and proved popular, spinning off five separate touring productions. In 1979, the band sued the producers, settling for several million dollars in damages. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978), a musical film starring the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton, was a commercial failure and an "artistic fiasco", according to Ingham. Accompanying the wave of Beatles nostalgia and persistent reunion rumours in the US during the 1970s, several entrepreneurs made public offers to the Beatles for a reunion concert.Promoter Bill Sargent first offered the Beatles $10 million for a reunion concert in 1974. He raised his offer to $30 million in January 1976 and then to $50 million the following month. On 24 April 1976, during a broadcast of Saturday Night Live, producer Lorne Michaels jokingly offered the Beatles $3,000 to reunite on the show. Lennon and McCartney were watching the live broadcast at Lennon's apartment at the Dakota in New York, which was within driving distance of the NBC studio where the show was being broadcast. The former bandmates briefly entertained the idea of going to the studio and surprising Michaels by accepting his offer, but decided not to.   Bill Wurtz (stylized in lower case as bill wurtz or billwurtz) is an American musician, singer-songwriter, animator, video editor, and internet personality based in New York City. He is known for his distinctive musical, comedic, and narrative style which includes deadpan delivery and singing paired with colorful surrealist, psychedelic, and non-sequitur graphics. Wurtz first published material on YouTube in 2013. He set up a website in 2014, presenting a catalog of music and videos he had created since 2002. Wurtz proceeded to upload edited versions of his videos on Vine, where he gained his initial popularity. He experienced breakout success on YouTube with his animated videos, History of Japan (2016), and History of the Entire World, I Guess (2017). Wurtz released music videos regularly from 2017 to March 2019. Through the rest of 2019 and all of 2020, Wurtz was inactive on YouTube, returning to the platform in January 2021 with a new visual style of 3D animation. Wurtz's first recorded composition was an instrumental named "Late Nite Lounge with Loud Lenny" which according to his site was recorded on June 17, 2002, his first recorded song was "stuck in a rut" recorded on March 3, 2005. Wurtz's first known YouTube activity were on an account called "billynothingshow". Wurtz was first known for his presence on the short-form video-sharing website Vine, where he first gained a following in 2014. He began by taking short videos he had previously published to his website and re-editing them to fit Vine's six-second restriction.Before transitioning fully to YouTube, Wurtz was uploading a video to Vine nearly every day. He received early attention in 2015 for the short video "Shaving My Piano", which was covered briefly in The Verge. On April 11, 2016, Wurtz won the Shorty Award for "Tech & Innovation: Weird" at the 8th Shorty Awards; during the awards ceremony, attention was given to one of his Vine uploads "I'm Still a Piece of Garbage". Wurtz withdrew from making vines to focus on finishing History of Japan. Wurtz had originally intended to make a video on US history, but abandoned it. Alongside interest on Vine, Wurtz achieved wider popularity in 2016 with History of Japan, a nine-minute YouTube video that outlines Japan's history. Wurtz chose the topic due to his lack of knowledge of it. The video covers key events of its history: "Buddhism, internal conflict, alliances with Britain, World War I, World War II, the dropping of atomic bombs and its post-war economic miracle". It showcases Wurtz's quirky visual and comedic style through a mixture of fast-paced narration and animation, intercut with short musical jingles. The video was described as "an entertaining new approach to education". It went viral on social media after its release on February 2, 2016, and under a week later, received over four million views by February 8. It particularly received considerable attention on Tumblr and Reddit. As of August 2021, the video has over 68 million views. German Lopez of Voxcalled it a "strange", "pretty good – and surprisingly funny" video.  History of the Entire World, I Guess was the top video on the YouTube trending page on the day of its release, receiving 3.2 million views on its first day, and on Reddit it became the most upvoted YouTube link of all time. It became an Internet meme and was listed at eighth place on YouTube's list of the top 10 trending videos of the year. As of January 2023, it has over 152 million views.[25] Writer German Lopez for the news website Vox praised the video for not heavily focusing on western and US history, and successfully covering other areas in world history which may be neglected in US schools, such as powers in China, Persia, and India. Because it resists specialization and assembles history in chronological order starting from the beginning of the Universe, history of the entire world, i guess can be considered a work of Big History, and is probably one of the most popular works associated with the discipline. It has been called a "must-see" and is considered to be Wurtz's magnum opus. In 2020, Thrillist ranked the video at number 40 on its list of best YouTube videos of all time. Wurtz's song "Just Did a Bad Thing" and the accompanying video spawned TikTok videos of people lip-syncing to the opening lines; in the platform, #ididabadthing became the top hashtag of March 2019. Following this, Wurtz would only post four more videos before his break, ending with "Might Quit". After "Might Quit" was released, Wurtz would not post any new videos to YouTube for nearly two years, before continuing to release music and videos animated in 3D with Blender. Wurtz has developed an absurdist, surreal style on both his music and animation. Eddie Kim wrote for MEL Magazine that Wurtz "refuses to mimic anyone else's animation or musical style, but it's not weird for weirdness' sake alone", comparing him to Thundercat and Louis Cole and highlighting Wurtz's pretty pop melodies, unexpected chords and multi-layered rhythms as commonalities. Geoff Carter of Las Vegas Weekly stated: "Merge Don Hertzfeldt, Jenny Holzer and Thundercat and you might get someone a little bit like Bill Wurtz". Nick Douglas of Lifehacker summarized him as "somewhere between comedy and education and vaporwave." Wurtz's music has been classified as jazz-pop, incorporating elements of lo-fi music, smooth jazz, funk and easy listening. Wurtz tends to reject genre categorization, and does not consider himself to be a jazz musician. Overall, his music evokes malaise, self-deprecation, and a "blurring of the lines between irony, parody and honesty".[35] This is often paired comedically with dire circumstances or sobering undertones. In an interview with Genius, Wurtz stated that "it's a good... songwriting technique to write about something bad with a good sounding melody, because if you can get people to feel good about something bad, then you're bulletproof in life." Wurtz's voice has been described as "silky tenor with range and energy". Artists who have expressed admiration for Wurtz's music include indie musicians Daði Freyr and Sidney Gish, fellow YouTube musician Adam Neely, DJ and producer Porter Robinson, as well as Australian singer Sia. '[Music] theory' may be fun, but it's made of liquid and has a tendency to melt. The music comes first and then you figure out how to describe what happened, although fully describing it can never be done. One of the classical composers said 'We will never understand music, but music understands us readily and instantly'.   Wurtz started playing music at a very early age. He has claimed to be "wholly self-taught" as a musician, and regularly downplays the importance of music theory in songwriting and composition, insisting that the sound and feel of music should be prioritized over attempts to conform to theory. In fact, one of the defining characteristics of Wurtz's style is a subversion to conventional approaches to composition. One example is "I Wanna Be a Movie Star", highlighted in an article for the student newspaper The Harbinger, where the author praised Wurtz's skill in incorporating complex time signatures without causing the music to feel "either incomplete or too long", instead achieving a sound that "feel[s] completely natural" and "pop-ish". Wurtz has used different programs to edit his music, including GarageBand from 2009 to 2010, and long-discontinued Logic Express 9 until at least 2016. Videos Wurtz's videos are typically in a lo-fi, neon aesthetic, and have been described as surreal and psychedelic. They range from "nonsensical" shorts to animated music videos, and often involve deadpan humor, dancing stick figures, vaporwave-like transitions and neon, sans-serif text on-screen. Wurtz often follows similar patterns in his videos such as multi-layering, and clip art images. He has stated the low-budget quality arose out of a necessity to publish videos regularly and evolved naturally. At Vidcon 2018, Wurtz was asked why his style is so different from other YouTube musicians. He stated that he chooses to "live under a rock" and produce his music in isolation rather than take inspiration from other creators on the platform. Wurtz publicly struggles with perfectionism, making use of schedules and deadlines to overcome it. In response to a fan question he explained that in the process of doing this he has "been forced to become an expert on carelessness". Website Wurtz launched his personal website billwurtz.com in 2014. Despite this, it has been compared to a late 1990s website due to its simple design. Apart from containing all of his released songs and most of his videos dating back since 2002, the website also features many other types of content not available elsewhere. For example, Wurtz posts vlog-style 'reality' videos depicting his creative process. Wurtz maintains a section on his website to answer anonymously submitted questions. His answers to questions are considered an aspect of Wurtz's creative output; the style of his answers have been described as "verging on the poetic" and "earnest, if somewhat loopy-sounding".

Blaze Bayley (Bayley Alexander Cook, nacido el 29 de mayo de 1963 en Birmingham) es un cantante británico, reconocido principalmente por haber sido el vocalista de la agrupación de heavy metal Iron Maiden desde 1994 hasta 1999. También fue el cantante de la agrupación Wolfsbane entre 1984 y 1994. En la actualidad se desempeña como músico solista.Bayley comenzó su carrera como cantante de un grupo musical llamado Wolfsbane. El primer álbum de la banda, Live Fast, Die Fast, fue lanzado en 1989. Anteriormente habían grabado tres demos titulados Wolfsbane (1985), Dancin 'Dirty (1987) y Wasted but Dangerous (1988). Este último fue grabado en los estudios Square Dance en Derby. La banda sirvió como acto de apertura de Iron Maiden de su gira No Prayer on the Road en 1990. El segundo lanzamiento de Wolfsbane, un EP titulado All Hell's Breaking Loose Down in Little Kathy Wilson's Place fue lanzado el mismo año. El segundo álbum de estudio completo de la banda, Down Fall the Good Guys, fue publicado en 1991. La discográfica Def American canceló el contrato con Wolfsbane ya que sentían que la banda no estaba vendiendo la cantidad suficiente de discos. Esto no impidió que la agrupación fuera votada como la mejor banda sin firmar del Reino Unido en 1993. Ese mismo año publicaron un álbum en vivo, Massive Noise Injection, a través del desconocido sello Bronze Company. La banda lanzó su tercer álbum de estudio, el homónimo Wolfsbane en 1994, nuevamente bajo el sello Bronze Company. Una edición limitada de este álbum incluye el EP Everything Else. Cuando el cantante Bruce Dickinson salió de Iron Maiden en 1993, Bayley fue uno de los que participaron a las audiciones para sustituirlo. Fue seleccionado sobre centenares de aspirantes por lo que trabajó de inmediato en el álbum The X Factor, que sería publicado en 1995. Wolfsbane se disolvió poco tiempo después. En 2007, Wolfsbane se reformó para una actuación única, con Bayley nuevamente asumiendo las funciones de vocalista y líder. Apoyaron a la banda The Wildhearts en una corta gira por el Reino Unido en diciembre de 2007. Su siguiente gira se realizó en diciembre de 2009 para apoyar a la agrupación The Quireboys en su gira A Little Bit of What You Fancy. Wolfsbane dio un concierto en el Borderline en Londres el 9 de abril de 2011, seguido por una gira de apoyo a Saxon en abril de 2011. Un nuevo álbum titulado Wolfsbane Save the World fue publicado en 2012.Después de un grave accidente de motocicleta que lo alejó de los escenarios y estudios de grabación durante un año, Bayley pudo grabar las voces para The X Factor de Iron Maiden, publicado finalmente en 1995, seguido por su correspondiente gira de apoyo. Otro álbum de Iron Maiden con la voz de Bayley, Virtual XI, fue lanzado en 1998. Los dos álbumes de Iron Maiden lanzados durante la estadía de Bayley en la banda no fueron muy bien recibidos por los fanáticos. The X Factor pudo ubicarse en la octava posición en la lista UK Albums Chart, pero Virtual XI solo pudo llegar hasta el puesto No. 16, siendo ambos los álbumes de estudio de Iron Maiden con peor presencia en las listas desde Killers de 1981, que alcanzó el puesto número doce. Bayley dejó Iron Maiden en febrero de 1999 después de escuchar los rumores del regreso de Bruce Dickinson. ? Iron Maiden ocasionalmente interpreta canciones de los dos álbumes de Maiden con Bayley, incluyendo "Man on the Edge" y "Futureal", que él coescribió, aunque ninguna canción de la época de Bayley fue incluida en los conciertos de la banda entre 2004 y 2018. Asimismo, Bayley ha interpretado las canciones de Iron Maiden originalmente grabadas por Dickinson y Paul Di'Anno en algunos de sus conciertos como solista. Después de su salida de Iron Maiden en 1999, Bailey formó su propia banda, BLAZE, en marzo de ese año. Bayley reclutó al guitarrista Steve Wray, al guitarrista John Slater, al bajista Rob Naylor y al baterista Jeff Singer y firmó un contrato con el sello alemán SPV, lanzando el álbum de estudio debut de la banda en el año 2000, Silicon Messiah. El álbum fue seguido por Tenth Dimension en 2002 y el primer álbum en vivo de la banda en 2003, As Live As It Gets. Todos esos álbumes obtuvieron críticas positivas, pero los problemas financieros y algunos inconvenientes con la compañía discográfica pronto llevaron a realizar cambios en la banda. Luego de grabar el álbum en vivo, Jeff Singer anunció su partida, seguido de Rob Naylor tres meses después. El baterista de sesión Phil Greenhouse y el bajista Wayne Banks fueron contratados para el resto de la gira de Tenth Dimension hasta que se encontraran reemplazos permanentes. El guitarrista Jason Banks fue reclutado para algunos conciertos a finales de 2003 para cubrir la vacante de John Slater. A finales de 2003, Blaze comenzó a escribir material para su tercer álbum de estudio, Blood & Belief. Phil Greenhouse fue reemplazado en la batería por Jason Bowld para la grabación y por Dave Knight para la gira, realizada poco después del lanzamiento del disco en 2004. Sin embargo, John Slater tuvo que perderse una gran parte de la gira, dejando la banda en septiembre junto con Steve Wray para formar la agrupación Rise To Addiction. El bajista Wayne Banks y el baterista Dave Knight dejaron la banda para unirse a la agrupación de Robin Gibb en septiembre de 2004. Blaze realizó una serie de conciertos en 2004 y 2005 con los guitarristas Oliver Palotai y Luca Princiotta, el bajista Nick Douglas y el baterista Daniel Löble. Los dos guitarristas finalmente se mantuvieron como miembros permanentes de la agrupación. La alineación cambió una vez más cuando Löble renunció para unirse a la banda alemana de power metal Helloween a principios de 2005 y cuando Douglas regresó a otra banda alemana de heavy metal, Doro. Los dos fueron reemplazados por los desconocidos músicos alemanes Daniel Schild y Christian Ammann, respectivamente. Con la nueva alineación, Blaze comenzó a trabajar en un cuarto álbum de estudio para su lanzamiento en 2007, pero en enero de ese año se anunció que toda la formación tenía que separarse debido a serios problemas financieros. Tras el cambio de alineación, Bayley optó por cambiar el nombre de la banda, llamándola Blaze Bayley Band.

On this smaller episode we're diving into the topic of small talk. Is it there real value in shooting the breeze, or is it just inane jibber-jabber? Wherever you stand on the topic, you're going to be called on to engage in small talk sooner or later—so how do you get more comfortable with it? Our producer asked the people who are probably the most fluent in small talk: bartenders. Then, Melissa and Alice are joined in the studio by Lifehacker staff writer Nick Douglas to discuss their varied feelings on idle chitchat, and if there's any value in talking about the weather.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week we're talking about impostor syndrome—the psychological phenomenon wherein people question their successes and have an internalized fear of being discovered as a fraud. We'll hear from Lifehacker's staff writer, Nick Douglas, who explains why he keeps something called a “brag file.” We'll also chat with clinical psychologist Dr. Jessamy Hibberd, author of the book The Impostor Cure. And our producer takes to the streets to find out how people deal with their own feelings of inadequacy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Memory is a strange thing. What is a “memory,” anyway? Where does it live? And where did we put our keys? We're unlocking the secrets of memory and how to improve ours with a little help from our friends. First, we've got staff writer Nick Douglas with a technique that will help you learn anything. Then staff writer Beth Skwarecki explains just how scientists sucked the memory out of one snail and put it in another—and what this means for all of us. Finally, four-time USA Memory Champion Nelson Dellis talks to Alice and Melissa about how he went from being a guy with an average memory to a, well, champion. And we play a memory game that listeners can play, as well.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mythbusters, as you probably know, is the popular show that aims to uncover the truth behind myths and legends, by mixing scientific method with ingenuity and experimentation.

And Would a bull really cause destruction in a china shop? For this interview, we've enlisted staff writers Nick Douglas and Patrick Austin. They're two enthusiastic Mythbusters fans who are going to ask these guys all about the tools and expertise it takes to find and bust myths.
