Dr. Spock's Backup Blog

 Hello one hello all to another Blog post. Sorry it's Taken so long for me to post again! I've been so caught up in real life and other social medias that my blog is not as big of a priority. Sorry to the single person that gives a shit! On June 17th I saw The Aquabats for the first time in 4 years.  2026 saw their triumphant return to the state of Michigan after not coming since 2022. It was at St Andrews Hall in Detroit, where i'd previously seen my first two Aquabats concerts in 2014 and 2017. It was lightly sprinkling when we got in line. Not too bad, right? Well, we stayed in line for almost 30 MINUTES before they let us in. Doors at 6 PM my ass! While we were in line, the guy behind me thought he saw Jack Black. There were two opening acts this time. The first was Sullvn, who are a ska band from California. Me and my mom enjoyed them. They brought Dicky Barrett from the Mighty Might Bosstones on-stage to perform "The Impression That I Get" and another song I...

 Like thousands of other Beatles fans, I was very excited for Paul McCartney's new album, "The Boys of Dungeon Lane", and I got it the day after release (Amazon decided to be a cheeky bastard and not deliver it on release day AS THEY FUCKING PROMISED TO.) It's a good album, I like it. But this week, it's had one of the biggest downfalls i've ever seen one of the Billboard charts.   Last week, it made its debut on the Billboard 200 chart, and peaked at number 5. Very good news, it's always nice to see people listening Macca.  But this week it's at NUMBER 145. Jesus Christ. What the hell happened between then and now? Is there some controversy I don't know about? Do Americans just not like Macca as much anymore? WTF???

 Hello to the one person that gives a shit about this blog! Today I went to a local record fair, and I got just three records, all Beatles or Beatles related. Here are all of them! Starting off with the earliest record, it's The Beatles' third US album, Something New! Originally released July 20th, 1964! I got this for only $2!! Can you believe that? This specific copy was pressed at Capitol Records' pressing plant in Scranton, Pennsylvania according to Discogs. This record wasn't a PITA to find on there like all the other ones. There are so many variants of the same pressing of these old Beatles records, you could probably spend a whole day looking for your specific copy on there!  Anyways, where was I? Oh yeah, Something New. This album consists mostly of tracks from the A Hard Day's Night album, which was released by United Artists Records instead of Capitol over here. They had a copy of that album for $14 at the fair, I would've gotten it but it was a bit be...
