Carnival of Lights

I'm going to re-invest myself into keeping the blog updated because there is really so much show related content worth connecting to.

Tonight's main feature was a bootleg release of the unreleased experimental tape project recorded by the Beatles, entitled Carnival of Lights. Here is a link to a blog article with more information about the release and a link to download from the vuvuvuvuvu blog. 

This release is worth checking out because of who it is, and not so much what it is. Ir provides an example of how a band like the Beatles were influenced by some of their more weird and experimental predecessors and peers during the late 60s when they work working on albums like Sgt. Pepper.

I found the link via Ubu.com posted on their twitter. If you have a twitter account I highly recommend following them. They are always posting and linking so much great content from Ubu and from the far reaches of the Interweb, preventing you from being totally consumed in the all encompassing void of boredom.
