...Nothing and Will It Go Round in Circles? Yet to such peers as Bob Dylan and the Beatles, the gregarious, gospel-influenced virtuoso, who also wrote You Are So Beautiful for Joe Cocker, was the most coveted session player of his era. Preston--who George Harrison said kept the Fab Four together on their final, tumultuous recording, Let It Be--famously accompanied them in their last concert, in 1969 on a London rooftop. He also received a rare honor on Get Back-the "fifth Beatle" was credited ("the Beatles with Billy Preston"), the only time a sideman for the band...
...Fab Four Suture Stereolab (Too Pure/Beggars) Stereolab is getting old. Not in a fully bad way, but in the way that anything middle-aged becomes a little more predictable and a little less exciting. “Fab Four Suture,” the band’s latest release, culls together a year or so of music, previously released only on vinyl, and packs it into a single album, available, depending on your level of connoisseurship, as a CD, a limited edition double 10”, or a triple 7”.

...when some drunken oral ambition goes horribly awry, but that’s only because it reminded me of a similar experience my roommate had last year.

That kind of gratuitous cruelty isn't all that uncommon in The Beatles. The Fab Four hated the silly, lovable mop-top image they created, and on that score alone they would probably love Spitz's book. He marshals a staggering mass of research in support of the conclusion, broadly speaking, that Lennon was a drug-addled, attention-hungry rageoholic who picked fights and cheated on his wife; Paul McCartney was a smarmy, manipulative charmer; and George Harrison was dour and sour. Before you lose faith entirely, it turns out Ringo really was just a lovable goofball...
Bill Tikos is another independent digital cool hunter. His website, thecoolhunter.net evolved from his Australian syndicated column on cultural trends. Tikos, 33, is currently in the U.S. trying to develop a television show featuring a quintet of globetrotting cool hunters-just call them the Fab Five. "I'm looking for the wow factor," he says. "I often spend eight hours searching for one interesting thing. A couple of years ago, I didn't even know what cool hunting was. Now it's my life...
